Chuan-Chia Wang has played for Taiwan in international competitions as both a pitcher and hitter. He has hit .300 or better six times.

Wang played in the 1988 World Junior Championship. In the 1990 Baseball World Cup, he allowed 5 hits and 3 runs in 3 innings pitched. He debuted in the Chinese Professional Baseball League in 1993, going 1-1 with a 6.49 ERA. In 1994, he had a 0-1, 5.25 record, registering his last decision on the mound (he would make brief appearances as a pitcher in 1996, 1997 and 2000). That season, Wang was converted to the outfield and he showed the move was a good one by hitting .328/.368/.455 for the Jungo Bears. In 1995, he hit .272/.365/.395, followed by a .328/.402/.505 batting line in 1996 after joining the Sinon Bulls. In '97, Chuan-Chia batted .300/.401/.431 for the Bulls and in 1998 he batted .278/.359/.395.

In 1999, Wang moved to the Uni-President Lions and hit .237/.332/.347 in an off-year. He rebounded in 2000 to bat .272/.384/.357, then hit .301/.383/.399 in 2001. He played for Taiwan in the 2001 Baseball World Cup as their main DH and went 8 for 22 with 3 walks and 2 homers. He made the tournament All-Star team at DH, beating out players like Adam Burton, Hae-young Ma, Marty Malloy and Jennry Roa.

Wang hit .315/.399/.431 in 2002. He played in the 2002 Asian Games and 2003 Asian Championship. His batting line read .266/.370/.388 in 2003. In 2004, Chuan-Chia batted .268/.357/.391; in 2005, his 7th season with the Lions, he batted .208/.319/.333.

Wang hit .282/.340/.408 for the Macoto Cobras, his 4th CPBL team. He was Taiwan's first baseman in the 2006 Intercontinental Cup but only went 3 for 24 with 3 walks and a homer. He also played in the 2006 Asian Games. In the 2007 CPBL, Wang hit .297/.374/.429 while playing first base for Macoto instead of his usual outfield. The team became the dMedia T-Rex in 2008 and he batted .301/.357/.405 for his 6th .300 season, but first in six years.

After the T-Rex folded in a gambling scandal, Wang was not picked in the redistribution draft. He was a late addition to the provisional Taiwan roster for the 2009 World Baseball Classic, after Fu-Hao Liu opted not to play.
