Although global attention is focused on the upcoming US presidential election in November 2024, a key regional election looms much sooner — the Taiwanese presidential election on 13 January. The contest to succeed the term-limited President Tsai Ing-Wen has already seen intrigue and drama, with four candidates vying for Taiwan's highest office and, at one stage, two of them mulling a joint bid to unseat the ruling Democratic Progressive Party. Frontrunner and current vice president William Lai's views on independence have been the source of much discussion and, with high tensions in the Taiwan Strait and belligerent rhetoric from Beijing, the results of the election will hold significant implications for the entire region.How might the election affect cross-strait relations? What are the possible implications of the election for Australia? How could the election shift Taiwan policies in Washington and other allied capitals?To answer these questions, USSC hosted a panel discussion with Lowy Institute Senior Fellow for East Asia Richard McGregor, USSC Non-Resident Senior Fellow Dr Lavina Lee and USSC CEO Dr Michael Green in conversation with USSC Research Director Jared Mondschein, with opening remarks from Taiwanese Representative to Australia Douglas Hsu.Douglas Hsu is Taiwan's Representative to Australia. He was previously Director General of North American Affairs within Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served in the Political and Congressional Liaison divisions of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States.Richard McGregor is a Senior Fellow for East Asia at the Lowy Institute and a Senior Associate (Non-resident) at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in the United States. He is a former Beijing and Washington bureau chief for the Financial Times and the author of numerous books on East Asia.Dr Lavina Lee is a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the United States Studies Centre and a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Security Studies and Criminology at Macquarie University, Sydney.

Reflecting on the eight years she spent filming Invisible Nation, Vanessa Hope talks about why Taiwan and Tsai Ing-wen matter for democracies worldwide and how she approached telling Taiwan's story.

Taiwan has held a presidential election, and the Democratic Progressive Party has won a third term, with current vice-president Lai Chinge-Te succeeding Tsai Ing-Wen later this year. And while his victory is seen as one of continuing democratic values on the island, Lai will need to rely on his political opponents to govern, and that's without mentioning the China-sized problem across the Taiwan strait. Guest: Professor Bec Strating (Director, La Trobe Asia, La Trobe University) Recorded on 29th January, 2024.

eklendiği gibi 13 Ocak'taki Tayvan'da Başkanlık seçimlerini iktidardaki “Demokratik İlerleme Partisi”nin(DPP) adayı Lai Ching-te kazandı. Bu sonuçtan Çin mutsuz, ABD ise mutlu oldu. Ne ki “DPP” Tayvan Meclisindeki çoğunluğunu kaybetti. 113 üyeli Mecliste 52 vekil kazanan “Kuomin-tang(KMT)” ise “DPP”nin önüne geçti. “KMT”ye yakın iki bağımsız aday da Meclis'e girdi. “DPP 51” vekille ikinci, “Tayvan Halk Partisi” ise 8 vekille üçüncü parti oldu. Diğer yandan Tayvanlı seçmenlerin yüzde 60'ının Lai'ye oy vermediğini belirtmek gerekiyor. Meclis'te değişen dengeler sebebiyle Lai'nin istediği yasaları çıkarması için her iki partiyle uzlaşması gerekiyor. Böylece “Tayvan Halk Partisi” Mecliste “anahtar parti” rolü kazandı. Pekin'in Başkanlık seçimlerini kazanmasını umduğu “Kuomintang” seçim kampanyasını “Barış istiyorsan KMT'yi, savaş istiyorsan DPP'yi seç” söylemiyle sürdürmüştü. Ancak Lai'nin Başkan Tsai Ing-Wen'in “Çin ile gerilimi yönetme, ABD ile bağları sıkılaştırma” politikasını devam ettirmesi bekleniyor. Mevcut durumda bile Tayvan-Pekin ilişkisi ziyadesiyle gergin. 13 Ocak seçimlerinden sonra bir gelişme daha yaşandı. Pasifik'teki ada ülkelerinden “Nauru” Tayvan ile diplomatik ilişkisini kestiğini açıkladı. Bu karar Pekin'in Tayvan'ı diplomatik olarak tecrit etme girişimlerinin yeni bir halkasıydı. Nauru hariç, 2016'dan bu yana 9 ülke Tayvan ile ilişkisini kesti. Halihazırda Vatikan dahil, sadece 12 ülke Tayvan'ı tanımaya devam ediyor. Çin ile rekabetinde Tayvan'ı sıçrama tahtası olarak gören ABD bile Tayvan'ı diplomatik olarak tanımıyor. “Soğuk Savaş” döneminde “Sovyetler Birliği”nin etrafındaki çemberi daraltmak için Pekin'le yakınlaşan ABD, 1971'de BM'den çıkarılan Tayvan'ı resmen ortada bırakmış idi. ABD'de Çin'in en erken 2027'de, en geç 2030'da Tayvan'ı işgal edeceğine dair bir kampanya yürütülüyor. Amerika'daki Çin karşıtı şahinler, Pekin'in Tayvan adasını işgal etmek için askerî gücünü ABD ile baş edebilecek düzeye getirmeye odaklandığını savunuyorlar. Şahinlere göre mevcut durumda bile Çin donanması ABD donanmasıyla savaşacak güce ulaşmış bulunuyor. Trump döneminde “Ulusal Güvenlik Danışmanı” olarak görev yapan Robert O'Brien 14 Aralık 2023'te “National Review”da yayınlanan bir yazısında “Amerikan Kongresi”ndeki iki partinin yeni donanma gemilerinin inşası için mutabakata varmalarını şiddetle tavsiye ediyordu. Çin'e kıyasla ABD donanmasının çok vahim durumda olduğuna dikkat çeken O'Brien şöyle diyordu: “Deniz gücü ve deniz güvenliği için kritik öneme sahip bir sektörde Çin'in dünya lideri olmasına izin verdik. ABD derhal kamu ve özel gemi inşa kapasitesini yeniden canlandırmalıdır. Eğer bunu yapmazsak, Çin hiç şüphesiz Tayvan'ı işgal etme tehdidini gerçekleştirecek, Çin Donanması Güney Çin Denizi'ni kontrol edecek, birinci ada zincirindeki sulara hakim olacak, ABD ve müttefiklerine meydan okuyacaktır.” ABD için mesele Tayvan değil. Tayvan, ABD'nin Çin ile “Büyük Güç Rekabeti”nde jeo-politik ve jeo-ekonomik unsurlardan sadece birisi. Asıl mesele, Çin'in ekonomik-askerî yükselişini durdurmak. ABD'nin temel politikası, küresel hegemonik konumunu tehlikeye atabilecek bir rakibin ortaya çıkmasını engellemek. Bu bağlamda Çin, ABD için ‘seçilmiş düşman' rolünde.

