Taiwan's local elections resulted in the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, or DPP, suffering its worst defeat in 36 years, holding on to only 5 out of 22 municipalities, down from 6 in 2018. The main opposition party, Kuomintang, or KMT, rose to victory in the mayoral and county elections, winning 13 of the 21, including the capital Taipei. What were the issues DPP was being punished for and does this show that voters in Taiwan are more pro-China? We speak to Brian Hew, co-founding editor of New Bloom magazine, an online magazine covering politics and youth culture in Taiwan.Image credit: Shutterstock

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   Dr. Bonny Ling is a scholar and practitioner who works on international human rights and development. She is Executive Director of Work Better Innovations, a research consultancy with a community service mission working on new ideas for a responsible economy. We spoke about her work with migrant workers, the challenges that Taiwan has faced in dealing with migrant workers, why it is important for Taiwan to address the wider challenges of combatting human trafficking and modern slavery. She also spoke about her forced labor project that is going to take her back to Taiwan to work with SMEs (small medium enterprises) in December. In Taiwan 98 percent of all businesses are small medium enterprises and they employ close to 80 percent of the total domestic workforce. The European Union (EU) defines a small enterprise as one with less than 50 employees and a medium enterprise as one with less than 250 employees.   Dr. Bonny Ling has worked in the UN system and in international civil society. Bonny is a Senior Non-Resident Fellow with the University of Nottingham Taiwan Studies Programme; Research Fellow with the Institute for Human Rights and Business; and Advisory Board Member of the INGO Human Rights at Sea. Bonny wrote her PhD in Law on human trafficking and China at the Irish Centre of Human Rights and is an expert on human trafficking and modern slavery. She graduated from Cambridge University (criminology) and the Fletcher School, Tufts University (law and diplomacy). Bonny has served as an international election observer in East Timor and for the OSCE. Previously at the University of Zurich in Switzerland, she writes on human rights, migrants, business responsibilities and international development and is a contributing writer for Ketagalan Media, New Bloom, Taipei Times, Taiwan Insight and The News Lens.   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:   Bonny's connection to Taiwan What constitutes a migrant worker The importance of addressing and speaking about hate and discrimination toward migrants The mistreatment of migrant workers who worked on construction for the 2022 Qatar World Cup The terms forced labor, human trafficking and modern slavery The Modern Slavery Act in the U.K. and Australia The definition of forced labor The indicators of forced labor The media coverage on how migrant factory workers in Taiwan were mistreated during COVID How movement restrictions on migrant workers in Miaoli initially applied to domestic workers and factory workers How the movement restrictions did not make scientific sense from a public health point of view How Taiwan is under scrutiny regarding the treatment of its migrant workers How everyone has a connection to Taiwan if you consider the statistic that Taiwan makes 90% of the world's high-end chips What happened when Indonesia introduced a zero (pre-employment) fee policy for its migrant workers in 2020 The international legal definition of a migrant worker Fees that low wage migrant workers are expected to pay How migrant workers are often indebted (due to the fees they owe) before their first day of work In private industry some brands have exerted pressure on their suppliers telling them that they cannot charge workers fees Bilateral discussions between Indonesia and Taiwan in August that led to the increase in the wage for domestic care workers, and the wage for all domestic care workers has been raised in Taiwan but there are some caveats The wage or domestic care workers hadn't been raised in seven years in Taiwan How Taiwan needs to hire and retain skilled workers for its manufacturing industry due to its declining birthrate and aging population How Taiwan's treatment of migrant workers is related to its image as a responsible global citizen How Taiwan's economy largely consists of (98-99%) SME (small medium enterprises) How better wages and working conditions are related to attracting and retaining workers/employees How there needs to be more dialogue and open communication between employers and workers The importance of creating awareness of forced labor indicators amongst employers How to deal with the infrastructure involved with hiring and bringing over migrant workers Bonny's forced labor project which will bring her to Taiwan in December to educate SMEs in Hsinchu, Taichung and Kaohsiung about the 11 indicators of forced labor SMEs employ 80% of Taiwan's domestic workforce The case of Taiwanese who lured and trafficked to Cambodia How Taiwan was the first country in Asia to legalize same sex marriage When Taiwan lost representation in the United Nations in 1971, it was Taiwan's SMEs that drove the economy   Related Links: To view all related links for this article, click link below: https://talkingtaiwan.com/dr-bonny-ling-discusses-the-challenges-taiwan-faces-dealing-with-migrant-workers-ep-215/

