Wenn ihr schon mal eines über chinesische Philosophie gehört habt, dann vielleicht das: Ein Mann träumt, dass er ein Schmetterling ist. Kann er nach dem Aufwachen sicher sein, dass er jetzt gerade nicht wirklich dieser Schmetterling ist, der nur träumt, ein Mann zu sein? Der Schmetterlings-Traum ist die bekannteste Episode aus dem Hauptwerk von Zhuangzi. Und das "Zhuangzi" ist nicht nur philosophisch, sondern auch literarisch ein absoluter Meilenstein der chinesischen Kulturgeschichte. In unserer vorletzten Folge zu antiker chinesischer Philosophie spricht Christian mit dem Sinologen und Philosophen Fabian Heubel über Zhuangzi, der neben Laozi als zweiter großer Daoist gilt, den Heubel aber eher als kritischen Konfuzianer bezeichnen würde. Fabian Heubel forscht als Research Fellow am Institute of Chinese Literature and Philosophy der Academia Sinica in Taipei und lehrt am Institut für Philosophie der Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt am Main.

On behalf of Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Region and its National Security Task Force the Hoover Institution held a Taiwan Roundtable Discussion on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, from 5:00 - 6:00 pm PT. Taiwan is facing a potential constitutional crisis. In December 2024, Taiwan's opposition-controlled legislature voted to impose a 2/3 supermajority quorum for the Constitutional Court to hear new cases. The legislature then voted down all the new nominees to the Court, leaving it with only 8 of members and unable to meet the new quorum requirement. The government has appealed to the Court to meet anyway and rule that the new amendments are unconstitutional. In this discussion, three experts on Taiwan's politics and judicial system discuss the factors leading up to this confrontation, the options facing the court, and the potential for deeper reforms to strengthen judicial independence in the face of a deepening confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties.

In dieser Episode werfen wir einen Blick auf die geopolitischenEntwicklungen rund um China, sowohl aus westlicher als auch aus chinesischer Perspektive. Wie nimmt China seine Rolle in einer sich verändernden Weltordnung wahr? Wir beleuchten, wie China nicht nur militärische „Hardpower“ einsetzt,sondern auch mit „Softpower“ – durch wirtschaftliche Initiativen wie die „Belt and Road Initiative“ (1B1R) – globalen Einfluss gewinnt. Welche Auswirkungen hat dies auf Afrika und andere Regionen, die die Lücken westlicher Hilfe wie USAID füllen? Und wie sieht China selbst seine geopolitischen Ziele?Ein wichtiger Teil der Diskussion ist auch, wie sich die Beziehungen zwischen Europa und China entwickeln. Was bedeutet die Entfremdung zwischen den USA und dem Westen für das Verhältnis Europas und China? Welche wirtschaftlichen, politischen und gesellschaftlichen Prioritäten haben die Menschen in China, und wie sehen sie die EU und die USA? Dabei gehen wir auch auf die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven zu Menschenrechten, sozialer Gerechtigkeit und wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung ein.Abschließend betrachten wir die Frage, wie Europa mit China umgehen sollte – pragmatisch und strategisch, um einelangfristige Partnerschaft zu fördern und dabei die eigene Autonomie zu wahren. Ziel ist es, ein differenziertes Bild von China zu zeichnen, das über die Mainstream-Narrative hinausgeht und auch die Perspektive der Menschen in Chinaeinbezieht.Gäste:Thomas Eder ist Post-Doc Researcher am Österreichischen Institut für Internationale Politik (ÖIIP).