Sheik Hasina vant som ventet massivt i Bangladesh 7. januar. Hun er verdens lengstsittende kvinnelige statsminister. Hun regjerer i et land med nesten 175 millioner innbyggere og en eventyrlig økonomisk vekst det siste tiåret, men all grunn til å frykte for utviklingen i det demokratiske sinnelaget hos det sittende regimet. Den kvinnelige motkandidaten Khaleda Zia og hennes konservative parti, BNP - boikottet igjen valget. Både Sheik Hasina og Khaleda Zia er etterlatte etter politiske attentat mot henholdsvis frigjøringshelten fra da Bangladesh ble selvstendig i 1971, Sheik Mujibur Rahman, faren til Hasina, og Ziamur Rahman ektemannen til Khalida, som styrte landet fram til de ble drept i hhv 1975 og 1981.Så den 13. januar er det et nervepirrende valg i Taiwan, hvor Kina rasler med sablene og truer i bakgrunnen. Det er tre parti som har presidentkandidater med merkbar oppslutning, DPP, KMT og TPP. Det er de to førstes kandidater som kan vinne, og der DPP er vendt mot Vesten og USA, er KMT mer lent mot Kina. Dagens posisjon stiller med visepresidenten som ny kandidat, og valget er blitt mye jevnere enn de foregående valgene, hvor sittende president Tsai Ing-Wen vant med over 50% av stemmene. Taiwan praktiserer simpelt flertall, slik at med tre aktuelle kandidater, kan man vinne med 34% av stemmene, uten at det går til ny valgomgang mellom de to med flest stemmer. Målingene har jevnet seg ut mellom DPPs Lai og KMTs Hou, og de siste 10 dagene er det forbudt med nye målinger, så det er stor spenning for utfallet, og ikke minst hvordan Kina vil reagere om favoritten DPP og Lai vinner.Vi kan også avsløre nytt strategisk samarbeid for podcasten.