On this episode, CD Rose joins the show! CD Rose is an R&B artist and songwriter from the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. After injuring herself during basketball practice, she felt the need to switch hobbies and ultimately, she discovered her new passion for singing and creating music. She traveled to Atlanta and networked with the producers there to develop her sound. She met with Justice Baiden, one of the founders of LVRN, and was able to join a session with London on da Track. With Summer Walker being one of CD's biggest influences, CD was not going to miss this opportunity. After her time in Atlanta, she released her debut project, “Take Your Own Advice”. A year later, she released her new single, “Tsunami” and is working on her next project. CD is ready to put herself out there. She is looking to represent the LGBTQ+ community in the R&B space. She wants to create pure music about women loving other women and for it to be relatable too. If you listen to her music, you will learn that her message is universal amongst all of us. Tap in!

Tsai Ing-wen has been President of Taiwan since 2016. A member of the Democratic Progressive Party, Tsai is in effect the leader of liberal Taiwan, with her party broadly promoting the idea of Taiwanese identity. In doing so, she faces two opponents. Domestically, she faces the Kuomintang, or KMT, which seeks to reunify Taiwan with mainland China. Tsai also of course faces mainland China, known as the People's Republic, which also seeks to reintegrate Taiwan into its authoritarian state. This puts Tsai in a difficult position, as was recently seen when a visit to Taiwan by Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi led to China conducting military exercises in the Taiwan Strait. Anyone interested in world politics in 2022 needs to know about events in Taiwan. My guest for this conversation today is Brian Hioe, editor of New Bloom magazine, an online magazine covering activism and youth politics in Taiwan and the Asia Pacific that was founded after the pro-democracy Sunflower Movement. As well as Tsai's career, we discuss the Taiwanese identity, the quality of democracy in Taiwan, and whether the KMT is acting as a trojan horse for Beijing. 

For the twenty-second episode of Radio New Bloom, we are proud to partner with the North American Taiwan Studies Association to co-release an episode featuring a moderated conversation between Professors Wen Liu and Wendy Cheng on “Taiwan and the (New) Cold War"

For the twenty-first episode of Radio New Bloom, we present a recording of our event from last year on December 15, 2021 with Dr. Bonny Ling. The event discussed the crucial place that Taiwan plays in global supply chains, whether in terms of semiconductors—of which Taiwan produces over half the global supply—or its fishing fleet—with Taiwan's distant water fishing fleet ranked as the second-largest in the world. Yet Taiwan's supply chains are highly dependent on migrant labor, as in the use of migrant fishermen on Taiwan's near and distant waters fishing fleet, as well as migrant workers in factories for semiconductor manufacturing lines. The talk, then, sought to discuss the various levers possible to push for reform regarding this very pressing issue

In this episode of GTI Insights, GTI Program Manager Marshall Reid and Intern Adrienne Wu interview Brian Hioe, an activist, journalist, and co-founder of New Bloom magazine. In a wide-ranging discussion, Hioe shares his unique perspectives on Taiwan's efforts to expand its profile worldwide, growing United States-Taiwan cultural links, and the challenges associated with presenting Taiwan to US audiences.

