He was currently the Deputy Speaker ofLegislative Yuan, having served in this role from 1 February 2016 until 1 February 2024.[1][2]

An agreement for him to become Commissioner of Taiwan'sChinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) was reached in December 2020 as the previous Commissioner's term was ending,[4] and he was formally elected to the post on 19 January 2021,[5] succeedingJohn Wu.[6]
Tsai Chi-chang became the commissioner for Taiwan'sCPBL in January 2021.[7][8][9] During his first year as Commissioner, he further expanded CPBL from five teams to six teams, with the addition of Taiwan Steel Group.[10]
On 17 August 2022, in the aftermath of thenSpeaker of the United States House of RepresentativesNancy Pelosi'svisit to Taiwan on 2–3 August, China blacklisted seven Taiwanese officials including Tsai due to their alleged support forTaiwanese independence. The blacklist bans them from enteringmainland China and theSpecial Administrative Regions ofHong Kong andMacau, and restricts them from working with Chinese officials. Chinese state-run tabloidGlobal Times labelled Tsai and the six officials as "diehard secessionists".[11]