Terry Gou, the founder of Foxconn Technology Group, one of Apple's biggest contract manufacturers, which is also expanding its operations in India, is entering the contest to be Taiwan's next president as an independent candidate, with elections due in 2024. Gou is widely seen as an advocate of Taiwan's return to the “One China” framework and for cross-Strait talks to resume between China and Taiwan that broke down in 2016. While pundits don't expect him to win, a more pro-China government in Taiwan could have some implications for India from geopolitics to the country's nascent EV sector. Intel plans to release a new data centre chip next year, brand named Sierra Forrest, that will handle more than double the amount of computing work that can be done for each watt of power used, Reuters reports.  Asus yesterday refuted a report from earlier this week out of Taiwan that it would pull the plug on its Zenfone series of Android smartphones, 9To5Google reports. Terry Gou, the founder of Foxconn Technology Group, one of Apple's biggest contract manufacturers, which is also expanding its operations in India, is entering the contest to be Taiwan's next president as an independent candidate, with elections due in 2024. While the pundits don't expect the 73-year-old entrepreneur to win, with the current Vice President William Lai of the Democratic Progressive Party seen as the popular candidate, Gou's entry is significant due to his more conciliatory approach towards China. “The era of entrepreneur's rule” has begun, CNBC quoted him as saying at one of the election rally style gatherings he's been addressing lately. “I will definitely not allow Taiwan to become the next Ukraine,” he said at a press conference, Associated Press reported yesterday. Gou founded Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, in 1974 in Taipei, Taiwan. From making electrical components and parts for television sets, the company has grown to become one of the world's largest and most influential electronics manufacturers for customers including Apple, Microsoft and Sony. In 2022 about 70 percent of $215 billion equivalent of Foxconn's revenue came from China, according to the Wall Street Journal. In an opinion for Washington Post in July, Gou disagreed with what he described as the policy of the current Taiwanese government, under President Tsai Ing-Wen, to walk away from the One-China framework. In his view, Taiwan's long-term future rests with the Chinese. A more pro-China government in Taiwan has significance for India, from giving China greater ability to project its geopolitical power in the Indo-Pacific region to the potential impact on India's electronics supply chain. Foxconn entered India in 2006 and set up its first factory in the country at Sriperumbudur, near Chennai. Today the company's operations range from assembling the latest iPhones to supplying parts for India's electric vehicle startups such as Ather Energy in Bengaluru. The company is investing billions of dollars in India, which is looking to establish its own semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. Foxconn pulled out of a semiconductor fab partnership with India's Vedanta Group recently, citing delays, which is seen as a bit of a setback for India's ambitions in this sector, but the Taiwanese company has said it remains committed to growth in India.

C dans l'air l'invité du 28 avril avec Wandrille Lanos, journaliste et réalisateur de "Taiwan une nation interdite" diffusé dimanche 7 mai à 21 heures sur France 5. Depuis son arrivée au pouvoir en 1949, un des projets fondamentaux du Parti communiste chinois est de restaurer la pleine souveraineté et l'intégrité territoriale de la Chine. La « pièce manquante » de cette Chine unique est la petite île de Taïwan. Depuis un demi-siècle, la Chine revendique cette île peuplée de 23 millions d'habitants comme une de ses provinces. Ces dernières années, et encore davantage ces derniers mois, la tension permanente entre les deux voisins s'est intensifiée, au point que les militaires chinois sont aujourd'hui appelés « à se préparer à la guerre ». Des relations entre Pékin et Taipei qui se sont fortement détériorées depuis la prise de fonction en 2016 de la présidente taïwanaise Tsai Ing-Wen, dont le parti, le DPP, qui revendique l'autonomie de fait de Taïwan, et qui font planer la menace d'une nouvelle guerre. Si Taïwan déclare l'indépendance, la Chine assure qu'elle lancera l'assaut. Si la Chine s'empare de Taïwan par la force, les États-Unis pourraient intervenir pour respecter d'une part leur accord de défense des Taïwanais et d'autre part leurs intérêts stratégiques dans la région. Mais ces menaces de guerre sont-elles aujourd'hui plausibles ? La situation entre Taïwan et la Chine pourrait-elle réellement déboucher sur un troisième conflit mondial ? Ce film raconte le mystère taiwanais de 1949 à aujourd'hui. Offrant une plongée au cœur du détroit de Formose et un éclairage historique et géopolitique complet sur la situation en mer de Chine, il fait le récit de la construction de l'île en un objet politique hybride : ni une région ni un pays, mais un territoire qui ose enfin se démarquer de la Chine et qui veut s'affranchir de la tutelle des Etats-Unis. Un peuple qui revendique désormais une identité singulière.

 This episode is a follow up on episode 233 that covered Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen's 48-hour transit through New York from March 29-31 en route to Central America.   When Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen left Taiwan to go on a ten-day state trip to Central America to meet with Taiwan's diplomatic allies Guatemala and Belize. She first transited through New York from March 29-31 en route to Central America. At the end of her trip she transited through Los Angeles from April 4-5th, where she met with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

