After fights broke out in Taiwan's legislative yuan on May 17th sending several legislators to the hospital, the public gathered in protest outside of the legislative yuan. There have been over 30,000, 100,000 and 70,000 people gathered at three of the major protests which are being called the Bluebird movement. The name is a play on the name of the road nearby the legislative yean where protests began (青島東路). Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/bluebird-movement-3-experts-discuss-the-controversial-bills-leading-to-protests-at-the-legislative-yuan-ep-286/ I spoke with Taipei Times columnist Michael Turton and his son Sebastian on May 27th about the controversial bills that have caused such widespread dissent. Sebastian shared what he saw at the protests in Taipei on Tuesday, May 22 and Friday, May 24. I also spoke with Sean Su after a set of the controversial legislative reform bills passed on May 28th. There have been protests all over Taiwan in 15 different cities, and even globally. The New York Bluebird, a group of politically conscious New York City-based Taiwanese have worked with Keep Taiwan Free to raise funds for a billboard in New York's Times Square to promote awareness of the Bluebird movement. The billboard will appear on Tuesday, June 4 at 6:00pm.   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/bluebird-movement-3-experts-discuss-the-controversial-bills-leading-to-protests-at-the-legislative-yuan-ep-286/

During the Talking Taiwan Election Tour we planned to host 2 in-person events for our guests, supporters and friends.

We started off talking to JD Chang from episode 80 about Crushing the Myth. Next up was John Eastwood  who talked about legal reforms needed in Taiwan in ep 203. We also talked about the election results in Taiwan's legislature that had the KMT with 52 seats, the DPP with 51 seats and the TPP with 8 seats and 2 seats going to Independents John shared his thoughts on Ko Wen-je the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) candidate and how he's managed to attract younger voters. The subject of Bi-Khim Hsiao Taiwan's former ambassador to the U.S. and now vice president elect also came up. Here's what John thought would be some of the challenges that Bi-Khim might face in the role of vice president We next spoke with Jerome Keating who talked about understanding the history of Taiwan in Ep 97. Jerome shared his thoughts on Bi-Khim Hsiao Jerome explained why he wrote in his recent Taipei Times article that he doesn't expect the TPP, the Taiwan People's Party to survive to the next presidential election in 2028. Jerome also shared his thought on the younger voting demographic that Ko Wen-je attracted.  And finally at the end of the night Kaju and I talked to TH Schee who's been on Talking Taiwan several times, and who's one of the investors of 4SC Crossfit where we held our January 19th event.  Toward the end of the event Kaju got into a discussion with TH Schee about 4SC CrossFit.   Related Links:  https://talkingtaiwan.com/live-conversations-with-our-past-guests-at-4sc-crossfit-in-new-taipei-city-taiwan-ep-273/

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. In the Related Links section below, we'll share Michael's Taipei Times article about the Kuomintang presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih's support of the 1992 Consensus. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/michael-turton-tapei-times-columnist-talks-about-the-1992-consensus-ep-257/   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   ·       The meeting in Hong Kong in 1992 between the Kuomintang (KMT) and People's Republic of China (PRC) from which the term 1992 Consensus came ·        According to the KMT the two sides agreed that Taiwan was a part of China, but agreed to disagree on what China Taiwan was a part of ·       China insists that the One China principle means the People's Republic of China ·       How Ma Ying-jeou, as Minister of Justice said that the People's Republic of China wouldn't accept any of the Kuomintang's rational proposals, but later a president he said there was an agreement ·       How the KMT and PRC met throughout the 1990s until 1999 when President Lee Teng-hui described the relationship between Taiwan and China as state-to-state ·       The phrase 1992 Consensus doesn't appear in the PRC until around 1997 ·       The phrase 1992 Consensus became popular in 2000 around the time of Taiwan's presidential election, which was a three-way race between Chen Shui-bian, Lien Chan and James Soong ·       How the KMT have tried to use the 1992 Consensus to put a cage around the Democratic Progressive Party's foreign policy ·       The 1992 Consensus was an agreement reached between the unelected parties of two authoritarian states ·       After martial law was lifted in Taiwan it was replaced by something the KMT passed called the National Security Law, and pro-democracy dissidents were still jailed in Taiwan ·       In the 1990s there was a shift in the people of Taiwan's sense of identity as Taiwanese and a growing confidence in democracy ·       How western writers in the 1950s and 60s thought that the KMT would be marginalized as Taiwan democratized ·       How the KMT used the 1992 Consensus to cage Chen Shui-bian's foreign policy ·       How the KMT took the Republic of China out of the United Nations when recognition was switched from the Republic of China to the People's Republic of China as the representative of China ·       How the PRC has set rules about the usage of the term “1992 Consensus” in its media ·       A MAC (Mainland Affairs Council) poll from October 2022 had a 80% rejecting the 1992 Consensus ·       A Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation poll last year showed that 67% of people reject the 1992 Consensus ·       How the term 1992 Consensus disappeared during President Tsai Ing-wen's administration ·       Why the KMT's presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih brought up the 1992 Consensus ·       How it's important to have balance so that one political party doesn't too big or corrupt in Taiwan Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/michael-turton-tapei-times-columnist-talks-about-the-1992-consensus-ep-257/

For our one year anniversary, we're taking you to Poland to tell you about the murder of Dariusz Janiszewski whose body was found floating in the Ober River in December of 2000. His case would be shelved after six months of no leads, but in 2003 a novel called Amok is published and it has a plot line that is eerily similar to Dariusz murder. Amok, though, is a work of fiction, it's just a coincidence. Or is it?For more information of the podcast, please visit our website at botdpod.comBlanco, J. I. (n.d.).

The tech race is well under way with China leaps and bounds ahead of the rest in 5G, the US blazing a trail in quantum computing, and AI a toss-up.

C'est une affaire d'hydrocarbures, encore une fois. En Grèce, les journaux s'interrogent sur les intentions de la Turquie qui relance ce mardi 9 août ses recherches de pétrole et de gaz naturel. Il y a deux ans déjà, une crise avait éclaté lorsque des navires turcs avaient effectué des recherches, sous escorte militaire, en zone contestée. Ce mardi, une toute nouvelle plateforme de forage turque prend le large depuis la province de Mersin, lors d'une cérémonie en présence de Recep Tayyip Erdogan, nous explique I Kathimerini qui parle d'un « spectacle ». Et la grande question – c'est même le « thriller » de ce mois d'août, ironise le journal grec – est : où cette plateforme va-t-elle naviguer afin d'effectuer des recherches ? Un autre média grec, Ta Nea, confirme. Le président turc a annoncé le 8 août le départ de la plateforme, mais il n'a pas dévoilé sa destination. Il doit le faire aujourd'hui justement. La plus grande plateforme de forage turque « Abdülhamid Khan », c'est son nom. Les médias turcs la présente en long, en large et en travers, vidéos et graphiques à l'appui sur le site d'Hürryiet notamment. Le journal Milliyet livre lui aussi ce qu'il juge être des « caractéristiques remarquables ». Neuf étages, 238 mètres de long, 42 mètres de large, Abdülhamid Khan peut forer à plus de 12 kilomètres de profondeur. C'est le quatrième navire de recherches turc, mais c'est « le plus fort de la flotte », s'enorgueillit Milliyet. Des plateformes semblables, « il n'y en a que 5 dans le monde ! », souligne le journal turc. La Grèce sur le qui-vive Quelle que soit la destination, Athènes est « prête pour n'importe quel scénario », affirme Kathimerini, bien que l'hypothèse dominante soit que la plateforme « se déplacera dans la zone autour de Chypre ». Un peu plus loin dans Kathimerini toujours, dans un billet intitulé « la géopolitique du forage », un professeur de droit international craint justement « une violation flagrante de la souveraineté de la République de Chypre », et il réaffirme la solidarité d'Athènes aux Chypriotes. Oui, un « éventuel épisode chaud », est à redouter, estime également To Vima. « Le scénario d'une guerre entre la Grèce et la Turquie est toujours une menace à l'horizon politique », analyse le journal grec. Car les relations entre les deux pays sont « restées dans l'état particulier de ni paix, ni guerre pendant des années. Mais quand une guerre se déclenche-t-elle ? La question occupe systématiquement la pensée politique depuis l'époque de Thucydide », conclut To Vima. Prolongation des exercices de la Chine autour de Taïwan Autres cieux, autres tensions. La Chine a prolongé, lundi 8 août, ses exercices militaires autour de Taïwan. Ce qui marque « une extension du calendrier précédemment annoncé », note le Global Times. Fidèle à la ligne du régime de Pékin, le journal chinois affirme que « les exercices de ce type ne s'arrêteront pas et devraient devenir une routine jusqu'à la réunification ». Selon le Global Times, la Chine continentale « montre ainsi sa détermination à faire avancer le processus de réunification après la visite provocatrice de la présidente de la Chambre des représentants américaine Nancy Pelosi sur l'île la semaine dernière ». Une visite « qui a gravement violé la souveraineté et l'intégrité territoriale de la Chine, selon les experts », affirme le journal chinois sans en citer aucun. À Taïwan, le Taipei Times et Taiwan News s'en inquiètent. En Allemagne, l'un des « plus grands scandales fiscaux d'après-guerre » C'est en ces termes que le présente Die Zeit. En Une également du Frankfurter Algemeine ou du Suddeütsche Zeitung : le procès d'Hanno Berger. À 71 ans, cet ancien avocat fiscaliste est jugé pour fraude fiscale. Après une cavale de près de 9 ans en Suisse, souligne le quotidien économique Handelsblatt qui revient sur « l'ascension et la chute » d'Hanno Berger. Un dossier connu comme l'affaire « CumEx ». Il risque 15 ans de prison, soupçonné d'être le cerveau de vastes montages financiers qui permettaient à des investisseurs d'échapper à l'impôt sur les dividendes un peu partout à travers le monde. En Allemagne notamment, il a « utilisé une faille dans la loi pour tromper l'État pendant des années », explique Die Zeit. Visé par trois procès, il a reconnu partiellement les faits qui lui sont reprochés ici. Hanno Berger aurait ainsi détourné quelque 278 millions d'euros aux contribuables allemands, mais à l'internationale, de nombreux États auraient subi un important préjudice. À l'époque où l'affaire avait été révélée par un consortium international de journaux, on parlait de près de 140 milliards de dollars au total. Un visage dans les journaux du monde entier  Le visage d'Olivia Newton-John est dans les kiosques du monde entier. On la voit en Italie, en Une du Corriere della Sera, de La Repubblica ou de La Stampa. Au Royaume-Uni, en Une du Times, du Guardian ou du Daily Mail. Hommage unanime à l'actrice américaine décédée après 30 ans de lutte contre un cancer du sein. « Hollywood pleure sa perte », écrit The Hollywood Reporter aux États-Unis. C'est bien entendu là-bas qu'elle s'est fait connaître, avec un film en particulier : le mythique Grease, comédie musicale de la fin des années 1970 avec John Travolta. Son visage est d'ailleurs souvent accolé à celui d'Olivia Newton-John aujourd'hui.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   In June I spoke with Gerrit van der Wees about an article that he wrote about U.S. President Biden's remarks about Taiwan when he was in Tokyo in May.   Just last week, Gerrit wrote a very timely article about the controversy over the U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's plans to visit Taiwan.  In April Pelosi had planned to visit Taiwan as part of a tour to the Indo Pacific region but had to cancel because she contracted COVID-19.   