Taiwan is not Ukraine. But despite the very important differences in their situations, the Russian invasion can still shed much light on Taiwan's future. Even many Taiwanese think so – and have followed the developments closely, with solidarity marches held for Ukraine, protests at the Russian embassy and the Ukrainian flag lighting up Taiwanese buildings. On this episode of Chinese Whispers, my guests and I discuss the mainstream take on Ukraine (and also the not so mainstream – such as the view that America can't be relied upon, given it hasn't despatched troops to Ukraine). I'm joined by Brian Hioe, editor of New Bloom, an online magazine covering youth culture and politics in Taiwan, and Professor Kerry Brown from Kings College London, author of The Trouble with Taiwan. We give a primer on Taiwanese politics – what does the thriving democracy look like? How are elections held, and what are the major political parties? We discuss how China – instead of particular social or economic issues – is the main political topic dividing the left and the right (the 'Greens' and the 'Blues'), and whether, with mainstream Taiwanese opinion becoming ever hawkish on China in the aftermath of the Hong Kong National Security Law, the more pro-China forces in Taiwanese politics, such as the Kuomintang, really have a future in the country (Kerry says: ‘I don't think the KMT can be written off.') In a crowded continent, there are also other power-brokers. We talk about the influence of America, and where Japan – Taiwan's erstwhile coloniser – fits in with all this. There have been calls for Japan to be more heavily armed in order to deter a Chinese invasion. How would the Taiwanese feel about that? Brian tells me: ‘Views of Japan differ sharply between the pan-green and the pan-blue camp. For the KMT, they remember a lot of the Sino-Japanese war and the crimes committed by the Japanese from that period. But for the pan-greens, who are sometimes descended from those that were in Taiwan for the Japanese colonial period, [remember] the period as a time of higher living standards and improved education, and in which Taiwan is being brought up as a colony rather than these political killings and mass violence, etc. They have a much more romanticised views of a Japanese colonial period.'In the end, economics may supersede politics. If President Tsai Ing-wen can't deliver on the economy given her tough stance on China (which is still Taiwan's biggest trading partner), then domestic politics may be in for another shakeup. As Kerry says: ‘It's the issue that we all wrestle with. Their biggest economic partner is also their biggest security threat'. Additional listening: do tune in to a previous episode with Professor Rana Mitter, if you need a primer on why exactly Taiwan's history means that it is in this position and how the shared language and culture with the People's Republic of China came about https://www.spectator.co.uk/podcast/why-does-china-care-about-taiwan-.

Jesse Kerns was born in Greene County Tennessee. Growing up in East Tennessee, Jesse was always drawn to the mountains, streams and the great outdoors. The Cherokee National Forest, Nolichucky River, Great Smoky Mountains, and his family farm all served as early settings for Jesse's growing appreciation for our region's greatest asset - its natural geography.Jesse began his career in the stock car racing industry, fielding cars and winning championships with top-tier luminaries like Richard Childress, Ty and Austin Dillon, Dale McDowell, and Scott Bloomquist. His time in the racing industry cultivated his values of teamwork, efficiency, and determination, as well as providing him ample opportunities in the realms of land conservation, big game hunting, live bait fishing, and wilderness protection with his Childress Racing teammates.In 2018 Jesse relocated to Chattanooga to bring his years of experience and passion for the outdoors to pursue a career as a land broker. His personal experience with conservation and gentleman farming was invaluable to his clients as they seek their own opportunities in land ownership, development, and management. As 2019 approached Jesse and his brother John came together and forged New Bloom Labs. At first Jesse continued his real estate duties as he learned the hemp business by attending trade shows, marketing functions, and contributing during heavy volume at the lab. 2020 brings Jesse full-time at New Bloom and he heads the company's expansion into Texas. He brings all of his years of experience in multiple fields to assemble a remote laboratory location with utmost efficiency. He is most eager to get on the road and meet hemp producers all over the United States. Visit New Bloom Labs.