All three of us were all there that day, on the afternoon of March 29th at the first major site of the protests, the Lotte New York Palace Hotel where President Tsai was staying.   Our discussion raised a lot of questions, like: How organized the PRC protestors were. How did they know President Tsai's itinerary in New York? As you'll hear from our conversation, the protestors seemed to know when and where to show up and make a scene.   On the other hand, how prepared was the Taiwanese American community? What did community do in response? And what can concerned Taiwanese Americans do to be better prepared in the future when a similar situation arises?   After President Tsai's 48-hour transit in New York, she headed to Central America to meet with Taiwan's diplomatic allies Guatemala and Belize.   At the end of her she transited through Los Angeles from April 4 to 5th and met with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy before returning to Taiwan. While in L.A. she was once again met with PRC protestors. Tim, Borcheng and I also talked about what happened in L.A.   This episode of Talking Taiwan has been sponsored by NATWA, the North America Taiwanese Women's Association.     NATWA was founded in 1988, and its mission is:   1. to evoke a sense of self-esteem and enhance women's dignity, 2. to oppose gender discrimination and promote gender equality, 3. to fully develop women's potential and encourage their participation in public affairs, 4. to contribute to the advancement of human rights and democratic development in Taiwan, 5. to reach out and work with women's organizations worldwide to promote peace for all.   To learn more about NATWA visit their website: www.natwa.com   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: ·         How Tim and Borcheng were involved in self-determination and pro-democracy demonstrations for Taiwan in the 1990s, when a thousand people or so could easily be gathered to show support ·         What motivated Tim to drive up from Baltimore to be in New York in time to welcome Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen when she arrived at the hotel she was staying during her 48-hour transit through New York ·         Why the bus from DC with Taiwanese American supporters of President Tsai wasn't able to make it to New York in time for President Tsai's arrival at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel where she was staying ·         What the scene was like and what happened prior to President Tsai Ing-wen's arrival at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel on March 29th ·         How Tim and Chi Chun Wang, the President of the Taiwanese Association of America Baltimore chapter spoke to some pro-democracy Chinese activists who said that the PRC (People's Republic of China) protestors were being paid $30 an hour ·         What happened outside of the Lotte New York Palace Hotel on March 29th before and when President Tsai Ing-wen arrived ·         How the PRC (People's Republic of China) protestors were organized and seemed to know President Tsai's itinerary while she was in New York ·         How Borcheng worked with TECRO and the NYPD (New York Police Department) on March 29th ·         How sound permits are required for the use of amplified sound in New York City ·         The NYPD's handling of the situation on March 29th ·         What the PRC protesters were saying about President Tsai and Taiwan ·         How prepared the Taiwanese American community was to respond by organizing counter protests ·         What happened on March 30th when President Tsai accepted the Global Leadership Award from the Hudson Institute ·         What happened on March 31st when President Tsai left her hotel in New York to go to Central America ·         What happened with the protests of President Tsai's visit to New York in 2019 ·         How one of Tim's tweets about the protests of President Tsai in New York on March 29 was misconstrued by someone ·         The questions about why pan-green supporters were waving ROC (Republic of China) flags and not green flags or other flags ·         Former President Ma Ying-jeou's visit to China ·         The protests during President Tsai's transit in Los Angeles (from April 4-5) ·         What happened when President Chen Shui-bian visited New York in 2000 and later years ·         What can concerned Taiwanese Americans, and supporters of Taiwan's democracy do to be better prepared in the future when a similar situation arises ·         How the NYPD and LAPD handled protests against President Tsai and Taiwan in New York and Los Angeles    Related Links: To view all related links for this article, click link below: https://talkingtaiwan.com/tim-chng-and-borcheng-hsu-the-day-president-tsai-ing-wen-met-protesters-from-the-peoples-republic-of-china-ep-235/  

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, we are joined by Mr. Randall Schriver to discuss Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's recent transit of the United States and broader cross-Strait issues. Mr. Schriver explains the context behind President Tsai's latest transit through the U.S. and what made this transit both in line with prior transits and unique and successful. Mr. Schriver suggests that it is still too early to see the full Chinese response, but concerns about Taiwan's presidential election next year could cause Beijing to have a muted reaction to Tsai's transit. Regardless of China's reaction, he sees the Taiwan-United States relationship continuing to strengthen into the future. Mr. Randall Schriver is the Chairman of the Board of the Project 2049 Institute and a strategic advisor to Pacific Solutions LLC. He is also a lecturer for Stanford University's “Stanford-in-Washington” program, is on the Board of Advisors to the Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA, and Board of Directors of the US-Taiwan Business Council. Prior to that, he was a founding partner of Armitage International LLC and Chief Executive Officer and President of the Project 2049 Institute. His civilian government roles have included Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Affairs and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs. 

Taiwan is keeping a close eye on a Chinese aircraft carrier after China condemned the meeting between Taiwan president Tsai Ing-Wen and U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy yesterday.

Mastercard's Steve Sadove breaks down the results. And, Warner Brothers is approaching its one-year anniversary of merging with Discovery as the streaming wars heat up. Wolfe Research's Peter Supino explains why he's bullish on the stock.

Tsai Ing-wen's so-called "transit" trip through United States has heightened cross-strait tensions. This move is seen by Beijing as a provocation to China's sovereignty. The most controversial part was Tsai's meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the successor of Nancy Pelosi who visited Taiwan last August. Using Taiwan as a pawn, will Washington's divide-and-conquer strategy against China reach "the point of no return?" Is Tsai Ing-wen helping or hurting the best interests of Taiwan?

Amidst rising tensions between China and the US, China has deployed warships near Taiwan, viewing the US visit by Taiwan's President as a provocation. Meanwhile, Taiwan's former president has visited China, stating "we are all Chinese." Are escalating tensions between the two superpowers, putting Taiwan at greater risk of Chinese aggression?

China is urging the United States not to facilitate meetings between U.S. officials and Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen.

Taiwan's first female president, Tsai Ing-Weng, arrived in New York yesterday to criticism from China. She is stopping over in the US on her way to Central America, but may meet with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on her return. China says that if it goes ahead, it could lead to a 'serious confrontation'.