Last week Pelosi left with a delegation for Asia, but made no mention of visiting Taiwan. There had been speculation that the Chinese would attack if U.S. fighter jets escorted Pelosi's plane into Taiwan, and in a phone conversation with U.S. president Joe Biden, Chinese president Xi Jinping warned Biden against “playing with fire” over Taiwan.   In his piece for the Taipei Times, Gerrit stated that it is essential that Pelosi stands her ground and pushes through with her plan to visit Taiwan. We'll share Gerrit's Taipei Times article and a few others about this situation on our website for this episode.   In my interview with Gerrit I asked him to explain in detail what the Taiwan Relations Act is, and what it tells us about the relationship between the U.S. and Taiwan. We also talked about the so-called U.S. policy of strategic ambiguity, how his work on the Taiwan Communique evolved from 1980 to 2016, and his thoughts on the war in Ukraine, and how it relates to China and Taiwan.   About Gerrit van der Wees   Gerrit van der Wees is a former Dutch diplomat. From 1980 through 2016, he served as chief-editor of “Taiwan Communiqué.” Also, from 2005 through 2016 he was liaison for the Senate and the State Department at FAPA-HQ.  He currently teaches the History of Taiwan at George Mason University and Current issues in East Asia at George Washington University's Elliott School for International Affairs.   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:   U.S. President Joe Biden's remarks on the U.S.'s willingness to help defend Taiwan The Taiwan Relations Act, the document that contains US commitments to (help) defend Taiwan, and its first two clauses How U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken referred to the second clause of the Taiwan Relations Act in a speech he made at the end of May What the second clause of the Taiwan Relations Act says and means The background of the Taiwan Relations Act How Harvey Feldman of the East Asia Pacific desk of the U.S. State Department was involved in initially drafting the Taiwan Policy Act How in 1979 the U.S. Congress started drafting the Taiwan Relations Act which had security clauses and a human rights clause embedded within it How Senator Ted Kennedy, Senator Claiborne Pell, and Congressman Jim Leach were instrumental in drafting the Taiwan Relations Act and getting it passed in April 1979 The establishment of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) in January 1979 Mark Chen's (陳唐山) work with Senators and Congressmen to ensure that the Taiwan Relations Act took into consideration the native Taiwanese perspective The Taiwan Communique and why it was established How news from and about Taiwan while under martial law was obtained, communicated and printed in the Taiwan Communique How dangwai (outside party) magazines: Měilì dǎo aka Formosa Magazine (美麗島) and Bāshí niándài aka 1980s (8十年代) were sources of information for the Taiwan Communique How the George Washington University library has a complete collection of dangwai magazines from Taiwan The censorship of postal mail that was received in and sent out from Taiwan during the martial law era After the Taiwan democratized in the early 1990s the focus of the Taiwan Communique shifted to working to gain more international recognition for Taiwan What the “One China Policy” means from the perspective of the U.S. and China How the “One China Policy” which was based on the 1970s, a time in which Beijing and Taipei that claimed to be the government of China How things have changed since the 1970s, which requires an adjustment in policy to reflect current times What makes the Taiwan Relations Act so unique How Taiwan meets all the requirements of a nation state according to the Montevideo Convention of 1933 How Montevideo Convention states that the existence of an independent state does not depend on the recognition of other states When the United States of America declared independence in 1776 there were no other countries that recognized the new government in Washington D.C. for two years For the first 25 years of the United States of America it was only recognized by seven countries The Taiwan Travel Act Why the U.S. policy of strategic ambiguity toward Taiwan is not a policy How the term “strategic ambiguity” dates back to the mid-1990s Robert Suettinger's 2003 book, Beyond Tiananmen Gerrit's thoughts on the war in Ukraine and what China is taking away from the situation Gerrit's observations on how the war in Ukraine has impacted the people of Taiwan Things that Taiwan need to reconsider about its military strategy   Related Links: To view all related links for this article, click link below: https://talkingtaiwan.com/gerrit-van-der-wees-the-past-and-present-state-of-u-s-taiwan-relations-ep-199/

