In this week's episode of China Insider, Miles Yu discusses the recall campaign movement in Taiwan's Legislative Yuan and what this means for the Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People's Party (TPP) coalition, as well as implications for the future of U.S.-Taiwan relations. Second, Miles looks to answer whether China over-extended in its response to United States tariffs, and how China's response may not reflect the economic reality. Lastly, we look into Apple's announcement to transition iPhone production from China to India by the end of 2026, and assess China's economic capacity to absorb such a significant offshore of manufacturing.China Insider is a weekly podcast project from Hudson Institute's China Center, hosted by China Center Director and Senior Fellow, Dr. Miles Yu, who provides weekly news that mainstream American outlets often miss, as well as in-depth commentary and analysis on the China challenge and the free world's future.

It's about a month after 228, an important date in Taiwan's history, marking the 228 Massacre. 228 stands for February 28 1947. February 28th is now commemorated as a national holiday in Taiwan known as the 228 Peace Memorial Day.   For this year's 228 episode, we wanted to release my interview with Nâ Sū Phok (藍士博), the Executive Director of the 228 Memorial Foundation in Taiwan. Last July 2024, I sat down with him at the Taiwanese American Conference at West Chester University about his work for the 228 Memorial Foundation. You may be wondering why we are sharing this episode a month later.   Since Sū Phok spoke in Taiwanese Hokkien during the interview, it required translation from Taiwanese into English, and that took a bit longer than anticipated. Secondly, 228 is not a single date in history, subsequent events after February 28th lasted beyond and into March leading to what some refer to as the March Massacre.   Here's a brief summary for those unfamiliar with the 228 Massacre.   The first thing to know is that like most significant events in history, they do not just take place on a single date. There are usually circumstances and other happenings that lead up to the date in history. Two years before the 228 Massacre in 1945, at the end of World War II, the Chinese Nationalists (aka the Kuomintang/KMT) had fled from China to Taiwan bringing with them the Republic of China framework. Since then, tensions had been mounting for quite some time.   In the case of the 228 Massacre, there were conflicts and protests that began much earlier, leading up to what happened on the night of February 27th, 1947 when Tobacco Monopoly Bureau agents tried to confiscate contraband cigarettes from a 40-year-old woman and brutally knocked her out. When an angry crowd gathered in protest, one of the agents fired a shot into the crowd killing a bystander. Within 24 hours, by the next day, February 28th, the incident had escalated into bloody violence and massacres. More killings happened in March of 1947, which have led some Taiwanese dissidents to call it the March Massacre.   Under the authoritarian Chiang regime, what followed after 228 was 38 years of martial law and the White Terror era. Anyone could be disappeared, executed or worse for just saying or doing the wrong thing, or for what was seemingly wrong in the eyes of the authorities. The people of Taiwan were horrified and terrified. Generations dared not speak of 228.   228 was absent from high school textbooks until relatively recently. Denial, distrust, suppression, and the passage of time have made it hard for many to come to terms with 228.   If you'd like to learn more, I invite you to listen to our past episodes about 228 that are listed in the Related Links section below.   Special thanks to Mei-Ling Lin for her translation assistance for this episode.   This episode is sponsored in part by the Taiwanese American Council of Greater New York.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: What does 228 refer to and what is its historical significance Sū Phok's background and upbringing How Sū Phok first learned about or heard about 228 If Sū Phok has any family members/relatives that have been impacted by or victimized by 228 Why/How did Sū Phok got involved with the 228 Memorial Foundation Where does Sū Phok's interest in history comes from Why it's important to preserve history What the 228 Memorial Foundation does How what the 228 Memorial Foundation does is different from what the Transitional Justice Commission does What Sū Phok's responsibilities are as the Executive Director of the 228 Memorial Foundation What kind of work Sū Phok was doing before working for the 228 Memorial Foundation How the work of the 228 Memorial Foundation has changed since it was founded in1995 Some of the milestones/major accomplishments of the 228 Memorial Foundation News from early 2024 about how Taiwan's Transitional Justice Commission identified 42 historical sites The 228 Memorial Foundation's opinions on historical sites of injustice related to 228 Current initiatives/projects of the 228 Memorial Foundation?