This week, former Taiwanese president Ma Ying-jeou was on a trip through China as a private citizen, at the same time that Taiwan's current president, Tsai Ing-wen, was in the United States. Tsai's unofficial visit sparked diplomatic anger from Beijing, which considers the self-ruled, democratic island as part of its territory. We take a closer look.

Le dirigeant chinois Xi Jinping l'a à nouveau martelé dimanche dernier lors du Congrès national du PCC : l'option militaire reste sur la table pour s'emparer de Taïwan. Si les 24 millions de Taïwanais prennent au sérieux ces menaces d'invasion répétées par Pékin, ils comptent sur leurs capacités de défense et le soutien international pour dissuader la Chine de passer à l'acte. De notre correspondant à Taipei, Des avions militaires et des hélicoptères dans le ciel de Taipei. Ce lundi 10 octobre, Taïwan célèbre sa fête nationale, avec un slogan : « Ensemble, défendons notre pays », écrit en grands caractères autour du palais présidentiel. « Ces dernières années, nous avons accéléré la réforme de notre armée et augmenté notre budget militaire pour renforcer notre défense », a déclaré la présidente taïwanaise, Tsai Ing Wen. « Il y a un consensus parmi les Taïwanais pour défendre notre souveraineté, notre liberté et notre démocratie. Sur ce point, il n'y aura aucun compromis possible. » ►À lire aussi : Fête nationale à Taïwan : « Nous prenons la responsabilité de notre défense » Plus de 95% des Taïwanais sont en effet opposés à une annexion chinoise. Mais les menaces de Pékin inquiètent malgré tout Mme Zhang, infirmière de 32 ans, venue assister à la cérémonie. « En apparence, bien sûr, nous devons montrer notre unité. Mais si un jour il y a vraiment un conflit, est-ce que nous resterons si unis ? Ma génération n'a pas connu la guerre et ces questions militaires sont lointaines pour nous... Je n'en suis pas si sûre », pense Mme Zhang. « Il faut que nous soyons bien préparés » Convaincre les Taïwanais de leur capacité de défense, c'est l'objectif principal du gouvernement, mais aussi de la société civile. A-Zhan est membre du collectif Watchout et l'auteur d'un manuel de survie en cas d'invasion chinoise. « Avec l'exemple ukrainien, il y a de plus en plus de Taïwanais qui pensent qu'en cas de guerre, nous n'allons pas forcément perdre. Mais pour cela, il faut que nous soyons bien préparés », dit-il. Depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine, les ateliers de défense civile se sont multipliés partout sur l'île. Formations au tir, aux premiers secours ou encore cours théoriques comme ceux proposés par le collectif d'A-Zhan. « L'histoire montre que pour réussir un débarquement militaire, il faut environ trois à cinq fois plus de forces en attaque qu'en défense », explique A-Zhan. « À Taïwan, nous avons 200 000 soldats, cela veut dire que la Chine devrait faire débarquer en même temps de 600 000 à un million d'hommes à Taïwan ! C'est très difficile ! C'est pour cela que la préparation de l'armée, mais aussi des citoyens, est primordiale. Cela va diminuer le risque que la Chine ne choisisse l'option militaire. » La Chine prête en cas d'intervention américaine ? D'autant que les Taïwanais ne sont a priori pas seuls. Les États-Unis, principal fournisseur d'armes de Taïwan, pourraient aussi intervenir en cas de conflit. « Si la Chine attaque Taïwan, c'est dans l'idée où elle est prête à une guerre totale entre les États-Unis et le Japon », analyse Jean-Yves Heurtebise, professeur à l'université Fu Ren de Taipei. « Or, il est assez peu probable que la Chine ose s'engager là-dedans. Sauf si elle se trouve dans une crise de politique interne. Mais on n'en est pas encore là. » ►À lire aussi : Quels scénarios si la Chine décidait d'envahir Taïwan ? Et Taïwan compte bien jouer le temps en sa faveur. Dès la fin de l'année, le service militaire pourrait déjà passer de quatre à douze mois.

Banyak lokasi kawasan di dalam kota yang belum tentu sesuai dengan bayangan manusia akan kemajuan teknologi yang ada. Bagaimana langkah manusia untuk bisa mengatasi berbagai kendala dan problema terkait pembaharuan yang hendak dilakukan, agar kota dapat terlihat indah dan asri, muda dan sehat, maju dan teratur? Pemerintah Taiwan mendorong pembaruan perkotaan, dan Presiden Tsai Ing-wen hari ini menyampaikan video pada upacara pembukaan. Ia juga berharap upaya pemerintah pusat dalam meningkatkan undang-undang dan peraturan dan bantuan. Dengan ini, pemerintah daerah juga dapat mengambil tindakan yang lebih aktif dan efektif bersama-sama, membentuk unit khusus untuk pembaruan perkotaan lokal, dan memimpin dalam mempromosikan penggantian kantor publik, sehingga masyarakat dapat menikmati lingkungan hidup yang lebih aman dan berkualitas.

