While other ancient nonalphabetic scripts—Sumerian cuneiform, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Mayan hieroglyphs—are long extinct, Chinese characters, invented over three thousand years ago, are today used by well over a billion people to write Chinese and Japanese. In medieval East Asia, the written Classical Chinese language knit the region together in a common intellectual enterprise that encompassed religion, philosophy, historiography, political theory, art, and literature. Literacy in Classical Chinese set the stage for the adaptation of Chinese characters into ways of writing non-Chinese languages like Vietnamese and Korean, which differ dramatically from Chinese in vocabularies and grammatical structures.Because of its unique status in the modern world, myths and misunderstandings about Chinese characters abound. Where does this writing system, so different in form and function from alphabetic writing, come from? How does it really work? How did it come to be used to write non-Chinese languages? And why has it proven so resilient? By exploring the spread and adaptation of the script across two millennia and thousands of miles, Chinese Characters across Asia: How the Chinese Script Came to Write Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese (University of Washington Press, 2025) by Dr. Zev Handel addresses these questions and provides insights into human cognition and culture. Written in an approachable style and meant for readers with no prior knowledge of Chinese script or Asian languages, it presents a fascinating story that challenges assumptions about speech and writing. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The weather has been warming up and spring is getting closer. Planting a tree improperly, especially burying the root flare too dee or planting in a hole that’s too small, can lead to the tree’s death or stunted growth. Erica Jo Shaffer shared a breakdown of the common pitfalls to avoid when planting a tree. Asia: Okay, so let's start at the very beginning. What are some of the common mistakes that people make when it comes to choosing a tree? Erica Jo: Well, I think the first thing you need to do is look at where you're going to plant the tree before you even get in your car and drive to a garden center, because you might wander around. I remember people would come in and say, I want a dogwood, because they know that word, but then they're gonna plant it in full screaming sun and it's not gonna do well. So looking around your property and deciding where you're gonna plant a tree, and not only just looking there, look up. How many trees get like mauled because somebody planted them under a power line? So deciding where you wanna plant the tree and how big the tree should get are your first two things you need to do.? Asia: How do you know that in advance? Because do you know typically how big a tree is going to grow? Erica Jo: See that's the thing you got to work backwards okay I don't know what tree you're gonna get yet but say that you know that the tree is underneath the power line and it's in hot screaming Sun and you want to make sure that you then don't choose a tree that gets over 20 feet tall Wow so then you go to the garden center and be like look this is what I need I need a smaller growing tree that doesn't get over 20 feet tall it's screaming hot Sun I'm I'm probably gonna forget to water it. What do you got? and then have somebody show you what your choices are and then move from there. Listen to the podcast to hear the entire conversation.