Taiwanese-Language Cinema: Rediscovered and Reconsidered (Edinburgh UP, 2024), edited by Chris Berry, Wafa Ghermani, Corrado Neri, and Ming-yeh T. Rawnsley, is a landmark contribution to studying Taiwanese cinema. The book revisits Taiyupian, a thriving yet overlooked segment of Taiwan's cinematic history produced between the 1950s and 1970s in the Minnanhua dialect commonly used by the local Hoklo. This volume arrives at a pivotal moment when many of these films are being restored, subtitled, and critically revisited. By bringing together essays from Taiwanese and non-Taiwanese scholars, the book offers a robust framework for understanding Taiyupian's cultural, social, and industrial dimensions. It challenges the traditional dominance of Mandarin and Japanese influences in Taiwan's cinematic narrative, advocating for a broader, more inclusive history. The editors skilfully blend historical analysis with cultural theory, offering insights into the socio-political context that gave rise to these films and their eventual decline. The inclusion of translated Taiwanese scholarship is particularly commendable, as it ensures a dialogue between local and global perspectives. Reading this book is an eye-opening experience, especially for those unfamiliar with Taiyupian's rich legacy. The book effectively positions these films not as relics but as dynamic cultural artefacts that continue to shape Taiwan's cinematic and cultural identity. The writing, while scholarly, is engaging, particularly in chapters that explore Taiyupian's aesthetic and emotional resonance. The visuals and archival materials referenced throughout enhance its value as a resource for both academic and personal exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in Taiwanese cinema, East Asian cultural studies, or the intersection of language and identity in film. Its insights resonate far beyond the specific era it examines, offering a model for how neglected histories can be rediscovered and celebrated. Dr Ming-Yeh Tsai Rawnsley is a Taiwanese media scholar, writer, and former journalist and TV screenwriter. Since 2013, she has been a Research Associate at the Centre of Taiwan Studies, SOAS University of London. She is also a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the China Policy Institute, University of Nottingham (2014–present), a Research Fellow at the European Research Centre on Contemporary Taiwan (ERCCT), University of Tübingen (2015–present), and Research Associate at Academia Sinica, Taiwan (2018–present).

Listen to this interview of Anthony Anjorin, a lead software architect at Zühlke Engineering, Germany; and also, Hsiang-Shang Ko, assistant research fellow, Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan. We talk about their paper Benchmarking bidirectional transformations: Theory, implementation, application, and assessment (Software and Systems Modeling). Anthony Anjorin : "I really believe in the method called peer instruction in teaching. The basic idea is that experts, who deal with focused topics over long periods, are not necessarily best suited to explaining a thing simply and in just a few sentences. So, in this paper, we took this method into the drafting process. The first three coauthors did nearly all of the writing, while the other six coauthors provided their solutions — which, of course, was crucial, so that we could claim that each solution was provided by an expert person in that area. But nonetheless, it remained for the first three coauthors to do the writing, and that meant, they interviewed the experts and discussed with them so as to become able to write about those solutions themselves — even though they are non-experts. Then, in final round of revision, the solution experts reviewed the texts, providing the writers with the feedback, the comments, and the recommendations they needed to revise the text and make it final."

Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 19-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 17,401 on turnover of 2.4-billion N-T. The market closed slightly lower on Monday as the bellwether electronics sector lost ground on the back of growing concerns the U-S will tighten controls on chip sales to China. Despite the slump in investor interest in the bellwether electronics sector, the transportation sector, in particular bulk cargo shippers, trended higher, due to increasing freight rates, which lent some support to the broader market. ---- AIT Head Stresses Need to Combat Election Disinformation American Institute in Taiwan Director Sandra Oudkirk is stressing that Washington and Taipei are "on the frontlines" as they seek to tackle the spread of disinformation. Speaking at the National Taiwan University, where she delivered her End-of-Year policy address, Oudkirk said both sides are working closely to combat online information manipulation, as such threats are especially worrisome in the context of democratic elections. Oudkirk also said Washington and Taipei and other democratic partners recently participated in the Global Declaration on International Information Integrity Online and that declaration has now been joined by more than 30 countries. The declaration was launched by Canada and Netherlands in September. ---- Academia Sinica scholar Awarded Germany's Humboldt Research Award A distinguished research fellow at Academia Sinica has been awarded the 2023 Humboldt Research Award by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany. Wang Fan-sen, of the Institute of History and Philology, received the award in recognition of his achievements and impact on historical scholarship. Along with being a research fellow at Academia Sinica, Wang also currently serves as chair professor at the National Cheng Kung University, National Chengchi University, the National Taiwan Normal University and the National Sun Yat-sen University. The Humboldt prize is for internationally renowned scientists and scholars who work outside of Germany in recognition of their lifetime's research achievements. ---- Putin Plans to Visit the UAE and Saudi Arabia Russian media outlets are reporting that President Vladimir Putin plans to visit the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia this week. Russian state news agencies say that Putin will travel to the two countries for a working visit, during which he will meet the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman. The U-A-E is currently hosting the United Nations Climate Change Conference. However, it's unclear whether Putin will attend the conference. Putin currently risks arrest if he leaves Russia after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him in March for war crimes, accusing him of personal responsibility for the abductions of children from Ukraine. ---- UN Concerned about Rohingya Muslims aboard Two Boats The United Nations refugee agency is raising the alarm for an estimated 400 Rohingya Muslims believed to be aboard two boats reported to be out of supplies and adrift in the Andaman Sea. The agency is worried that all those aboard could die without efforts to rescue them. The captain of one of the boats says he had 180 to 190 people on board and that the engine was damaged. There is a seasonal exodus of Rohingyas, usually coming from overcrowded refugee camps in Bangladesh. About 740,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled Myanmar to Bangladesh since 2017 after a brutal counterinsurgency campaign. ---- CBC to Cut 600 Jobs And Canada's public broadcaster says it will cut 600 jobs and reduce its English and French programming budgets. The move comes as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is struggling with monetary pressures. The bulk of the layoffs will come from corporate divisions such as technology and infrastructure. The broadcaster says it has also identified 200 vacancies that will go unfilled as it contends with 125-million Canadian dollars in budget pressures. Along with the job cuts, C-B-C will be reducing its English and French programming budgets, resulting in fewer renewals and acquisitions, fewer new television series and less episodes of existing shows.

Taiwan has been depicted as an island facing the incessant threat of forcible unification with the People's Republic of China. Why, then, has Taiwan spent more than three decades pouring capital and talent into China? In Rival Partners: How Taiwanese Entrepreneurs and Guangdong Officials Forged the China Development Model (Harvard UP, 2022), Wu Jieh-min follows the development of Taiwanese enterprises in China over twenty-five years and provides fresh insights. The geopolitical shift in Asia beginning in the 1970s and the global restructuring of value chains since the 1980s created strong incentives for Taiwanese entrepreneurs to rush into China despite high political risks and insecure property rights. Taiwanese investment, in conjunction with Hong Kong capital, laid the foundation for the world's factory to flourish in the southern province of Guangdong, but official Chinese narratives play down Taiwan's vital contribution. It is hard to imagine the Guangdong model without Taiwanese investment, and, without the Guangdong model, China's rise could not have occurred. Going beyond the received wisdom of the “China miracle” and “Taiwan factor,” Wu delineates how Taiwanese businesspeople, with the cooperation of local officials, ushered global capitalism into China. By partnering with its political archrival, Taiwan has benefited enormously, while helping to cultivate an economic superpower that increasingly exerts its influence around the world. This book is the winner of 2023 Global and Transnational Sociology Best Publication (Book) by an International Scholar Award, the American Sociological Association, 國科會111年度(2022) 傑出研究獎, 2020年第九屆中央研究院人文及社會科學學術性專書獎, 科技部2020最具影響 力研究專書(人文及社會科學領域), 2019年孫運璿學術獎最佳書籍.