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. 

Hoje é o último dia para partidos, federações e coligações registrarem candidaturas para as eleições. Pelo menos 41 pessoas morreram em um incêndio que atingiu uma igreja no Egito; 18 eram crianças. Mais uma comitiva dos EUA está no Taiwan para se encontrar com a presidente Tsai Ing-Wen. O escritor britânico Salman Rushdie começou a se recuperar, segundo informações do seu agente. O FBI concluiu que Alec Baldwin puxou o gatilho da arma que matou a diretora Halyna Hutchins, de 42 anos, no set de ‘Rust'.

A China começou, esta quinta-feira, manobras militares nas imediações de Taiwan, em resposta à visita da presidente da Câmara dos Representantes americana, Nancy Pelosi. Jorge Tavares da Silva, analista de assuntos chineses da Universidade de Aveiro, explica que a reacção de Pequim era expectável e afasta a possibilidade de invasão chinesa a Taiwan, a não ser que o território declare a independência. A crise económica global também é um travão à guerra. RFI: A China começou manobras militares com fogo real nas imediações de Taiwan que são uma resposta directa à visita da da presidente da Câmara dos Representantes norte-americana, Nancy Pelosi, a Taiwan. Como interpreta esta resposta? Jorge Tavares da Silva, Analista de assuntos chineses da Universidade de Aveiro: Estas reacções por parte da China eram expectáveis. Não é nada de novo. Nós sabemos que sempre que temos acontecimentos políticos que incomodam o poder em Pequim, relacionados com Taiwan, Pequim reage sempre de forma negativa. Basta termos umas eleições em Taiwan que são adversas, como aliás a actual líder Tsai Ing-Wen é uma líder adversa aos interesses de Pequim, e sempre que há acontecimentos, visitas, sobretudo neste caso que ainda é mais incomodativo, há reacção militar. Exibição militar, demonstração de força, envio de navios para a região, para as águas circundantes, mandam sempre porta-aviões, mandam fragatas, há voos de aviões no espaço aéreo restrito de Taiwan. Esse é o tipo de reacções esperáveis, que não são novas e que também estão ligadas a uma liderança muito forte de Xi Jinping. O líder chinês, Xi Jinping, avisou o seu homólogo norte-americano, Joe Biden, na conversa que tiveram por telefone na semana passada, que “quem brinca com o fogo queima-se” em relação a Taiwan. Esta ameaça não ficou aquém da resposta que a China está a ter hoje? Sim, mas quem está a brincar com o fogo é a China. Quem está a demonstrar força, quem está a lançar mísseis, quem está a fazer toda esta demonstração militar é a China, não são os Estados Unidos. Aliás, temos que separar Estados Unidos de uma visita que - eu sei que tem evidentemente importância pelo cargo que ocupa a senhora Pelosi e não deixa de estar associado aos Estados Unidos - mas não deixa de ser também uma acção relativamente individual de alguém que não é muito bem vista pela China por todo o seu percurso pessoal, por todas as afrontas ao longo do tempo que a senhora Pelosi fez em relação à China. É alguém que não é bem vista. Isso não ajuda, mas não deixa de ser uma acção individual. Nancy Pelosi é, ainda assim, a terceira figura política dos Estados Unidos... Neste braço-de-ferro, diz que finalmente é a China quem está a brincar com o fogo por estar a fazer a demonstração militar, mas os Estados Unidos e a China podem entrar em guerra por causa de Taiwan? A China poderá invadir Taiwan ou vamos ficar sempre nas exibições militares e na retórica bélica? Ninguém está interessado numa intervenção militar. A China tenderá sempre, com a velha paciência chinesa, em tentar resolver a questão de Taiwan pela via pacífica. Isso faz parte da matriz chinesa e assim o fizeram ao longo dos anos. Só que a liderança chinesa, já por diversas vezes - não só Xi Jinping mas as várias lideranças anteriores, Jiang Zemin, por exemplo, também já o tinha dito - que a questão de Taiwan não pode ficar para sempre neste impasse e um dia admitiu que a questão de Taiwan pudesse - e eles começaram a admitir mais vezes isso - vir a ser resolvida de maneira militar. Mas só se a ilha declarar a independência, não? Sim, aí é flagrante, aí não há dúvidas. Aliás, estão mais de mil mísseis direccionados para a ilha de Taiwan – e estamos a falar da ilha de Taiwan porque é a principal, o território de Taiwan tem a ilha principal e outras ilhas mais pequenas e muitas delas até muito próximas da costa chinesa. Aí sim, teríamos uma guerra, não há dúvidas absolutamente nenhumas, e atenção que a senhora Tsai tem tendências independentistas. Em caso de afirmação de independência por parte de Taiwan, de maneira unilateral, aí não há dúvidas, haveria um conflito armado, a China faria uma intervenção armada imediatamente. Basta ver o arsenal de mísseis que está preparado para um contexto desses. Não é esse o contexto que está agora. O que temos agora é um princípio