In July of 2024, we brought Talking Taiwan to the Taiwanese American Conference at West Chester University and I sat down to interview Sherry Chou, the Director of Dr. Chen Wen-chen Memorial Foundation.   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/dr-sherry-chou-remembers-dr-chen-wen-chen-and-circumstances-surrounding-his-mysterious-death-ep-305/   Dr. Chen Wen-chen was an assistant professor of statistics at Carnegie Mellon University when he and his family returned to his native Taiwan for a vacation in the summer of 1981. Dr. Chen's permit to leave the country to return to the U.S. was rejected and so the Taiwan Garrison Command called in Dr. Chen for questioning regarding his political beliefs and activities in the United States. They questioned him on June 30th and July 2nd,  but then on July 3, 1981, Chen's body was found on the campus of National Taiwan University (NTU) in Taipei. At the time the autopsy reported that his death was due to a fall. Chen's mysterious death shed light on how the work of Chinese Nationalist Kuomintang spies on U.S. campuses led to Chen's interrogation by the Garrison Command.   Sherry and I talked about how and why it took 10 years to establish the Dr. Chen Wen-chen Incident Memorial Square at National Taiwan University (NTU), and the Rainbow Taiwan Independence Flag. Sherry also shared some memories of the Sunflower Movement, which you'll hear Sherry refer to as sān yī ba, which is three one eight in mandarin Chinese, and a reference to March 18, 2014, the date that activists and students occupied Taiwan's legislative yuan which became known as the Sunflower Movement.   Dr. Chen Wen-chen's memory was honored at Taiwanese American Conference's 2024 memorial concert.   This episode is sponsored in part by the Taiwanese American Council of Greater New York.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: Who Dr. Chen Wen-chen was The events leading up to the mysterious death of Dr. Chen Dr. Chen's body was found on July 3, 1981, on the ground at National Taiwan University Initial autopsy reported his death as a fall, but circumstances were suspicious His death shed light on the activities of Kuomintang (KMT) spies on U.S. campuses Why it took 10 years to establish the Dr. Chen Wen-chen Incident Memorial Square at National Taiwan University Sherry also talked about the Rainbow Taiwan independence flag project Sherry discussed her memories of the Sunflower Movement Dr. Chen Wen-chen was honored at the Taiwanese American Conference's 2024 Memorial Concert Dr. Chen fundraised for Formosa Magazine, which drew the attention of KMT agents Formosa Magazine is linked to the Formosa Incident, also known as the Kaohsiung Incident Recent findings by the Transitional Justice Commission revealed that Dr. Chen had been under surveillance since 1979 Forensic evidence confirmed that Dr. Chen died before falling from a building The Lin family murders occurred on February 28, 1980; Lin Yi-hsiung's mother and his twin daughters were stabbed and killed and his oldest daughter survived The death of Chen Wen-chen angered both local and overseas Taiwanese people Sherry talked about a photo of protestors in the 1980s wearing paper bags over their heads to disguise their identities The idea for the memorial started in 2011 with professors and students co-signing a petition The initial proposal was just to place a sign on campus, not a square, but the university didn't want even a sign The social atmosphere in 2011 was different, with Taiwan moving closer to China under President Ma Ying-jeou There were many ridiculous objections to the sign The turning point came in 2014 when Dr. Yang Pan-chyr, a more progressive president, agreed to set up the memorial square There was uncertainty about whether the university would change its stance after Dr. Yang left and Kuan Chung-ming became president Kuan Chung-ming was unpopular, especially among the DPP and progressive community, due to his conservative views and ties to China Dr. Yang tried to push for the sign before he left After Kuan Chung-ming became president, he withdrew support for funding, and the Dr. Chen Wen-chen Foundation covered the costs The public contributed to fundraising efforts through social media Around 2016, there was a surge in advocacy for gender equality in Taiwan and its connection to Taiwanese sovereignty and identity In 2016, Taiwan's marriage equality movement gained attention with people protesting on the streets On May 24, 2017, Taiwan's Constitutional Court ruled that same-sex couples had the right to marry Someone used photoshop to combine the rainbow flag and Taiwanese independence flags Funds were raised through social media and distributed 1300 flags at events The flags allowed people to express support for both marriage equality and national issues 2016 marked the beginning of more people expressing concern for both gender equality and national issues LGBTQ individuals were more actively engaged in the Bluebird Movement, possibly due to increased mobilization since 2016 Sherry was previously the marketing director for Watchout, a media company Watchout started at the end of 2013, around the time of the Sunflower Movement, capturing many photos from then The company shifted focus to issues related to Taiwan's independence and civil defense Watchout published two books: Civil Defense Guide (covering disasters and war) and Active Civil Defense Guide (focused on war) How Sherry got interest in feminism She admires figures like Professor Fan Yun and Liu Wen for their feminist contributions Sherry emphasized the importance of efforts from both Taiwanese communities in Taiwan and those outside of Taiwan in order to make significant change happen   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/dr-sherry-chou-remembers-dr-chen-wen-chen-and-circumstances-surrounding-his-mysterious-death-ep-305/