Taiwan has been depicted as an island facing the incessant threat of forcible unification with the People's Republic of China. Why, then, has Taiwan spent more than three decades pouring capital and talent into China? In Rival Partners: How Taiwanese Entrepreneurs and Guangdong Officials Forged the China Development Model (Harvard UP, 2022), Wu Jieh-min follows the development of Taiwanese enterprises in China over twenty-five years and provides fresh insights. The geopolitical shift in Asia beginning in the 1970s and the global restructuring of value chains since the 1980s created strong incentives for Taiwanese entrepreneurs to rush into China despite high political risks and insecure property rights. Taiwanese investment, in conjunction with Hong Kong capital, laid the foundation for the world's factory to flourish in the southern province of Guangdong, but official Chinese narratives play down Taiwan's vital contribution. It is hard to imagine the Guangdong model without Taiwanese investment, and, without the Guangdong model, China's rise could not have occurred. Going beyond the received wisdom of the “China miracle” and “Taiwan factor,” Wu delineates how Taiwanese businesspeople, with the cooperation of local officials, ushered global capitalism into China. By partnering with its political archrival, Taiwan has benefited enormously, while helping to cultivate an economic superpower that increasingly exerts its influence around the world.

Hoy vamos a hablar del artículo The Collapse of Mercantilism: Anglo-Hispanic Trans-Pacific Ventures in Asia at the End of the Spanish Empire (1815–30), La caída del mercantilismo: iniciativas anglo-hispánicas transpacíficas en Asia durante el fin del Imperio Español (1815-1830), que es parte del Special Issue Vol. 8 No. 1 (2023): Global Merchants in Spanish America: Business, Networks and Independence (1800-1830). Resumen: Los contactos entre ambos lados del Pacífico del Imperio español, durante la edad moderna, han sido estudiados con anterioridad y, a pesar de ello, son escasos los análisis sobre los desarrollos posteriores, durante las últimas décadas del siglo XVIII y las primeras del XIX. Esto afecta en particular al estudio de las consecuencias de los desarrollos comerciales al final del Galeón de Manila y a la caída del Imperio Español en América. A través del análisis de las redes profesionales de Francisco Xavier de Ezpeleta y Juan Nepomuceno Machado, que abarcaban de Asia a México en ese período, este artículo propone algunas conclusiones preliminares sobre los vínculos transpacíficos. El estudio se focaliza en redes y conexiones, y se basa en fuentes de archivo, sobre todo del Jardine Matheson Archive de Cambridge. En el tránsito del siglo XVIII al XIX, los protagonistas de la construcción de las redes comerciales hispánicas en lo que quedaba del Imperio Español se reorganizaron para aprovechar las oportunidades aparecidas con el fin de las limitaciones mercantilistas. Al hacerlo, en los años de la década de 1820, los comerciantes hispánicos se aliaron con los precursores de la firma británica de Jardine, Matheson & Co., y controlaron las redes resultantes. De este modo, este artículo analiza las conexiones trans-Pacíficas hispánicas durante la expansión del comercio privado europeo entre Asia oriental y el Pacífico mexicano. Los vínculos entre comerciantes británicos e hispánicos son fundamentales para el análisis del comercio del opio y del imperialismo occidental en Asia oriental, y del desarrollo de la hegemonía comercial británica en América Latina en el siglo XIX. Ander Permanyer Ugartemendia, doctor en Historia por la Universitat Pompeu Fabra, y licenciado en Estudios de Asia oriental por la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Está especializado en el estudio del comercio español en Asia en el tránsito entre los siglos XVIII y XIX, y en el del opio en particular. Ha sido investigador visitante en el Departamento de Historia de la University of Chicago, en el Instituto de Historia Contemporánea (Academia Sinica, Taiwán), y en la John Carter Brown Library, Brown University (Providence, Estados Unidos). Ha sido becario de la Fundación Chiang Ching-kuo, y ha recibido el XXVII Premio Ramón Carande de la Asociación Española de Historia Económica.