Hi, all:Just Andy this time, with a Thursday edition bonus episode, in which I talk with Brian Hioe of New Bloom, a bilingual online magazine with radical analysis of Taiwan and East Asia. On Monday, New Bloom published an explainer essay on the very confusing phenomenon of “tankies,” aka people who argue that the true leftist position is to support the Chinese Communist Party as a check on US imperialism. Most famously, tankies denounce the Hong Kong protests as bourgeois and right-wing, as puppets of US empire.Their statements are at once funny and depressing, amusing and exhausting. I think Brian and I agree, though, that they are worth taking seriously because they reflect a very real set of tensions in global politics—with few clear solutions.Whom do we “side with” in an increasingly closed-off, nationalistic world? Must critics of US foreign policy — and the long history of Euro-American colonialism and imperialism — choose other states to support instead? For a Gen Z critical of free-market neoliberalism, what “actually existing” alternatives are there to global capitalism?The New Bloom piece explores these questions by examining the mysterious Qiao Collective, whose members ostensibly belong to the left-nationalist Chinese diaspora. When it comes to the Asian diaspora (though not unique to it), there is the always fun, extra ingredient of confused identity and an unfulfilled sense of belonging, heightened by local xenophobic rhetoric.Given these factors, Brian fears that tankie ideology may continue to spread.Issues we touch on:Are Hong Kong’s protests “right-wing” if their citizens espouse xenophobia?Is the category “diaspora,” or huaqiao 華僑, good or bad?The Orientalism and self-orientalizing of tankiesTankies and US Republicans as bizarro mirror images of one anotherIs there potential for common dialogue? With tankies or with the everyday people of China?!!!Links:New Bloom: “The Qiao Collective and Left Diasporic Chinese Nationalism”Today (June 25) marks the 70-year anniversary of the start of the Korean War. KAP SEOL reminds us, “The US Didn’t Bring Freedom to South Korea — Its People Did” (Jacobin).The Critical China Scholars group (new site) will hold the 2nd of two webinars next Thursday (July 2) on the topic of “Against Racism and Nationalism.” Register at eventbrite here.A developing story worth monitoring is the border dispute between China and India, about one week old now. In India, there is now a call to boycott Chinese goods (most recently by hotels (SCMP), but analysts in India are skeptical if it’s even possible (The Quint). Worth paying attention to, if only because of the recent calls by other countries to decouple from China.Under-the-radar news: the Trump administration this week exploited the coronavirus pandemic to extend a ban on multiple visas into the US, from “high-skilled” (H-1B) to seasonal labor (H-2B) and other categories. Early analysis here (Common Dreams).Part of the hopeful wave of primary victories this week, Yuh-Line Niou successfully defended her seat against challenger Grace Lee in the Democratic primary for New York’s 65th Assembly District (including Wall Street and Chinatown). Beyond the superficial similarities of two Asian-American women running in the Democratic party, the two candidates represented different constituencies and political visions, a microcosm of the ongoing fight between liberals and progressives within the party (The Indypendent): As always, feedback, questions, and comments are welcome.

This is a conversation with Brian Hioe, one of the founding editors of New Bloom Magazine which came out of Taiwan's 2014 Sunflower Movement, in which Brian also participated. The topics covered in this episode are numerous which is why I really wanted to have Brian on and use his encyclopedic knowledge of Taiwan and the region to give us an overview of the complicated history and recent political developments of Taiwan - and why they matter. This is the second episode in The Fire These Times' series focusing on Hong Kong, China and Taiwan. The first episode was with JP of the Hong Kong leftwing collective Lausan. By the end of this episode you would have hopefully gained a better idea of Taiwan's political history and more recent developments. Brian spoke about: The 2014 Sunflower Movement and its significance, including the impact that Occupy Wall Street had on it; The role of independent media including New Bloom and its associated Day Break project; The subsequent elections (2016 and 2020) and their significance; Taiwan's generational shift, with younger generations increasingly identifying as Taiwanese and not Chinese; The multi-faceted relationship between Hongkongers and Taiwanese, especially the younger generations involved in protest movements in both countries; Taiwan's very complicated relationship to the 'international community', here referring to the United Nations and its various bodies as well as other nation states; The role of UN agencies including the World Health Organisation in erasing Taiwanese identity, recently highlighted by Taiwan's succesful handling of the COVID19 Pandemic; China's role in trying to de-facto annex Taiwan including the possibility of a military invasion; The failures of China's stated 'one country, two systems' policy'; Taiwan's indigenous history as well as its past under Japanese occupation; The waves of Chinese migrations to Taiwan including the KMT-lead one in December 1949 - following the Communist Party of China's victory in the Chinese Civil War - which produced a sort of 'sub-ethnic' group of people that include Brian himself; The KMT's decades-long one-party rule of Taiwan as a right-wing dictatorship backed by the United States and other countries; The 1970s UN resolution recognizing the People's Republic of China (PRC) as "the only legitimate representative of China to the United Nations", hence unrecognizing Taiwan; and I also spoke a bit about some of the similarities between Taiwan and Lebanon.