NATWA (the North America Taiwanese Women's Association) has been around since 1988 and for this episode about NATWA I interviewed Elena Ling, one of NATWA's founding members, Hui-Na Lin, a past NATWA national president, Susan Liao, two-time president of NATWA's Toronto chapter, and Sue Kuo NATWA's current vice president and president elect for 2025. It is impossible to properly acknowledge the unique contributions of each NATWA national president, or all of NATWA's board and committee members, NATWA's supporters, donors, and countless others who have made NATWA what it is. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/the-history-of-natwa-unique-contributions-by-three-national-presidents-ep-300/     As I reflect on this, I'd like to share a poetic analogy that Hui-Na Lin, 2022-2023 NATWA national president shared with me to describe the essence of NATWA. It's from a short story she wrote “Fly Together Over Mountains” which she told me was inspired by the Canadian geese's migration down south for the winter each year. A single goose could not make the trip as efficiently alone. Several geese fly together as a group in a V formation. There is one bird that leads the group initially, but when the lead bird gets tired, it moves to the back for a rest, and another bird takes the lead. The birds all take turns leading the group to their final destination. Like the Canadian geese NATWA's members work together to support each other in turn. It's not about one single leader.     As you listen to this episode you'll learn more about how NATWA meets its five point mission statement which 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.   Special Thanks to Elena Ling and Alvina Ling for providing useful details about NATWA's formation and history for this episode. And a very special thank you to NATWA and its members for all of the encouragement and support that you've given to our two-person team here at Talking Taiwan. Thank you for making our work possible.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   How and why NATWA (the North America Taiwanese Women's Association) was founded Annette Lu's (former Vice President of Taiwan) connection to NATWA How Annette Lu was one of the Kaohsiung Eight (one of eight people arrested as a result of the Kaohsiung aka Formosa incident) The first meeting with the 30 founding members of NATWA How NATWA has a President-elect who serves as Vice President the year before becoming President How NATWA started off as a national organization The early formation of NATWA How progressive it was at the time to form NATWA How NATWA has grown from 30 to 1,000 members How NATWA became a 501(c)(3) organization How NATWA has 2 major events a year, an annual convention (in April) and a mid-year leadership meeting (in October) The impact that NATWA has made in the lives of its members How Hui-Na Lin and Susan Liao got involved in NATWA initially and later took on leadership roles in the organization NATWA's early struggles in attracting members due to pressure from Taiwan's Kuomintang (KMT) government at the time NATWA's early successful fundraising efforts Why NATWA avoided accepting any government funding NATWA's early successful projects NATWA's charitable fundraising efforts How NATWA's members are aging How NATWA's membership and programs grew during the pandemic What made NATWA's WebEx programs during the pandemic successful What types of WebEx programs NATWA offered during the pandemic Major activities organized by NATWA Toronto The first NATWA event that Felicia Lin, the host of Talking Taiwan was invited to attend How Hui-Na and her team got NATWA's members to attend the first in-person mid-year meeting and annual conventions that took place after restrictions on COVID were eased How NATWA addresses women's issues and promotes women's dignity The formation of NATWA II an organization for second generation Taiwanese American women Questions about the future direction of NATWA What Elena, Hui-Na and Susan have each gotten out of their involvement with NATWA   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/the-history-of-natwa-unique-contributions-by-three-national-presidents-ep-300/

Ray and Jim welcome Victor Chin, the official representative of Taiwan's opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party, to discuss Taiwan's political landscape. They discuss how the KMT evolved from the flight with Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan at end of the Chinese Civil War; through decades of unchallenged KMT rule over the island; its transition to a multiparty democracy; through to today as its primary opposition party to the ascendant Democratic People's Party (DPP).They turn to Taiwan's strategic geographic location, the building military threat from the People's Republic of China (PRC), the need for Taiwan to prepare its entire society for hostilities, and the crucial role the U.S. plays in ensuring its security.Victor explains why the KMT emphasizes its support for the “1992 Consensus” regarding “One China” and its ambiguous interpretation. He explains the difference in how the KMT looks at cross-strait relations, emphasizing dialogue over confrontation to manage tensions until democracy can be the force that unifies China.This conservative approach has earned the KMT the reputation of being Beijing's preferred party, but Victor insists it remains Taiwan's original and staunch bastion against communism.To close, Jim's “There I was” story leads him and Ray into a discussion about the promises of authoritarianism versus democracy, which Churchill described as “the worst form of government except for everything else that's been tried.”

Episode #282: Brian Hioe has been a life-long activist. He participated in Occupy Wall Street, Japan's anti-nuclear protests, and the Sunflower Movement, which protested Taiwan's growing economic ties with China. His experience during these movements culminated in founding New Bloom Magazine, which aimed to provide a bilingual platform focused on Taiwan's social and political issues from the perspective of Taiwan's youth.Brian discusses the historic and geopolitical ties between Taiwan and Myanmar, dating back to the Chinese Civil War, when many Kuomintang (KMT) fighters retreated to northern Burma before some eventually relocated to Taiwan. He grew up in the vibrant “Little Burma” neighborhood in Taiwan, which became a focal point for Myanmar-related activism following the coup.Brian elaborates on his involvement with the Milk Tea Alliance (MTA), highlighting its evolution from online activism involving Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand to a broader, transnational movement. Myanmar's inclusion reflects its shared struggle against authoritarianism, although its conditions—being in a state of prolonged conflict with limited internet access—make it a unique member.He emphasizes that the decentralized nature of the MTA is a strategic adaptation to authoritarian states that target centralized leaders. Brian concludes by underlining the importance of maintaining solidarity networks despite challenges like reduced online traction, advocating for sustained efforts to amplify Myanmar voices amid ongoing repression.“Myanmar joining the Milk Tea Alliance reflects the permeability of this framework, that basically, when there's a struggle, you can also be part of the Milk Tea Alliance. It's not exclusionary, but it is the one in which there was not just peaceful protests or student movements in forms of civil disobedience, but one that's spilled over into a civil war, and I think that is the difference. So the protest tactics that work in the other places, for example, will not work in Myanmar, because it is more oppressive.”

