| Dec 18, 2023 at 15:00 | comment | added | whoisit | @SpehroPefhany If you have such examples, write an answer and add that due to the large populations they should be considered notable politicians. I mainly just wanted to exclude random "small" politicians with hardly any influence outside their constituency. | |

The motivations for not voting for an ethnic Chinese politicians may very well be very different between the 2 in Western countries. Might be good to put in answers as well. Interesting Q though, Indian-origin politicians are becoming the norm in many Western countries (Canada has numerous examples, Ireland, UK, USA...), Chinese-origin seem comparably absent. | |

| Dec 17, 2023 at 9:43 | comment | added | James K | The phrasing of the question excludes Parliamentary systems. There are no UK politicians with "popular support across a wider region", including the Prime Minister. It would also seem to exclude people like Elaine Chao, even though she held a Cabinet level post (as such posts are not elected in the US) | |
