When candidates were being nominated to run for the legislature last year, one candidate publicly renounced his American passport. In 1989 when Li Tsung-fan was running in elections for Tainan County Magistrate, he did the same with his Japanese passport.
像去年底立法委員選舉提名時，中南部就有候選人宣佈放棄他的美國護照；七十八年李宗藩參加台南縣長選舉時，也表示放棄他的日本護照。