In his speech, he emphasized the importance of running, not walking, towards their goals. Huang compared pursuing dreams to running for food or running to avoid becoming prey, highlighting the urgency and dedication required to succeed. 自從COVID-19大流行以來，幾所台灣重要的大學首次舉行了現場的畢業典禮，Nvidia的共同創辦人兼首席執行官黃仁勳在其中一場典禮上鼓勵國立台灣大學的畢業生積極追尋夢想。他在演講中強調了為實現目標奔跑而不是行走的重要性。黃先生將追求夢想比喻為奔跑覓食或逃避成為獵物，突顯了成功所需的迫切性和奉獻精神。 Other notable tech executives also addressed graduating students at various Taiwanese universities. National Chengchi University held two ceremonies, featuring Patrick Pan, an alumnus and the head of Taiwan and Hong Kong operations at Meta (owner of Facebook), and Tung Tzu-hsien, the chairman of Pegatron. At National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST), the CEO of TUL Corp, Ted Chen, who is also an alumnus, delivered the commencement speech. Chen encouraged graduates to maintain an optimistic mindset and approach challenges with calmness. 其他知名的科技公司高層也在台灣各大學的畢業典禮上向畢業生發表了演講。國立政治大學舉行了兩場典禮，分別邀請了校友：Facebook母公司Meta在台灣和香港業務的負責人潘先國，以及和碩聯合科技董事長童子賢。國立臺灣科技大學則請到該校校友的撼訊科技總經理陳劍威發表畢業典禮演講。陳先生鼓勵畢業生保持樂觀的心態，冷靜的面對挑戰。 While many universities invited speakers from the tech industry, National Taiwan Normal University chose Academia Sinica's Lee Fong-mao, a Taoist, to deliver the commencement speech. Lee encouraged the graduating students, totaling 4,469, to fearlessly pursue unconventional or unpopular subjects and themes if they plan to pursue careers in academics. He emphasized that through dedication and passion, individuals can shape their lives in unique ways. 儘管許多大學邀請了科技業的嘉賓演講，國立台灣師範大學則選擇了中央研究院的道教研究院士李豐楙作為畢業演講嘉賓。李先生鼓勵這4469名畢業生在追求學術事業時勇敢地追求非傳統或不受歡迎的主題和題材。他強調，通過奉獻和熱情，個人可以以獨特的方式塑造自己的生活。 At National Chi Nan University, Hsieh Hsiang-tang, a student of Rukai descent, incorporated a quote from Rukai writer Avuinni Kadreseng in her graduation speech. Hsieh expressed that enduring discomfort often leads to the discovery of valuable principles. She encouraged her fellow graduates to embrace challenges and strive for success, while respecting traditional wisdom and utilizing modern technology to strengthen their connection with the land. 在國立暨南國際大學，畢業生謝享唐引用了魯凱族作家Avuinni Kadreseng的一句話作為她的畢業演講。謝同學表示，忍受不適往往導致發現有價值的原則。她鼓勵同學們接受挑戰，努力追求成功，同時尊重傳統智慧，利用現代科技來加強他們與土地的聯繫。 Reference article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2023/05/28/2003800556 Powered by Firstory Hosting

The Pacific Rim of Asia – Pacific Asia – is now the world's largest and most cohesive economic region, and China has returned to its center. In this conversation, Julie Yu-Wen Chen, Professor of Chinese Studies at the University of Helsinki discusses with Brantly Womack from the University of Virginia about his new book Recentering Pacific Asia: Regional China and World Order (Cambridge University Press, 2023). China's global outlook is shaped by its regional experience, first as a pre-modern Asian center, then displaced by Western-oriented modernization, and now returning as a central producer and market in a globalized region. Developments since 2008 have been so rapid that future directions are uncertain, but China's presence, population, and production guarantee it a key role. As a global competitor, China has awakened American anxieties and the US-China rivalry has become a major concern for the rest of the world. However, rather than facing a power transition between hegemons, the US and China are primary nodes in a multi-layered, interconnected global matrix that neither can control. Brantly Womack argues that Pacific Asia is now the key venue for working out a new world order. Recentering Pacific Asia: Regional China and World Order is written by Brantly Womack. The book contains commentaries from Wang Gungwu (National University of Singapore), Wu Yu-shan (Academia Sinica), Qin Yaqing (China Foreign Affairs University), and Evelyn Goh (Australian National University). Julie Yu-Wen Chen is Professor of Chinese Studies at the Department of Cultures at the University of Helsinki (Finland). From 2023-2025, Julie Yu-Wen Chen is in the EU twinning project The EU in the Volatile Indo-Pacific Region (EUVIP) where she leads the preparatory research and provides supervision and counselling to junior researchers.