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   Russia's invasion of Ukraine has put the reality of war on display for the world, especially for Taiwan, which like Ukraine, has been under the constant threat of military aggression of an unfriendly neighbor. Because of the war that's been happening in Ukraine there's been talk of how Taiwan must improve its military defense capabilities and preparedness, but beyond this, there are people in Taiwan wondering what they themselves can do to be prepared, should Taiwan come under attack.   My guest on this episode of Talking Taiwan, T.H. Schee, a representative of Open Knowledge Taiwan, is one of those people asking these important questions.   We'd like to dedicate this episode to the memories of David Kilgour, who passed away on April fifth at the age of 81 and Peng Ming-min who passed away on April eighth at the age of 98. Mr. Kilgour, who I interviewed recently, was a human rights activist, and a former Member of Canada's Parliament, having served in the House of Commons for nearly 27 years, as Secretary of State for Latin America & Africa from 1997-2002, and Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific from 2002-2003.   Dr. Peng Ming-Min was a pro-Taiwan independence/pro-democracy activist. In 1964 he was arrested for sedition for drafting and printing a manifesto advocating for democracy in Taiwan, he served as president of the Formosan Association of Public Affairs from 1986 to 1988, and in 1996 he ran as a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate in Taiwan's first direct presidential election.   This episode of Talking Taiwan has been sponsored by the Taiwanese United Fund.   The Taiwanese United Fund is an arts and culture foundation that celebrates the cultural heritages of Taiwanese Americans. Established in 1986, the foundation's mission is to facilitate cultural exchange between the Taiwanese American community and other American cultural communities, hoping to enrich and expand our cultural experiences.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   A few months ago, before Taiwan went on COVID alert level 3, I spoke with Michael Turton, about biking around Taiwan. I remember when there was a push to make Taiwan more bike-friendly and it became popular for people to bike around the island or along the coast. Michael shared why he loves biking around Taiwan and how it is one of the best places to bike in the world. Surprisingly he advised avoiding cycling route number 1, which is the bicycle route around the island of Taiwan developed by the Taiwan Ministry of Transportation and Communications. He also talked about what he's learned about Taiwan's history and aborigines by biking around Taiwan.   Michael is a political commentator, Taipei Times columnist and blogger. We've had Michael on Talking Taiwan previously in episode 119 when he spoke with me about China's ban of Taiwan's pineapples.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   What brought Michael to Taiwan How/why he started biking Michael's website about Taiwan in the 1990s which led to his blog Blogs that have inspired him How he's learned things about Taiwan's local history and aborigines while biking around Taiwan How interacting with the land is a way to get to know the land How biking is a way to discover and learn about Taiwan Why Taiwan is one of the best places to bike Tips on how to get around the island easier with a bike How long it takes to bike around the entire island The lighthouse to lighthouse bike ride How he's able to track changes in Taiwan by regularly biking certain routes The difference between driving around in a car vs. riding around on a bike How Taiwan and Madagascar are the only tropical places in the world that have Badlands Where he recommends you should bike or not Taiwan's steep bike routes   Related Links:   Michael Turton's