Hsieh Shen-shan (Chinese: 謝深山; pinyin: Xiè Shēnshān; born 10 February 1939) is a Taiwanese politician.

Political career

Hsieh served in the Legislative Yuan from 1973 to 1994 as a representative of Hualien County,[1] when he was chosen to head the Council of Labor Affairs. He stepped down from that position to run for Taipei County Magistrate in 1997. Hsieh lost to Su Tseng-chang and was named the secretary-general of the Executive Yuan the next year, before stepping down in 2000 upon the election of Chen Shui-bian.[2] He came out of retirement in 2003 to run for the office of Hualian County magistrate after Chang Fu-hsing had died in office. The Kuomintang nominated Hsieh over many other KMT-affiliated candidates, including Chang's widow Liu Chao-a, and former magistrate Wu Kuo-tung.[3][4] Listed second on the ballot, Hsieh finished first in the by-election with 73,710 votes.[5][6] He was reelected in 2005 and stepped down at the end of his term in 2009.