Ten years ago, on the night of March 18, 2014 students and activists broke into Taiwan's Legislative Yuan in an effort to block the passage of the Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement, a trade agreement between Taiwan and China. The day before, on March 17, the Kuomintang (KMT) had attempted to force through passage of the trade agreement in the Legislative Yuan, without giving it a clause-by-clause review. The occupation of the Legislative Yuan lasted over 20 days, until April 10 th and Fire EX.'s song Island's Sunrise became the anthem of the movement, which came to known as the Sunflower Movement. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/fireex-10th-anniversary-sunflower-movement-sam-yang-tells-how-island-sunrise-became-its-anthem-ep-278/ To commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Sunflower Movement, I sat down and spoke with Sam Yang, the lead singer of the band Fire EX. about how the opportunity to write the song Island's Sunrise came about. As it turns out there's a New York connection to the story and an exhibit and event to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the Sunflower Movement be taking place in New York on March 15 and running until April 15. Sam and I also spoke about where he gets his musical inspiration and how the band nearly broke up in 2015, the same year that Island's Sunrise was named Song of the Year at the Golden Melody Awards. Fire EX. now has its own music production company and since 2017 they have been organizing something called Fireball Fest. The band is now on a North American tour and most notably will be performing at this year's South by Southwest in Austin Texas. We'll share their tour dates below. This interview was a real treat for me because I happened to be in Taiwan in 2014 when the Sunflower Movement happened. I remember all of the events that unfolded and being so moved when I heard the song Island's Sunrise. Special thanks to Katie Wei for her translation and May Wu for her help in making this interview possible. Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:  How Sam got interested in music  How Fire EX. got started and where its name comes from  Fire EX.'s musical influences  Sam's path to becoming a full-time musician  Sam's advice for young aspiring musicians  How the opportunity for Fire EX. to write a song for the Sunflower Movement happened  The New York connection to the story of how Fire EX. was asked to write a song for the Sunflower Movement  How there will be a month-long exhibit in New York to commemorate the 10- year anniversary of the Sunflower Movement from March 15-April 15 at the Tenri Cultural Institute in New York City  March 18, 2014 the night students and activists broke into and occupied the Legislative Yuan  The March 23, 2014 attempt to occupy the Executive Yuan  The rallies that happened worldwide on March 30, 2014 in support of the students and activists' actions to block the Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement  How students who occupied the Legislative Yuan often listened to Fire EX.'s song Good Night Formosa before falling asleep  Why students of the Taipei National University of the Arts approached Sam to writ a song for the Sunflower Movement  Sam's approach to writing the song Island's Sunrise  How Sam decides to write songs in Holo Taiwanese or Mandarin Chinese  Sam's thoughts on the differences and challenges of the twenty-somethings who were involved in the Sunflower Movement vs. the twenty-somethings who just voted in Taiwan's recent election (January 13, 2024)  How Sam's sense of social activism was influenced by his roommate Wu Zhining (吳志寧) whose father Wu Sheng (吳晟) is a famous Taiwanese poet  How Fire EX. almost broke up in 2015  The Fireball Festival  How Fire EX. will be touring in North American in March and performing at South by Southwest in Austin, TX  One of the most touching things that Sam has heard from one of the band's fans  What we can expect from Fire EX. in the future, a concert in Taipei on June 15 and Fireball Festival at the end of November Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/fireex-10th-anniversary-sunflower-movement-sam-yang-tells-how-island-sunrise-became-its-anthem-ep-278/

In this highly anticipated electoral battle, Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) faces formidable opponents from the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) and the Kuomintang (KMT). China's Taiwan Affairs Office has framed these elections as a critical choice between “peace and war, prosperity and decline.” The failure of a proposed alliance, aimed at forming a pro-China government, has further heightened tensions. The established Kuomintang and the emerging Taiwan People's Party were unable to agree on a joint leadership, leading to a dramatic implosion of the alliance plan on live television.

William Lai, the candidate from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), is set to be Taiwan's next president, after his closest rival, the opposition Kuomintang, conceded defeat.Lai has been labelled a ‘troublemaker' by China, while the Kuomintang (KMT) had promised better ties with Beijing and peace in the Taiwan Strait. Also in the programme: As this weekend marks 100 days since the Hamas attacks of 7 October, we revisit the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza; and hear about the Cup of Nations, Africa's leading football tournament, which kicks off in Ivory Coast today.

Talking Taiwan is taking the show on the road back to Taiwan on the Talking Taiwan Election Tour and we traveled down to Taichung on January 7th to meet up in person with political commentator Courtney Donovan Smith, to do some pre-election coverage. We talked about the backgrounds of the three presidential candidates Ko Wen-je (柯文哲), the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) nominee, Lai Ching-te (賴清德), the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Hou Yu-ih (侯友宜), the Kuomintang (KMT) nomineeand their running mates, the opposition unity ticket between the Kuomintang and Taiwan People's Party that fell apart.