de uma só China que os próprios Estados Unidos vieram reafirmar. Durante a visita em que se reuniu com a líder Tsai Ing-Wen, Nancy Pelosi repetiu aquilo que Joe Biden tinha dito que a política norte-americana respeita o “princípio de uma só China”. Isto é suficiente para que o episódio Pelosi não passe disso? É muito bom para os ouvidos de Pequim porque o senhor Trump colocou uma vez em causa o princípio de uma só China e a senhora Tsai também não é muito seguro que defenda o princípio de uma só China. Ela, de vez em quando, não sendo muito clara, não tem muita vontade de defender este princípio de uma só China e, sobretudo, tem uma vontade de defender uma identidade taiwanesa. Isto é um desafio a Pequim que também não ajuda nada neste contexto. Joe Biden, apesar de tudo, veio pôr um bocadinho de água na fervura. Mas Joe Biden disse, há tempos, que estava disposto a defender militarmente o território… Sim, mas são duas coisas. Primeiro, temos o princípio de uma só China que é bom de ouvir para Pequim, ou seja, este princípio de uma só China não é alterado. Eu acho que Joe Biden veio pôr um bocadinho de água na fervura já a pensar nesta nova crise em Taiwan. Mas, simultaneamente, veio advertir – e aí acho que é o efeito Ucrânia – veio advertir a China de que se tentar resolver a questão de Taiwan pela via militar, os Estados Unidos poderiam intervir militarmente. Aí sim, é uma questão que me parece importante precisamente para que a China não tenha o ímpeto imediato de resolver a questão pela via da força. Precisamente, na altura em que a Rússia invadiu a Ucrânia, houve muitas vozes que disseram que esta invasão poderia dar ideias a Pequim de invadir Taiwan… Eu, no início, confesso que fiquei um pouco com essa ideia de haver essa relação… Tanto é que a Rússia também se manifestou contra a visita de Nancy Pelosi a Taiwan. Claro, é o conforto que o senhor Putin encontra agora numa crise entre os Estados Unidos e a China que é-lhe muito útil para poder criticar os Estados Unidos –e a própria NATO, mas aqui essencialmente os Estados Unidos. É-lhe muito útil, muito confortável ter agora aqui um problema para poder defender o seu ponto de vista também. Mas o que é também relevante do ponto de vista da Ucrânia em relação a Taiwan é que a China, no início do conflito, estava com toda a força a apoiar a Rússia. Inclusivamente, do ponto de vista interno, é muito interessante que Putin aparece nos primeiros dias de guerra quase como um herói nos meios de comunicação sociais chineses – aqueles que são possíveis, dirigidos evidentemente. Ele apareceu como um herói na opinião pública interna e a China condenou a NATO, os Estados Unidos de uma maneira muito clara, posicionando-se muito próximo da Rússia. Os dois líderes até disseram, logo no início quando se encontraram nos Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno de Pequim, que a parceria entre a China e a Rússia era sem limites. Temos que nos lembrar que a China não se compromete muito do ponto de vista internacional e aqui comprometeu-se, era quase uma aliança. Ora, o conflito começa e as coisas começam a não correr muito bem, pela reacção internacional, pelas sanções que começam a ser aplicadas. A China começou, por um lado, a tirar lições para a sua própria situação e começou tacticamente a recuar. Ainda que estrategicamente, continue posicionada politicamente próxima de Moscovo, tacticamente a China remeteu-se um bocadinho ao seu espaço. Mantendo a sua ambiguidade, remeteu-se ao seu silêncio estratégico para não prejudicar os seus interesses. Agora, não lhe toquem é na sua joia da coroa que é efectivamente Taiwan porque aí faz parte do ADN político da liderança de Xi Jinping que é ter a unidade nacional e não ser humilhada pelas potências internacionais, estrangeiras. Isto é algo de sagrado. No início da semana, o Secretário-Geral da ONU, António Guterres, disse que a Humanidade está “a um erro de cálculo de aniquilação nuclear” porque "as tensões geopolíticas estão atingindo novos patamares”. Este é um alerta verosímil ou apenas um alerta para tentar refrear os ânimos globais? Eu acho que é um bom alerta no sentido que o mundo nos últimos anos está numa grande transformação. É uma ordem nova que eu, às vezes, até lhe chamo uma ordem emergente, uma ordem vinda daquilo que nós chamamos um Sul global, um Sul político: países como a Rússia e como a China que querem transformar uma ordem internacional dominada pelos Estados Unidos. Isto é uma fractura que está a acontecer claramente agora. Está a acontecer na Europa e está a querer acontecer na Ásia. É preciso também perceber que os Estados Unidos, como grande actor internacional do ponto de vista dessa ordem internacional tradicional, deixaram a Ásia um bocadinho a descoberto porque se foram envolver nas questões do Médio Oriente, no Afeganistão e em todos esses cenários. Deixaram a China