Chou Ching-chun (simplified Chinese: 周庆峻; traditional Chinese: 周慶峻) was a Taiwanese politician and Chinese nationalist who was president of the Patriot Alliance Association.
Chou Ching-chun was born in 1943 in Haifeng County, Guangdong Province of a large family. He and his family was suppressed after the Chinese Communist Revolution, and he escaped to Hong Kong, then a British colony, by stowaway between 1961 and 1962. He moved to Taiwan after the Sino-British Joint Declaration because of his antipathy towards communism. He also held Taiwanese citizenship after 1949. He ran for a legislative seat in 1995 campaigning on an anti-communist Chinese unification platform, but became publicly pro-Chinese Communist Party after his crushing defeat.[1][2]

Chou died at the Taipei City Hospital Zhongxing Branch on 16 June 2021, aged 77, from COVID-19.[3] His wife Lin Ming-mei was charged with violations of the Anti-Infiltration Act in July 2022, following an investigation into the PAA led by the Taipei District Prosecutors' Office. Prosecutors stated that Chou would not be posthumously indicted.[4]