To learn more about the candidates and their policies be sure to check out episode 270 with Courtney about the presidential debate. After the election results are in, we will bring Courtney back to share his post-election results analysis with us.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: ·       The background of TPP presidential candidate Ko Wen-je ·       How Taiwan has a lot of politicians with medical backgrounds ·       The background of DPP presidential candidate Lai-Ching-te ·       The DPP campaign video” On the way” featuring Tsai Ing-wen, Lai Ching-te and Bi-khim Hsiao ·       The background of KMT presidential candidate Hou You-yi ·       Hou You-yi's background as a police officer ·       The background of Jaw Shau-kong the KMT vice presidential candidate ·       The background of Bi-Khim Hsiao the DPP vice presidential candidate ·       The background of Cynthia Wu the TPP vice presidential candidate ·       Some of the controversies and allegations involving the presidential candidates ·       What happened to Terry Gou founder of Foxconn who withdrew from Taiwan's 2024 presidential election   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/background-of-taiwan-presidential-candidates-2024-political-analyst-courtney-donovan-smiths-rundown-for-upcoming-election-ep-271/

Sabato i taiwanesi votano per eleggere il presidente e rinnovare il parlamento. L'attuale vicepresidente Lai Ching-te (William Lai), del Partito democratico progressista (Dpp, attualmente al governo), è il grande favorito del voto. Il suo principale avversario è Hou Yu-ih, candidato del Kuomintang (Kmt), formazione favorevole a relazioni più strette con Pechino. Il voto è seguito con attenzione dalla Cina, che considera Taiwan una sua provincia ribelle, e dagli Stati Uniti, i principali fornitori di armi all'isolaProprio la Cina ha definito Lai, un “grave pericolo” per le sue posizioni, ritenute “indipendentiste”. Per Pechino quello di sabato è un voto cruciale dell'isola, da considerarsi come una scelta tra “pace e guerra”. Entrambi i principali candidati sostengono comunque di voler mantenere lo status quo, una situazione sostanzialmente cristallizzata nella quale i taiwanesi rivendicano una propria autonomia e Pechino rivendica una propria sovranità sull'isola. Il vicepresidente William Lai in passato si era detto favorevole all'indipendenza dell'isola, nella corsa al voto ha invece dichiarato che non farà mosse in quella direzione. Il candidato del Kuomintang, Lai Ching-te ha dal canto suo promesso di “non svendere Taiwan alla Cina” e di mantenere i legami con gli Stati Uniti.Ma quanto pesa la questione del rapporto con la Cina sulle elezioni, sulle intenzioni di voto dei taiwanesi? Quali sono gli scenari che si prospettano in caso di vittoria dell'attuale vicepresidente? Che ruolo giocano la Cina e gli Stati Uniti in queste elezioni?Di questo e altro parliamo con:Lorenzo Lamperti Giornalista a Taiwan, collaboratore RSIGiulia Sciorati analista dell'Ispi e ricercatrice alla London School of Economics and Political Science, specializzata in politica estera e di sicurezza della Cina.

ABD ve Çin arasındaki “Büyük Güç rekabeti”nin en kırılgan “jeopolitik” noktalarından birisi Tayvan. Bu yüzden 13 Ocak'taki Tayvan seçimleri ABD- Çin ilişkilerinin seyri açısından son derece önemli. Anketlere göre Tayvan'da iktidardaki “Demokratik İlerleme Partisi” önde gözüküyor. Muhalefetin en güçlü partisiyse, Tayvan'ın kurucu partisi “Kuomintang(KMT). 1949'dan itibaren Ana kara Çin'i ile Tayvan ayrı yaşıyorlar. “Çin Cumhuriyeti” adıyla yönetilen Tayvan'ın “BM”deki koltuğu 1971'de “Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti”ne devredildi. Bu karar ÇHC'yi ‘Çin'in BM'deki tek meşru temsilcisi olarak tanıyor. Tayvan ise dış dünya ile ilişkisini resmî olmayan yollarla sürdürüyor. ABD 1979'da Pekin rejimiyle yaptığı anlaşmalar sebebiyle “Tek Çin” ilkesini kabul ediyor, Tayvan'ı Çin'in parçası olarak görüyor. Ancak ABD, Tayvan'ın güç kullanılarak ilhâk edilmesine karşı. Çin “barışçıl yollarla birleşme”yi önceliyor, birleşmeyi sağlayacak koşulların zayıflaması halinde güç kullanımı seçeneğini ise dışlamıyor. Tayvan, Çin'in en zayıf karnı. Ekonomik, teknolojik ve askerî yükselişi sebebiyle Çin'i ‘varoluşsal' bir rakip, hasım veya tehdit olarak gören ABD, Pekin'le ilişkilerinde Tayvan'ı bir kaldıraç olarak görüyor. O kadar ki Tayvan artık ABD için “stratejik bir varlık” niteliği taşıyor. Uzun yıllar Tayvan'ı demir yumrukla yöneten “Kuomintang” kendisini Çin anakarasının da meşru hükümeti olarak sunuyordu. Şimdiyse Pekin ile daha yakın ekonomik ve siyasî bağların sürdürülmesinden yana. Eski hasmı Kuomintang'ın kazanmasını isteyen Pekin, “Demokratik İlerleme Partisi”ni ise dış güçlere güvenerek kırmızı çizgileri aşmaması için sık sık uyarıyor. Çin lideri Şi Cinping Tayvan ile Ana kara Çin'inin birleşmesinin gelecek nesillere bırakılmaması gerektiğini de söylüyor. Bu yaklaşım, ABD'nin Tayvan'ı giderek daha fazla silahlandırmasıyla, pekişmiş görünüyor. Çinliler Amerikalıların taahhütleriyle eylemlerinin tezat teşkil ettiğini, “Tek Çin” politikasını örselediklerini, Tayvan'ı bağımsızlık için teşvik ettiklerini düşünüyorlar. ABD, Tayvan'ın işgal edilmesi durumunda askerî müdahalede bulunup bulunmayacağı konusunda bir şey söylemiyor. Böylece alacağı pozisyonu muallâkta bırakıyor. Bu “Stratejik belirsizlik” Çin'i temkinli olmaya yöneltiyor. Küresel ekonominin en önemli bileşeni olan Çin, büyümesini tehlikeye atmak istemiyor. Küresel ekonomiden ayrışmanın geleceğe yönelik hedeflerini akamete uğratmasından endişe eden Çin “stratejik sabır” olarak da ifade edilen uzun vadeli bir politika yürütüyor. Uzmanlara göre ABD'nin taahhüt ve eylemleri arasındaki tezatlık Çin'in stratejik sabrını zorluyor ve bölgede bir savaş ihtimaliniyse giderek artırıyor.

