Education
He received a bachelor's degree in engineering from National Cheng Kung University, before studying business administration at the National Chengchi University. Lai taught the subject and eventually chaired the Graduate Institute of Business Administration at NCCU. He returned to engineering while as a master's and doctoral student at the University of Southern California.[1]
Political career
From 1999 to 2002, Lai was a New Party legislator.[2][3] Despite a declaration that he would leave the New Party at the end of 2001 but not join another party,[4] Lai switched affiliations to the Kuomintang in his legislative second term and secured the continued endorsement of the New Party.[5]
Lai was also promoted to increasingly important KMT caucus positions. In April 2005 he was deputy secretary of the caucus.[6] By July, Lai had become caucus whip,[7] a position he held until February 2016.[8] Lai was nominated as the Kuomintang candidate for speaker of the ninth Legislative Yuan.[9] The Democratic Progressive Party held a majority in the legislature, and elected Su Jia-chyuan as President of the Legislative Yuan. In 2020, Lai was again nominated for the speakership, losing for a second time, to Yu Shyi-kun.[10]
