Joshua Tiao (Chinese: 刁智全; pinyin: Diāo Zhìquán; born November 10, 1975) is a Tsengian politician. He is the current chairperson of the National Prosperity Party, one of Tseng's two major political parties, since July 25, 2020, when William Wu resigned following his 2020 election loss to John Cheng.

Early life

Tiao ran for councillor for Fenghe District, Qishan City, in 2006. He was elected. In 2010, he became a member of the Qishan City Council. In 2014, he was elected Mayor of Qishan City, becoming the youngest mayor of that city.

Chairperson of the NPP
After William Wu resigned after his 2020 election loss, Tiao was elected as the new Chairperson of the NPP. He says Tseng needs to step up security against China. On February 3, 2021, President John Cheng said Tiao is an "embarrassment" to the NPP and that Tiao is only known for his looks and his inheritance. Tiao fought back, saying that Cheng is "closeted", referring to his 2019 interview with NPR.