On December 30th  there was a debate held between Taiwan's three presidential candidates Lai Ching-te (賴清德), the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) nominee Hou Yu-ih (侯友宜), the Kuomintang (KMT) nominee and Ko Wen-je (柯文哲), the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) nominee. The three candidates started with eight minutes each to present their candidacy, that was followed by a media question answer session, and then in the second half each candidate had a chance to question each other. I sat down and spoke with political commentator Courtney Donovan Smith who shared his thoughts and observations about the debate.   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/taiwan-presidential-debate-2024-political-analyst-courtney-donovan-smiths-insights-on-the-upcoming-election-ep-270/   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: ·       How candidates were doing at the polls at the time of this interview was recorded (December 30, 2023) ·       How undecided voters could influence the outcome of the presidential election ·       How Courtney calculates the Taiwan News Poll of Polls ·       How the presidential candidates performed in the first policy forum in comparison to the presidential debate ·       The 60-70% of what was covered during the debate was related to China ·       The second issue covered during the debate was properties owned by the three candidates ·       Little time was spent on domestic issues like Taiwan's low birth rate, and energy ·       Each candidate's position on China and how they would handle relations with China ·       Hou You-yi, Ko Wen-je and Lai Ching-te's take on the 1992 Consensus ·       How from China's point of view, the 1992 Consenus includes acceptance of the One China principle ·       How Hou You-yi wants to bring back the cross strait services pact ·       Courtney's opinion of the cross strait services pact ·       How Ko Wen-je wants to pass the cross strait oversight bill ·       During the debate Ko Wen-je claimed that the Sunflower Movement was a protest against black box political dealings and not a protest of the services trade pact, when it in fact was a protest about both black box political dealings and the services trade pact ·       Each of the presidential candidate's position on national defense spending ·       Each of the presidential candidate's position on extending or shortening military service ·       The candidate's policies on housing, death penalty and energy and nuclear power plants in Taiwan ·       How Taiwan's energy reserves are a matter of national security ·       If younger voters care more about domestic issues or the China issue ·       Courtney's thoughts on watching Taiwan Plus' broadcast of the debate with simultaneous English translation ·       How Hou You-yi spoke some Taiwanese during the policy forum, debate ·       The Kuomintang's strategy behind picking Jaw--- as the vice presidential candidate ·       How the KMT put Han Kuo-yu in the number one slot on their party list, which indicated that he is probably their candidate for the legislative speaker   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/taiwan-presidential-debate-2024-political-analyst-courtney-donovan-smiths-insights-on-the-upcoming-election-ep-270/

As a follow up to last week's episode featuring my interview with General Yu, I invited Taipei Times columnist Michael Turton back on to Talking Taiwan to talk about the 1992 Consensus, a term that General Yu mentioned, and in the lead up to Taiwan's presidential elections in January, the Kuomintang presidential candidate Hou Yi-ih brought it up.

二次大戰結束，香港重光，中國則很快陷入國共內戰。儘管香港不受政權更替所影響，但是中國政治的變遷卻對香港影業有著間接但強大的影響。在戰爭時留滬的上海影人被視為漢奸而避禍香港。資本雄厚的永華公司也因香港局勢較穩而在香港建立。國共都想在香港發揮影響力，在鬥爭中造成左派右派兩大陣營，在冷戰階段構成香港影業的基本格局。 Following the end of World War Two, Hong Kong was liberated from the Japanese occupation while China was embroiled in the Chinese Civil War between the Kuomintang (KMT) government and forces of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Despite being unscathed by the regime changes, the shift in the Chinese political landscape had a determining but indirect influence on Hong Kong's film industry. During the Civil War, many Shanghai filmmakers sought refuge in Hong Kong because they were considered traitors to the regime. The well-capitalized company, Wing-Wah, also established its foundation in Hong Kong due to its relative political stability. During the Cold War, KMT and CCP tried to expand their reach to Hong Kong. The conflict between the two camps consolidated the leftist-rightist dichotomy as the basic structure of the Hong Kong film industry.