blog: http://michaelturton.blogspot.com/   U.S. Peace Corps: https://www.peacecorps.gov/   Michael Fahey: http://www.winklerpartners.com/?page_id=622   Scott Sommers/Summers: https://www.intellectbooks.com/scott-sommers   TC Lin's blog: http://poagao.org/pjournal/   Roland Soong's blog East West North South: http://www.zonaeuropa.com/weblog.htm   Andrew Kerslake's blog: https://taiwanincycles.blogspot.com/   The award winning Wikipedia page on Taiwan aborigines that Andrew Kerslake wrote: https://bit.ly/3qSTFbS   Bunun tribe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunun_people   The film, Island Etude: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_Etude   Yushan aka Jade Mountain (Taiwan's highest peak): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yu_Shan   Sun Moon Lake Swim: https://www.sunmoonlake.gov.tw/en/event/calendardetail/673   Sun Moon Lake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Moon_Lake   Taroko: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taroko_National_Park   https://wikitravel.org/en/Taroko_Gorge   Badlands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badlands   Moonscape area of Tainan aka Taiwan's Badlands: https://spectralcodex.com/exploring-the-badlands-of-southern-taiwan/   Taiwan Cycling Route 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Cycling_Route_No.1   Taipei Times article, “Ride to the clouds” by Mark Roche: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2021/03/11/2003753620   Mark Roche's Blue Sky Adventures: http://www.blueskiestaiwan.com/   Alishan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alishan_National_Scenic_Area   Alishan tea farms: https://www.teafromtaiwan.com/blog/alishan-tea-districts/

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   My guest on this episode of Talking Taiwan, Lisa Cheng Smith, has channeled her love of Taiwanese food, cooking and premium ingredients into creating Yun Hai Taiwanese Pantry.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   Michael Turton is a political commentator, writer and Taipei Times columnist based in Taichung, Taiwan.  I first learned about him through his long running blog, The View From Taiwan when I lived in Taiwan myself and started blogging about living there. I’ve invited him on to the podcast to talk about China’s recent ban of pineapples from Taiwan. We talked about what’s really behind the ban and how trade issues between China and Taiwan led to the 2014 Sunflower Movement and occupation of Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan building.   CORRECTION: At 1:28 when Michael says “over in Xiamen” he meant to refer to Fujian. There several towns in Fujian- Yongfu and Qingliu but not Xiamen, that are now using agricultural techniques learned from Taiwan. See link to the CommonWealth Magazine article, “Is Taiwan’s Farm Sector Selling Out to China” for reference.   Here’s a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: Why China banned pineapples imported from Taiwan What has happened since the ban How the ban will impact Taiwan What are the larger issues behind what happened and why China banned Taiwan’s pineapples What can people overseas can do to support Taiwan, aside from buying Taiwan pineapples How consumption is related to Taiwanese identity What trade issues with China have to do with the Sunflower Movement What precipitated the occupation of the Legislative Yuan building by the Sunflower Movement activists in March 2014 How the caucus system in Taiwan is set up to slow down the legislature The problems with Taiwan’s constitution How the spat between then President Ma Ying-jeou and Speaker Wang Jin-pyng contributed to the occupation of the Legislative Yuan by the Sunflower Movement activists in March of 2014 How the Sunflower Movement strengthened the Taiwanese identity of a generation that grew up in a democratic Taiwan vs. those who previously grew up under Kuomintang rule in the 1970s and 80s   Related Links:   Taipei Times article, “PRC bans import of Taiwan pineapples”: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2021/02/27/2003752913   Taipei Times article, “China pineapple ban offset in four days”: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2021/03/03/2003753138   Guardian article, “Taiwanese urged