Hsu Kuo-tai (Chinese: 許國泰) is a Taiwanese politician. A member of the Democratic Progressive Party, he served three consecutive terms on the Legislative Yuan from 1987 to 1996. He and his older brother Hsu Hsin-liang were raised by a family of farmers. Hsu Kuo-tai ran for a seat on the Legislative Yuan in December 1983, but split the vote with another tangwai candidate, Chang Teh-ming, and neither was elected. Hsu was named a Democratic Progressive Party legislative candidate on the day of its establishment in 1986. Later that year, he led a demonstration at Chiang Kai-shek International Airport in support of his brother, who had attempted to return to Taiwan that December, having left the country for the United States in 1979, and actively opposed the Kuomintang government in his time ove