I was in Taipei when the Legislative Yuan, which is the equivalent of the parliament in Taiwan, was occupied by students and activists in an effort to block the passage of the trade agreement between Taiwan and China. It was the beginning of what became known as the Sunflower Movement. The day before, on March 17, the Kuomintang (KMT) had attempted to force through passage of the CSSTA in Taiwan's Legislative Yuan, without giving it a clause-by-clause review.   Several days later at a press conference on March 23rd Taiwan's then President Ma Ying-jeou stated his resolve in passing the trade agreement. That night, students and activists attempted to occupy the Executive Yuan in protest. A few days later, on March 28th I spoke with Eric Chang who joined students and protestors outside of the Executive Yuan on the 23rd. He was there when police started breaking up the students and protestors, himself among them, and he shared what he saw and experienced that night in episode 121.   At the time I spoke to Eric it had been only 10 days since the occupation of the Legislative Yuan, so the situation at the Legislative Yuan and the Sunflower Movement was still unfolding and this of course was before we knew what the outcome would be. It's interesting to look back on it and hear my conversation with Eric in pre-COVID times, and way before the insurrection of the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. We talked about the role of social media in the occupation of the Legislative Yuan, how the Sunflower Movement galvanized young people in Taiwan at the time, and the atmosphere outside the Legislative Yuan while it was occupied; every day there were thousands of people from all walks of life gathered outside in the streets surrounding the Legislative Yuan.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: ·       What the occupation of the Legislative Yuan by students and activists means for Taiwan's democracy ·       What the scene/situation around the occupied Legislative Yuan was like ·       Comparisons between the occupation of Taiwan's Legislative Yuan with what would happen if people tried to occupy the U.S. Capitol Building ·       How peaceful and organized the student protestors are; they have set up a variety of stations for supplies, to charge mobile phones, for recycling, first aid ·       Professors have given lectures outside in the perimeter of the Legislative Yuan ·       A sausage vendor that's set up outside of the Legislative Yuan and is giving out sausage for free ·       Medical and legal professionals who have volunteered to help the student protestors ·       How Eric and his friend Dwagie (Taiwanese hip hop artist/rapper) have visited the Legislative Yuan area since the occupation ·       The March 30th Rally in support of the Sunflower Movement that took place globally ·       The Taiwan Voice Facebook page ·       How people can speak publicly or perform in the area surrounding the occupied Legislative Yuan ·       Lazy Habits, a jazz hip hop band performed outside of the occupied Legislative Yuan ·       High school students in Tainan (in southern Taiwan) are speaking out publicly about the occupation of the Legislative Yuan ·       How the Sunflower Movement has galvanized people across Taiwan ·       How Eric has seen friends who are KMT supporters come out in support of the Sunflower Movement and occupation of the Legislative Yuan ·       How young people learn about news through social media, Facebook and PTT, a popular local bulletin board founded by a National Taiwan University student in 1995 ·       Whether or not the pact (Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement) will get passed ·       How the Sunflower Movement has made people feel more comfortable to free to speak out publicly   Related Links: To view all related links for this article, click link below: https://talkingtaiwan.com/eric-chang-on-the-unfolding-situation-at-the-legislative-yuan-during-the-sunflower-movement-ep-231/

In Taiwan, the victory in Taipei's 2022 mayoral election of Chiang Wan-an, the Kuomintang (KMT) candidate and purported great grandson of former strongman Chiang Kai Shek, has sparked debate about the future of the island's relationship with China. While the KMT has adopted a more conciliatory stance towards the Chinese Communist Party, its one-time arch adversary, Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) advocates for a separate Taiwanese identity. If the election outcome points to a strengthening KMT eventually winning national government and taking a softer line towards Beijing, would it really improve cross-straits relations? Is simply maintaining the One China policy indefinitely a viable long-term strategy? What is the best outcome that the Taiwanese people can realistically hope for? China historian Dr Craig Smith and Taiwan watcher Dr Lennon Chang join host Ali Moore to examine Taiwan's often fraught relationship with the People's Republic of China.Note: Since this interview was recorded on 17 January, Lennon has accepted an associate professorship at Deakin University.An Asia Institute podcast.Produced and edited by ProfactualMusic by audionautix.com.

To say that the current situation between Washington, Beijing, and Taipei is a crisis of world-changing significance would be a massive understatement. With the Cross-Strait relationship between the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC) and the People's Republic of China (PRC) being at one of its worst phases since the immediate era following the 1949 conclusion (at least when it comes to the end of military conflict on the Chinese Mainland) of the Civil War between the forces of the Kuomintang (KMT, lit: “Chinese Nationalist Party”) and the Communist Party of China (CCP), respectively. The recent announcement of an impending, formal diplomatic envoy headed by none other than Nancy Pelosi, the current Speaker of the United States House of Representatives has sparked a blazing hot rhetorical response from Beijing and its so-called “Wolf Warrior” diplomats with fears from the Biden Administration and Policymakers from the Pentagon that this could potentially manifest in the PLA Air Force shadowing and then literally shooting down the aircraft that would be transporting Speaker Pelosi, among other high-ranking (and yet to be announced) American politicians. In this segment today, I attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of the tensions as they have developed through the aforementioned war of words and also my personal geostrategic analysis of what is certainly a situation of critical importance if one is someone such as myself with an interest in foreign policy and international relations. – Articles Read & Referenced in the Podcast: “Biden and China's Xi to speak during tense Taiwan standoff” - via the Washington Post | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/07/28/china-biden-xi-call-nancy-pelosi-taiwan/ “EXPLAINER: Why is a Pelosi visit to Taiwan causing tension?” - via the Associated Press | https://apnews.com/article/china-pelosi-taiwan-visit-explainer-fd940b681b9a4165d2ace569bbfe33fb “How Eisenhower Saved Taiwan” - via The Diplomat | https://thediplomat.com/2015/07/how-eisenhower-saved-taiwan/ – Previous Video Segments I Produced on the Taiwan Question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KXpA6aqxt0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFiR2VX6PKQ&t=1064s – ***Expanded Description Coming Soon!*** – CONNECT: Main YouTube | http://youtube.com/GetNuanced Tech Channel | http://youtube.com/TJCMN Show Twitter | http://twitter.com/GetNuanced Main Twitter | http://twitter.com/TJCMN Show Instagram | http://instagram.com/GetNuanced Main Instagram | http://instagram.com/TJC – #GetNuanced with TJC --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/getnuanced/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/getnuanced/support

