Liu Shyh-fang[1] (or Liu Shih-fang;[2] Chinese: 劉世芳; pinyin: Liú Shìfāng; born 15 August 1959) is a Taiwanese politician who currently serves as the Minister of the Interior since 2024.

She graduated from the Oklahoma State University and is a member of the Democratic Progressive Party. She was deputy secretary-general of the office of President Chen Shui-bian.[3]

Education

Liu graduated from Tamkang University with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in chemical engineering. She then earned a Master of Science (M.S.) in environmental engineering from Oklahoma State University and an M.B.A. from National Taiwan University.[1][4]

Interior ministry

On 12 April 2024, Liu was appointed to Cho Jung-tai's incoming cabinet as Minister of the Interior.[5]

On 8 January 2026, Liu was sanctioned by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the People's Republic of China as a "diehard "Taiwan independence" separatist" for "blatantly promoting separatist ‘Taiwan independence’ rhetoric", as well as "persecuting mainland spouses in Taiwan and actively creating obstacles to cross-strait personnel exchanges".[6]