China's global outlook is shaped by its regional experience, first as a pre-modern Asian center, then displaced by Western-oriented modernization, and now returning as a central producer and market in a globalized region. Developments since 2008 have been so rapid that future directions are uncertain, but China's presence, population, and production guarantee it a key role. As a global competitor, China has awakened American anxieties and the US-China rivalry has become a major concern for the rest of the world. However, rather than facing a power transition between hegemons, the US and China are primary nodes in a multi-layered, interconnected global matrix that neither can control. Brantly Womack argues that Pacific Asia is now the key venue for working out a new world order. Recentering Pacific Asia: Regional China and World Order is written by Brantly Womack. The book contains commentaries from Wang Gungwu (National University of Singapore), Wu Yu-shan (Academia Sinica), Qin Yaqing (China Foreign Affairs University), and Evelyn Goh (Australian National University). Julie Yu-Wen Chen is Professor of Chinese Studies at the Department of Cultures at the University of Helsinki (Finland). From 2023-2025, Julie Yu-Wen Chen is in the EU twinning project The EU in the Volatile Indo-Pacific Region (EUVIP) where she leads the preparatory research and provides supervision and counselling to junior researchers. Brantly Womack is on the international advisory board of EUVIP.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   In mid-June I spoke with Michelle Kuo and Albert Wu about their weekly newsletter, A Broad and Ample Road. They began writing it in 2020 as a way to keep in touch with people during the pandemic.   We also spoke about the shooting at the Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian church in Laguna Woods which had happened a month before on May 15th. We discussed how the shooting sparked debate on the shooter's identity as Taiwanese or Chinese, and the terms benshengren (本省人) and waishengren (外省人) which are commonly used in Taiwan to differentiate people. Michelle reflected on how the close-knit nature of the Taiwanese community in Laguna. Her parents live five minutes from the church and knew members of the Taiwanese community in Laguna Woods. Albert shared why he felt that in a different life the shooter could have been one of his uncles.   Michelle Kuo is a social activist, lawyer, teacher, and writer. She is an associate professor at the American University of Paris in History, Law, and Society and a visiting associate professor at National Taiwan University.   Albert Wu is a historian and an associate research fellow at the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica.   This episode of Talking Taiwan has been sponsored by NATWA, the North America Taiwanese Women's Association.   NATWA was founded in 1988, and its mission is:   to evoke a sense of self-esteem and enhance women's dignity, to oppose gender discrimination and promote gender equality, to fully develop women's potential and encourage their participation in public affairs, to contribute to the advancement of human rights and democratic development in Taiwan, to reach out and work with women's organizations worldwide to promote peace for all.   To learn more about NATWA visit their website: www.natwa.com   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   Why Michelle and Albert named their newsletter A Broad and Ample Road Why Michelle and Albert started their newsletter The piece that Michelle and Albert wrote about how Taiwan's pro-China media depicts Ukraine and Russia How Michelle thinks that writing doesn't have to be a solidary activity How Michelle and Albert decide what to write together How Michelle and Albert write together What Michelle and Albert's writing process is How Michelle and Albert deal with disagreements in the writing process How often the newsletter is published One of the most enjoyable things about writing the newsletter How the newsletter had connected them with a variety of people who can relate to the things Michelle and Albert write about Michelle's piece about moving to Taiwan Michelle and Albert have envisioned the newsletter being bilingual and through a grant from Substack have been able to work with translators Michelle's book Reading With Patrickhas been translated into Chinese The shooting at Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in May Divisions between the different groups of people who identify as Taiwanese and Chinese in Taiwan The terms benshengren (本省人) and waishengren (外省人) The Chinese character for sheng (省) means province which is how Taiwan was referred to under the Republic of China initially until constitutional amendments were made The term the “49ers” which refers to the Chinese that fled China with the with the Kuomintang to Taiwan in 1949 How the gunman of the shooting at Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church was a son of waishengren Albert and Michelle's experiences growing up a family that was a mix of bengshengren and waishengren The discrimination that Albert's waishengren uncles experienced in Taiwan How Michelle was raised by her parents to identify as Chinese American The debate over whether to call the gunman Taiwanese or Chinese The idea that the term Taiwanese can be inclusive, multicultural The waishengren identity as victim vs. privileged The variety of reactions to the Taiwanese Presbyterian Church shooting Michelle's parents' connection to the members of the Taiwanese Presbyterian Church How members of the Taiwanese community in Laguna Woods coexist and interact despite their differences in political opinions How the circumstances of the shooter David Chou's life were unraveling What makes someone become a killer or a hero The types of communities that could contribute to making people in to heroes or killers The brutal impact of authoritarian regimes on all members of its society Activists in the opposition (dangwai) movement have included waishengren, aboriginal, Hakka and other groups   Related Links:

As democratic support for Taiwan increases, so has Beijing's message to the world about its “One China principle” and the myth of a global consensus regarding the sovereignty of Taiwan. The truth is, every country - including Taiwan - has its own “One China policy”. And that policy (according to each country) is not the same as the principle (according to the PRC).It can be confusing. In a fight about international discourse on Taiwan, Beijing's diplomats and ambassadors are proactively trying to confuse the world. And this confusion is increasingly challenging for Taiwan's participation in global affairs and organizations. It's also challenging for different countries' own One China policy. Beijing insists that its “principle” should be adhered to by every country in the world. The end goal is for the world to confuse Beijing's' “principle” with an actual international law. The PRC would later use international law to say: exactly, this is our internal affairs and we can do whatever we want to do. No such international law exists. The UN resolution 2758 doesn't say that Taiwan is a part of China (despite what China says in its recent white paper.) The One China principle is PRC's principle only - not international law. And each country has (and should) clarify their own positions on Taiwan's sovereignty. China's “trying to say to the international society, to create a confusion that Taiwan belongs to China. So when China either sends out military aircrafts or flight jets around Taiwan, it's China's international affairs that other countries should not interfere with,” says Dr. Chen Yu-Jie. Dr. CHEN offers a solution. It's very important that all countries, including Taiwan, that don't agree with the One China principle to speak up, says Dr. Chen. “It's important that countries should voice out their different opinions, because international law depends on international practice. So if countries don't object to something that's being said, in the long run when it becomes a practice it might become a norm.” Our guest today is Yu-Jie CHEN, a key legal expert on international law and diplomacy in the context of China-Taiwan relations. CHEN has a JSD from the New York University School of Law. She is an assistant research professor at Taiwan's prestigious Academia Sinica. In addition to publishing and academic journals in the US, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the UK, CHEN also writes op-eds and takes part in public facing discussions.  Articles mentioned in this episode include:  “I'm Taiwanese and I Want to Thank Nancy Pelosi”, op-ed by Yu-Jie CHEN (New York Times, August 5, 2022): https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/05/opinion/taiwan-china-pelosi-democracy.html““One China” Contention in China–Taiwan Relations: Law, Politics and Identity”, scholarly paper by Yu-Jie CHEN (China Quarterly, September 27, 2022): https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/china-quarterly/article/abs/one-china-contention-in-chinataiwan-relations-law-politics-and-identity/3D4369ACBC0E9062F2FB9462D8961763#“China Is Using a UN Resolution to Further Its Claim Over Taiwan” by Madoka Fukuda (The Diplomat, August 26. 2022): https://thediplomat.com/2022/08/china-is-using-a-un-resolution-to-further-its-claim-over-taiwan/China white paper on Taiwan: https://english.news.cn/20220810/df9d3b8702154b34bbf1d451b99bf64a/c.htmlToday's host is JR Wu, a former journalist with two decades of media experience in the US and Asia.

