Political career Chen was listed on the Democratic Progressive Party list and elected to the Legislative Yuan via proportional representation in 2004. She criticized a 2004 bill regarding land restoration and conservation, stating, "Land restoration and conservation should be a national issue, not the sole responsibility of aboriginal peoples. If the government really wants the draft to benefit indigenous peoples, it can approve various budgets, such as for a forest protection fund, to assist them with practical sustainable development plans." As written, the bill was vague, not practical, and amounted to political propaganda, she believed. Chen also derided government attempts to promote aboriginal languages. Chen supported the caning of people who have committed sex crimes.
She was named the leader of Taipei's Indigenous Peoples Commission by mayor Ko Wen-je in December 2014, and began receiving pressure to resign in 2016, after she made remarks that stigmatized Atayals.