to eat ‘freedom pineapples’ after China import ban”: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/02/taiwanese-urged-to-eat-freedom-pineapples-after-china-import-ban?fbclid=IwAR226v7PM6yXUM7UqWsPOyD_jwwpkQNKWpyFnXakMYUgDbtTNJd_OKsWxgc   Taiwan News article, "Japanese with 'Taiwan pineapple fever' empty store shelves": https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4145007?fbclid=IwAR0TLArguULOz7Y3iiZ0VIBHRjFrChPosZu8-fTbqxSJGxAnw6AKe7ANE1g   CommonWealth Magazine article, “Is Taiwan’s Farm Sector Selling Out to China”: https://english.cw.com.tw/article/article.action?id=965   Michael Turton’s podcast, Taiwan Context: https://anchor.fm/taiwancontext/episodes/Taiwan-Context--Human-Rights-Defender-epmtsm   Michael Turton’s blog, The View From Taiwan: https://michaelturton.blogspot.com/   Ian Rowen’s research on Chinese tour groups in Taiwan: https://cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/blogs.ntu.edu.sg/dist/f/1564/files/2017/12/Rowen-2014-Tourism-as-territorial-strategy-x64350.pdf   Sunflower Movement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflower_Student_Movement   An article about Taiwan’s pineapple industry in 1960: https://taiwantoday.tw/news.php?unit=8%2C8%2C29%2C32%2C32%2C45&post=14054&fbclid=IwAR1bP4UHEg3rbTacOf9g9N4lPd7rQaSPFOWrcc1lR6a4GMIWV3KuOH6JV8I  

Welcome to the Moderate Voice of America. Our story today begins with the United States' recent arms sale to Taiwan. According to the Taipei Times, “four Weapons-Ready MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft and related equipment for an estimated cost of US$600 million.” Although it is a sign of strong relations between Taiwan and the United States, it augments the concern over our relationship with China.  It then makes us question, what happens with the United States in East Asia? Our relationship is at an all-time low with China and is in a difficult position of making things better. Is Taiwan better protected with an arms deterrence against Taiwan? What does it mean for the United States' relationship with the People's Republic of China?  --- 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/derek-gutierrez7/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/derek-gutierrez7/support

The government says no coronavirus lockdown needed for now. Taiwan sports standing tall on the world stage. Waving Taiwan flag legal at sporting events, then not legal say different courts. What is Johnny Chiang up to with Han Kuo-yu? TSMC gets the message. China Airlines' name change may take a while. Taiwan moves to stop Chinese online streaming services. Chinese knock off Taiwan facemasks donated to Japan. The PRC launches the second amphibious assault ship. Taiwan and New Zealand may be getting closer. Foreign Minister says China sold to Paraguay, didn't donate. Finally, some good news from the Vatican.

The CECC sends messages to crowded areas to tell people to keep away from each other and other coronavirus updates. The Taipei Times runs an editorial with creative ideas on how to build consensus on a new name for China Airlines and what to replace the "Republic of China" with on the passports. The second stage results of the Han recall signature drive will be announced in less than two weeks. Foreign Minister Wu takes Hong Kong to task. Some citizens are pushing Taiwan to go to the moon, and finally, a strict application of police procedures leads to a situation that seems more like a parody.

I’ve already done a video on all the iPhone 11 rumors that have been floating around since… well, roughly 42 nanoseconds after the iPhone XS was introduced. But this year, perhaps more than any other, the iPhone 11 rumors just keep coming and almost all of them focus on the new camera system coming with it. And it makes total sense. The iPhone XS has a good camera and a terrific video camera, but since it was announced Google has released the Pixel 3 with Night Vision, Samsung has put out the Galaxy S10 with a three camera system, and Huawei has escalated with a periscope lens and time of flight system. Competition is fierce. So, how is Apple planning to retaliate? SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to http://brilliant.org/vector and sign up for free. First 200 people get 20% off the premium course!