The History of the Kuomintang is an overview on the inception of the Kuomintang (KMT), a Chinese political party that ruled mainland China from 1927 to 1949 prior to its relocation to Taiwan as a result of the Chinese Civil War. The name of the party translates as "China's National People's Party" and was historically referred to as the Chinese Nationalists.

In the past four hundred years, the cultural position of Taiwan has been undergoing a series of drastic changes due to constant political turmoil. From the early seventeenth century to the late twentieth century, the ruling power of Taiwan shifted from Spaniard and Dutch to the Late-Ming Zheng regime, then to the Qing court and imperial Japan, and finally to the Kuomintang (KMT) government from China. In this regard, Taiwan has long been regarded as a supplementary addition to its cultural Other: China, Japan, or imperial western powers, despite its rich Aboriginal cultures. To create a self-claimed subjectivity, the localist camp of the island has been promoting the Taiwanese consciousness via political movements and literary writings in a century-long campaign. Its focus on the native soil and experience is well connected with the Sinophone studies, which has been a prominent field across geographical and disciplinary barriers. As Taiwan's community grows more diverse, Taiwan literature is enriched by a series of locally based writings that draw attention to a specific space and/or to the division between places. In the twentieth century, more and more Taiwanese writers are no longer content with a singular place or dual comparison in their literary creations. Rather, they have started to recognize the plurality of Taiwaneseness and thus re-create an ambiguous form of the Taiwanese subjectivity in response to the conflict and compromise between political beliefs and ethnic groups in a cross-cultural light. To further engage with the multifaceted cultural expressions of Taiwan, Chia-Rong Wu's Remapping the Contested Sinosphere: The Cross-Cultural Landscape and Ethnoscape of Taiwan (Cambria Press, 2020) speaks to the current framework of Sinophone studies by focusing on modern Taiwan and its entanglement with cultural China, Chinese diasporas, nativist trend, and Aboriginal consciousness. Recognizing the unresolved ethnic issues of Taiwan, this study explores different dimensions of ethnoscape in response to the cross-cultural landscape of Taiwan and beyond, while at the same time taking into account the intertwining of the official history and the individual, or ethnic, memory of Taiwan. Chia-rong Wu is a Senior Lecturer of Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. He is also the author of Supernatural Sinophone Taiwan and Beyond (Cambria, 2016). Li-Ping Chen is Postdoctoral Scholar and Teaching Fellow in the East Asian Studies Center at the University of Southern California. Her research interests include literary translingualism, diaspora, and nativism in inter-Asian and transpacific contexts. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Taiwan's Saturday elections, President Tsai Ing Wen of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won a second term in a landslide victory over her opponent, Han Kuo Yu of the Kuomintang (KMT), and her party maintained its majority in the legislature. What's the impact of this election going forward?"Senior administration officials declined Sunday to confirm President Trump's assertion that four US embassies had been targeted for attack by Iran, while saying that Trump's 'interpretation' of the threat was consistent with overall intelligence that justified the killing of a senior Iranian general," the Washington Post reported. “'I didn't see one with regard to four embassies,' Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper said of intelligence reports. 'What I'm saying is I share the president's view that probably — my expectation was they were going to go after our embassies,' Esper told CBS's 'Face the Nation,'" the Post report continued. I thought the intelligence said the attack was imminent, as in ready to take place, happening soon. As all of this is happening, "Protesters denouncing Iran's clerical rulers took to the streets and riot police deployed to face them on Monday, in a third day of demonstrations after authorities acknowledged shooting down a passenger plane by accident," Reuters reported."A social media disinformation expert studied 60,000 tweets from nearly 10,000 accounts using the hashtag #IraniansDetestSoleimani and found that the most common phrases in those users' biographies were 'Make America Great Again' and 'Trump,'" MintPress News' Alan MacLeod reported Friday. What does this mean going forward?"For bucking a key arm of the Democratic Party establishment that has stood in the way of attracting and supporting progressive candidates, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) received applause over the weekend after she announced the launch of a new political action committee designed to directly challenge the power of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee by helping insurgent, left-leaning challengers like herself take on both Republican incumbents and centrist Democrats," Common Dreams reported Monday. What does this mean going forward?GUESTS:Bob Schlehuber — Sputnik News analyst. Kathy Kelly — Co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence. Alan MacLeod — Academic and journalist.