Welcome back to Growing With North Carolina Farms! In Episode 5 we interview Natalie Siracusa from New Bloom Labs with a focus on terpene profiles, how to take a good sample, and what beneficial properties different terpenes bring to your hemp. Some of the highlights include: What should you look for on a terpene report? Is there a market for extracted terpenes? How do you cut and dry the perfect sample for terpene testing? What are the different terpene analytes and what are their aromatics and properties? How do you read the measurements on a report, and what do all those acronyms mean? How does Natalie view the "future of terpenes"? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable.

Live from Taipei, New Bloom editor Brian Hioe on COVID-19 politics in Taiwan, and in a Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen follows a TV doctor's trail of snake oil.

For this special installment of Radio New Bloom, hosted by New Bloom editor Garrett Dee, we spoke with Palau-based journalist Bernadette Carreon about responses to COVID-19 in Palau, and aid from Taiwan to Palau regarding efforts to fight COVID-19, particularly regarding attempts by the Taiwanese government to export its model of dealing with public health issues to other countries

We were overjoyed to speak w. Dr. Wen Liu, one of the founding members of the progressive organization- New Bloom (Taiwan) and a member of the Decolonial Left Organization - Lausan (Hong Kong). Our conversation explores how Taiwan has functioned as a Queer Casablanca, offering a space for solidarity and exploration for pan-Asian queerness within a still Hetronormative and Heteronationalist Asia. We also discuss Taiwan's current government in relation to Queerness, the country's path to Same-Sex Marriage and the obstacles remaining to intersectional queerness in the country. Plus we talk briefly w. Writer Chason Dailey on the complicated situation for expats and whiteness in the time of Covid-19. Like many he is stuck between the country he's from and fears return to (The United States) and the country where he is not a citizen but wishes to remain (Taiwan). Taiwan has (since our conversation) extended all visas for foreigners for 30 days in an act of grace and mercy. What happens after those 30 days expire, controls the fate of many, including Chason. Let's hope they continue to be world leaders in nuance and empathy during this Pandemic.

I caught up with the indomitable Brian Hioe (@brianhioe) for a reflection on Taiwan's 2020 elections, Media bias (both domestic and Western), thoughts on 'Populism' in Taiwan's elections and how Tsai Ing-wen's re-election was seen by a Hong Kong movement fighting for Democracy. On January 25th, Brian will be presenting in the China Question Symposium, at NYC's Verso Loft. He's one of the most brilliant and empathetic voices I've encountered on the Left, and I highly recommend seeing him in person if you have a chance. For brilliant Video interviews New Bloom did with Taiwan Progressives, head here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCopBHfUawiLXgtpDqeSzihg For more on Taiwan's elections I would recommend Brian's work in New Bloom and Popula.

With protests erupting throughout Hong Kong (over 1 million people on June 9th!) We recorded an emergency podcast with Brian Hioe, Founder of New Bloom Magazine.