How is it that I haven't done an episode about bubble tea? It's surprising that of all the things related to Taiwan, that I've covered on this podcast, I haven't covered this one.  Last year I heard that April 30th was National Bubble Tea Day when I saw a tweet by President Tsai Ing-wen. So I got to work planning to release an episode about bubble tea for this year's April 30th. Related Links: To view all related links for this article, click link below:  https://talkingtaiwan.com/kristen-mccoy-ward-everything-about-bubble-tea-with-the-bobba-queen-ep-238/   I started off speaking to New York-based bubble tea shop veteran Sam Lin who brought the Quickly bubble tea brand from Taiwan to New York. His first Quickly shop was in Flushing near the public library on Kissena. Now he runs 22 Coco bubble tea shops in New York, New Jersey and Boston. Sam's mother is a street vendor in Taiwan selling douhua (a sweet dessert tofu) and Sam grew up eating douhua with tapioca balls long before there was this thing called bubble tea. Sam had some interesting things to say about the origins of bubble tea and who invented it.  As I was getting this episode ready for the end of April, I also spoke to Borcheng Hsu, organizer of the Bubble Tea Festival in New York, who clarified the origins of National Bubble Day.  And finally, I came across a YouTube channel called Bubble Tea Kristin. It's an amazing resource for almost everything related to bubble tea. Kristen has recipes for those wanting to make bubble tea drinks at home. In the past she's owned and run several bubble tea shops and what she does now is help people who dream of opening their own bubble tea shop. I wanted to find out why she's been called the “Boba Queen,” so I looked her up and invited her to be a guest on Talking Taiwan. 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: 1. to evoke a sense of self-esteem and enhance women's dignity, 2. to oppose gender discrimination and promote gender equality, 3. to fully develop women's potential and encourage their participation in public affairs, 4. to contribute to the advancement of human rights and democratic development in Taiwan, 5. 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:                 ·         The origins of bubble tea and who invented it ·         Why National Bubble Tea Day is on April 30th ·         What should New York City celebrate as bubble tea day ·         Kristen the “Boba Queen” ·         Where Kristen's love and interest in bubble tea comes from ·         How she learned about the bubble tea business and opened her own bubble tea shops ·         How she sold her bubble tea business at the beginning of the pandemic and now mentors and helps other people to open bubble tea shops ·         How her past experiences and childhood prepared her for being an entrepreneur and business owner ·         How it's difficult to be profitable in the first year of running a bubble tea shop ·         What it takes to have a successful bubble tea shop ·         How to get the right texture for the tapioca pearls in bubble tea ·         The different types of tapioca pearl balls and toppings ·         How long tapioca pearls last after they are cooked ·         Kristen's visit to Taiwan in 2018 ·         How bubble tea shops are popping up all around the world ·         The different flavors of bubble tea that Kristen created for her shops ·         How bubble tea has evolved over the years since Kristen opened her first bubble tea shop ·         The reactions from people that Kristen has gotten since she is not from Taiwan or Asia ·         How she was once the only white female bubble tea shop owner in the U.K. ·         Any backlash she's experienced as a bubble tea shop owner ·         How Kristen works with her bubble tea shop clients and advises them ·         Her recommendations of what to do in the first year of running a bubble tea shop ·         How the approach of business owners in the U.S. differs from those in the U.K. ·         How the pricing of bubble tea is important ·         How Kristen has helped bubble tea shop owners who have already started their business but run into some problems and need help ·         How Kristen sees her role in the world of bubble tea ·         What Kristen misses about running a tea shop ·         A drink recipe that people can make at home   Related Links: To view all related links for this article, click link below: https://talkingtaiwan.com/kristen-mccoy-ward-everything-about-bubble-tea-with-the-bobba-queen-ep-238/

We are in the 7th month of the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic in Europe.Governments are doing what’s necessary to deal with the situation. More and more governments are initiating strong measures to control the infection rate with SARS-CoV-2. Israel has announced a second lockdown from September 18 for about three weeks.There is a lot of coverage of European measures in the local news. Also, a lot of information is published about actions taken in the United States. I rarely read anything about the situation in Asia. Is life back to normal in Asia? How is the risk assessment of the novel Corona Virus in Asian countries?That‘s why I asked a colleague who lives in Shanghai and is one of the best experts in Life Science and Asia in the world. In this webinar/podcast recording, I will talk with Irénée Robins about these topics. Born in North-Eastern France in 1971, Irénée Robin has been living in China for almost 20 years. Married with three children, genuinely bicultural, he speaks, reads, and writes Mandarin fluently.After ten years in the financial services industry with the BNP Paribas group, Irénée started his life sciences career in 2003 by joining Shanghai Cathay Biotech, where he established his first Sino-foreign joint venture with a major German specialty chemicals conglomerate,leading to the creation of Degussa Cathay Biotechnology in Jining, Shandong Province.From 2006 to 2011, he worked with the Institut Pasteur of Shanghai, an international research venture established by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Shanghai municipal government, and Institut Pasteur. Under his tenure, the institute grew from 40 to 240 researchers, with numerous drug/vaccine discovery programs against life-threatening infectious diseases such as HFMD, HCV, and malaria. His efforts were directed at increasing the institute’s financial resources, notably via expanding CSR programs with multinational corporations and successfully applying to European and international grants.In 2012, as a Senior Representative for the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), he organized the “BIO Convention in China” in Shanghai, facilitating multiple cross-border transactions between Chinese and US biotech/Medtech actors.From 2013 to early 2019, he was the Chief Marketing Officer and Head of International Business for Shanghai Newsummit Biopharma, a subsidiary of Shenzhen-listed Zhejiang Yatai Pharmaceuticals (SHE:002370). During those six years, he attracted more than 30 Western companies onto the Chinese market through a vast array of transaction types, from in-licensing to co-development, distribution, and service agreements. He also established 4 Sino-foreign joint ventures in 4 different Chinese cities, including China’s most advanced molecular pathology and next-gen cancer diagnostics lab (Shanghai German JV partner) and a first-in-class IVD development venture based on patients’ immune status markers, the use of NGS platforms, and targeted data mining/deep learning algorithms (Guangzhou – French JV partner).Speaker:Christian Soschner (https://www.linkedin.com/in/christiansoschner/)Irénée Robin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ireneerobin/)Companies:CS Life Science Invest (https://www.cslifescienceinvest.com/)VVR Medical (https://www.linkedin.com/company/vvr-international/)Be part of our Network:

US and European based agency owners are fightly vigilantly as the coronavirus pandemic unfolds in their region of the world. It’s affecting agencies and their clients in significant ways. I’ve been talking to agency owners non-stop for the last two weeks and one thing is for sure – one agency’s experience is not like another’s. For some, business and AGI has never been better. In others, 50% of their AGI has walked out in less than ten days. I wanted to connect with an agency owner who had already experienced everything we are going through today and could tell us what’s coming next. Kiri Sinclair owns the 50-person PR shop aptly named Sinclair. They’re based in Hong Kong with hubs in several cities in China and they are about three months ahead of us in dealing with the coronavirus. Needless to say, there are some good lessons for us to learn from her experience. Hong Kong and mainland China reacted differently to the initial outbreak than European countries and the US have reacted so our experience may not be perfectly parallel. However, the timeline still provides us with some idea of what to expect moving forward. The good news is – there’s good news. Two and a half months in, client business in Hong Kong has picked up and things are moving back to normal. Every country and every agency is different, but Kiri’s story serves as a beacon of hope and helps us anticipate what is coming next.

Today in the guest chair I have online coach and personal trainer Tameika G. Tameika’s story is far from ordinary. Over the course of ten years, she completely flipped her lifestyle and her long term career path as a result. Years ago, she was overweight, living in her home country of Canada and just generally unhappy. But she decided she didn’t want her food addiction and obesity to be what defined her story and her end game. So she made drastic life changes to rewrite her own story. She lost 90 lbs and has kept it off for 10 years. Since losing 90 pounds, she has devoted her time to helping others achieve the same happiness she's found on this journey.  As a Certified Personal Trainer, she has helped over 400 clients, both in person and online, lose a cumulative total of 3000+ pounds. And she did this all while side hustling. After several years side hustling, working in corporate and being a fitness professional on the side, she was finally able to build a life she no longer needs a vacation from.  On today’s episode, Tameika gets into: Why heartbreak led her to make a radical life and professional change What made her choose Asia How she quit her job and found a way to move to another country How she kept costs low to work her “get out of a debt plan” The tipping point that made her quit her job How she focuses on her purpose and her passion How she paid her rent in full for the year so she can focus on her purpose and passion   Listen on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher and Google Play Links mentioned on this episode TameikaG.com The Whole Experience retreat Tony Robbins Money Master the Game Tony Robbins Unshakeable book Gary Vee podcast Tameika’s detailed blog post on building a life she doesn’t need a vacation from Click here to subscribe via RSS feed (non-iTunes feed): http://sidehustlepro.libsyn.com/rss Announcements Side Hustle Pro is now over 4800 members strong.

Does the Trump Administration have a grand strategy in Asia? How does an "American First" posture square with the idea of a free and open Asia Pacific? Stephan Haggard interviews Michael Green on the president's visit to Asia and how it reflects the recurring themes in the long arc of American strategic thinking. Dr. Michael Green is senior vice president for Asia and Japan Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) He served on the National Security Council (NSC) from 2001 through 2005, first as director for Asian affairs with responsibility for Japan, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, and then as special assistant to the president for national security affairs and senior director for Asia, with responsibility for East Asia and South Asia. Dr. Green has authored numerous books and articles on East Asian security, including most recently, By More Than Providence: Grand Strategy and American Power in the Asia Pacific Since 1783. He earned his master’s and doctoral degrees from SAIS. Dr. Stephan Haggard is the Lawrence and Sallye Krause Professor of Korea-Pacific Studies.

When did North Korea become a global bandit and villain that deserves “fire and fury that the world has never seen before?” How has been this small country in the Korean peninsula used to justify America’s military expansion in Asia-Pacific? What does Christianity (Americanized Protestantism in particular) have to do with America’s militarized foreign policy in Asia? How can we, as a learning community, talk about America’s wars in foreign countries? Contemplating these questions, my presentation critically re-examines America’s memory of the Korean War, conventionally known as “the Forgotten War” and the War’s legacy, including the division and conflict between North and South Koreas, the U.S.—South Korea relations, militarized prostitution around U.S. military bases in South Korea, transnational adoption, effects of napalm and civilian massacres, Korean immigration to the U.S. and peacemaking activism.
