He is the first elected MP born in Mainland China who speaks Mandarin.
According to a Canadian Security Intelligence Service report described by Global News intelligence sources, Tan was prepared to accept a 2018 invitation to travel to Taiwan, but was persuaded not to do so by Liberal MPPs Michael Chan and Han Dong.
In December 2018, Tan announced that he would be seeking re-election in the 2019 Canadian federal election.
