Wang joined the Kuomintang in 1965, and left for the People First Party shortly after its establishment in 2000.[3] As a legislator, he maintained an interest in the military and defense.[4][5][6][7] Wang did not receive a legislative nomination from the People First Party in 2001,[8][9] and launched an independent campaign to represent Kaohsiung's first district.[10] In November 2001, Wang was one of four legislative candidates indicted on charges of vote buying.[11][12] Of those four candidates, Wang, Hsiao-Chin-lan, and Chuan Wen-sheng lost, while Hsu Chih-ming retained his seat.[13] After stepping down from the legislature, Wang returned to the Kuomintang.[14]