Co-hosts Jan Rutherford and Jim Vaselopulos interview Josh Spodek, an Adjunct Professor at NYU, leadership coach, workshop leader for Columbia Business School, columnist for Inc., founder of Spodek Academy, and author of Leadership Step by Step (launching February 2017). Josh talks about how academic teachings failed to prepare him for entrepreneurship, and how learning a theory is insufficient without practicing it.  They discuss the critical need for emotional intelligence, and psychological safety, and how they can be developed, and the techniques Josh uses to strengthen them.  Listen in to learn more about leadership practices, releasing passion, changing beliefs, and nurturing teams.   Key Takeaways [2:59] Josh is concerned that academic education is emotionally and socially passive. At Ivy League schools, Josh learned was intellectually challenged, but he was not taught socially and emotionally. Josh had trouble working with others when he founded his first company. His leadership was ineffective during the recession, and investors forced him out as CEO. [10:34] Reading books, and learning theory, but not learning how to practice the theory, you might as well read about weights, but not actually lifting weights. Josh wanted a place to teach leadership. For Spodek Academy, Josh researched fields that show leadership, to learn from their techniques. He created exercises, tested and refined them, to teach sensitivity to others’ emotions. [18:32] Joshua cites exercises by Marshall Goldsmith, such as “FeedForward,” and “No, But, However,” that taught him so much about listening and empathy. Small changes in behavior change your worldview. Josh organized Goldsmith’s exercises, and others, into a progression of learning, with each exercise being more challenging, and all tied together. [19:58] One exercise is to write down your inner monolog, the voice inside your head — not what you’re thinking about, but the actual words. A later exercise is to speak your inner monolog. That’s scary, because people hear it. It turns out to be authentic, and people respond genuinely. Further exercises are to write your mental model (what creates the inner monolog), and models of others. [25:12] We’ve all been hurt. When part of your identity is mocked, you can’t get rid of it, but you can hide it. We don’t get hurt by casual acquaintances, but by people close to us. We learn to close off our vulnerabilities. Leaders who learn to get people to get past vulnerability to share their passion can get them to engage in their work, for purposes about which they are passionate. [26:50] Jim talks about psychological safety, determined by Google’s Project Aristotle to be the number one key performance driver of high performing teams. With psychological safety, it is easier to have discussions in touch with your inner monolog. Josh says Laszlo Bock’s research at Google revealed the need for our educational system to educate to emotional intelligence. [29:47] Josh teaches adopting a challenging belief, in Unit 2 of Leadership Step by Step. Unit 1 is Understand Yourself. Unit 2 is Lead Yourself. A leader needs to know that beliefs affect how people view the world. Two people, looking at one thing, see two things. To change motivation, change belief. Joshua describes changing the “dandelion belief,” to the “burning building belief.” [33:36] If you can look at a difficult problem from a different perspective, and solve it that way, you have an additional way to solve problems, or more intelligence. Helping someone change a belief is simpler than convincing them of something. The progression in the book is, understand your belief, adopt a challenging belief, understand other’s belief, and help them adopt a belief. [37:48] Visiting North Korea taught Josh about himself. Seeing pictures of Kim Jong Il everywhere, and tuning them out, made him wonder what he tunes out here in the U.S. It hit him, that advertising and brands are what he tunes out. We incorporate into our reality things that are actually aspects of our external culture. Sometimes it takes an outsider perspective to see it. [40:48] Josh teaches entrepreneurs, when they find an industry where everybody has the same fixed beliefs, it is a huge opportunity, especially when the beliefs do not match the interests of the market. The more fixed the belief, the more the opportunity. Google is an example. Before Google were simple site aggregators, like Alta Vista. Google tried to sell “search” for $1 million.

News correspondents are the eyes and ears of the outside world on the Korean peninsula. We wanted to know more about their work and were lucky to interview Elise Hu, who recently established National Public Radio (NPR)’s bureau in Seoul and now serves as NPR’s International Correspondent for Japan and the Korean Peninsula. We talked about NPR’s rationale for choosing Seoul as its new permanent regional bureau, journalism as practiced in the United States and South Korea, and some of her most memorable stories here in Seoul. Elise Hu joined NPR in 2011 as the coordinator of StateImpact Network, a state government reporting project by NPR member stations. Before joining NPR, she was one of the founding reporters of the Texas Tribune, a nonprofit digital news startup, and worked as state political reporter for local networks in Texas and South Carolina. She also reported from Asia for the Taipei Times. Elise Hu is the recipient of several distinctions, including a Gannett Foundation Award for Innovation in Watchdog Journalism. She has taught at Georgetown University and Northwestern University and also advises the John S. and James L. Knight foundation, a private, nonprofit foundation dedicated to the promotion of quality journalism and media innovation. Elise Hu graduated with honors from the University of Missouri-Columbia’s School of Journalism.