The ocean temperature is rising, and that's killing corals. But scientists are finding out that some corals can resist climate change. So if we wanted to make sure that at least some corals survive in the future, which species should we save?  We are at a coral lab to speak to Shashank Keshavmurthy at the Biodiversity Research Center at Academia Sinica in Taiwan. He's setting up an experiment to stress test corals in a lab, and trying to figure out how resilient corals can be to temperature changes.  Welcome to Waste Not Why Not, a climate podcast from Ghost Island Media.

In this episode, I talk to two of the editors of Reorienting Hong Kong's Resistance: Leftism, Decoloniality, and Internationalism (Palgrave MacMillan, 2022), Ellie Tse and JN Chien about this timely and important volume. The book brings together writing from activists and scholars that examine leftist and decolonial forms of resistance that have emerged from Hong Kong's contemporary era of protests. Practices such as labor unionism, police abolition, land justice struggles, and other radical expressions of self-governance may not explicitly operate under the banners of leftism and decoloniality. Nevertheless, examining them within these frameworks uncovers historical, transnational, and prefigurative sightlines that can help to contextualize and interpret their impact for Hong Kong's political future. This collection offers insights not only into Hong Kong's local struggles, but their interconnectedness with global movements as the city remains on the frontlines of international politics. Wen Liu is assistant research fellow at the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, in Taiwan. She received her Ph.D. from Critical Social Psychology at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. Broadly interested in issues of race, sexuality, and affect, she has published in journals such as American Quarterly, Feminism & Psychology, Journal of Asian American Studies, and Subjectivity. JN Chien is a Ph.D. candidate in American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California researching US-Hong Kong integration in the Cold War transpacific through economic history, labor, migration, and detention in the shadow of multiple imperialisms. His writing has been published in Hong Kong Studies, The Nation, Jacobin, and Lausan. Christina Chung is a Ph.D. candidate researching the intersections of decolonial feminism and Hong Kong contemporary art at the University of Washington, Seattle. Her writing has been published by Asia Art Archive, College Arts Association Reviews, and in the anthology: Creating Across Cultures: Women in the Arts from China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (East Slope Publishing, 2017). Ellie Tse is a Ph.D. student in Cultural and Comparative Studies at the Department of Asian Languages & Cultures at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her research addresses the aftermath of inter-imperial encounters via visual, spatial and architectural practices across the Sinophone Pacific with a focus on Hong Kong.

On January 20, 2022, a federal court in Boston dismissed charges against Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineering professor Gang Chen, who had been accused of concealing his affiliations with Chinese government institutions. The dropping of all charges against Dr. Chen was a major setback for the China Initiative, a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) program meant to combat economic espionage and intellectual property theft conducted by the Chinese government. Some argue that the DOJ's efforts to counter Chinese national security threats led to racial profiling and created a climate of fear among academics and researchers of Chinese descent in the United States. On February 23, 2022, the DOJ announced that it had terminated the China Initiative. In an interview conducted on April 13, 2022, Professor Gang Chen talks about his case and his reaction to the end of the China Initiative, what it means to him and the broader scientific community. Gang Chen is the Carl Richard Soderberg Professor of power engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He served as the head of the MIT department of mechanical engineering from 2013 to 2018. His research interests center on nanoscale thermal transport and energy conversion phenomena and their applications in energy storage and conversion, thermal management, and water treatment and desalination. He has received numerous awards, including the National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, an American Society of Mechanical Engineers' (ASME) Heat Transfer Memorial Award, an ASME Frank Kreith Award in Energy, and a Nukiyama Memorial Award by the Japan Heat Transfer Society, among others. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Physical Society, the ASME, and the Guggenheim Foundation. He is an academician of Academia Sinica, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the U.S. National Academy of Engineering.