a fazer um pouco aquilo que queria e a ocupar ilhas do mar do sul da China, a estabelecer ali perímetros de forma unilateral, afirmando-se militarmente em toda aquela região. Agora, os Estados Unidos estão a querer recuperar – porque estamos aqui numa competição forte – aquele papel que tiveram na Ásia. Aquilo que o Presidente Obama dizia do pivô da Ásia é aquilo que Joe Biden está a tentar recuperar. Ora, a China não aceita isto, não aceita que os Estados Unidos tenham um papel activo na Ásia. No fundo, quer a Ásia para os asiáticos, só que a China não é bem a Ásia para os asiáticos, é a Ásia para a China. É este tipo de poder, este tipo de confrontação, este tipo de competição que temos na Ásia, mas que também temos na Europa com a Rússia afrontando um bocadinho a ordem europeia no seu espaço mais circundante. Portanto, são dois grandes espaços de competição que estão em risco, quer dizer, já nem é risco, é guerra porque estamos com uma guerra na Europa e podemos vir a ter outra na Ásia porque é um espaço de imensa competição. Eu, de facto, olhando novamente para as palavras do Secretário-Geral das Nações Unidas, eu acho que ele tem razão. Nós estamos num momento de transição, num momento de mudança e as mudanças são sempre perigosas do ponto de vista internacional. Eu acho que é bem importante ouvir essas palavras porque ele tem bastante razão. Está a falar na vontade dos Estados Unidos recuperarem influência, mas numa altura em que os Estados Unidos enfrentam um risco de recessão económica, limitar ainda mais as relações com a China não é um tiro no pé? É. Acho que o discurso de Joe Biden com o Xi Jinping já foi um pouco a olhar para isso. Discute-se muito nos Estados Unidos se não deverão ser levantadas as tarifas aduaneiras que há desde a era de Trump. Toda a tensão e “guerra comercial” entre os Estados Unidos e a China estão a ser discutidos precisamente porque os Estados Unidos estão à porta de uma recessão económica. Isso, no meu ponto de vista, notou-se já um bocadinho na forma como Joe Biden lidou com Xi Jinping, olhando também para esta questão interna que não será nada positiva para a administração Biden. Se calhar é por aí que vamos ver o atenuar desta questão, abrindo do ponto de vista económico. Há um fortíssimo lobby das empresas americanas para aumentar e intensificar as relações económicas com a China. É preciso também não esquecer que a China está fechada. A China com a covid-zero também se tornou fechada, o que não ajuda muito. Essa é outra razão para a China não querer um conflito armado com Taiwan neste momento porque também está a passar por dificuldades económicas fruto da pandemia. Apesar de tudo, eu acho que o diálogo e a cooperação económica agora seriam muito bem-vindos para atenuar. Esta tal tensão entre a China e os Estados Unidos beneficia naturalmente a posição de Putin, portanto, até por aí seria uma derrota [para Putin] se houvesse um diálogo mais forte entre a China e os Estados Unidos. Abordou, no início da conversa, o perfil de Nancy Pelosi. Ela é uma das principais vozes críticas contra a China e, por isso, “persona non grata” em Pequim por vários motivos. Queria pedir-lhe para nos recordar os principais episódios que o mostram, desde a condenação a Tiananmen, à recepção de activistas pró-democracia de Hong Kong no Capitólio, às referências à situação dos uigures… O episódio mais marcante do percurso de Nancy Pelosi em relação à China, quando ela era ainda uma congressista muito nova, foi a crise de Tiananmen, em 1989, e aquelas vítimas todas. Ela foi uma fervorosa lutadora para que a China fosse condenada, para que fossem aplicadas sanções. Dois anos depois, numa comitiva do Congresso, com outros dois congressistas, vai à Praça Tiananmen, abre uma faixa no meio da praça onde diz “Por aqueles que morreram, pela democracia na China”. Evidentemente, apareceu logo a polícia por todos os lados, tiraram a faixa, afastaram os congressistas, prenderam alguns jornalistas que, entretanto, registaram o momento. Este é o principal incidente entre Nancy Pelosi e a China mas, depois disso, teve sempre intervenções muito críticas em relação, por exemplo, à questão dos direitos humanos. Por exemplo, é muito curioso porque ela é a representante da Califórnia. Ora, a Califórnia tem imensas empresas da área tecnológica – Silicon Valley e por aí fora - que têm no mercado chinês um excelente mercado para desenvolver actividade económica. Mesmo assim, ela insurgiu-se contra a transferência de tecnologia dessas empresas americanas para a China. Também criticou, por exemplo, o estatuto de Nação mais favorecida, que é um estatuto comercial que dá condições muito favoráveis do ponto de vista comercial à China. Depois, mais tarde, criticou a questão do Tibete, tem criticado a questão dos uigures da região do Xinjiang e também é uma voz activa em relação à democracia em Hong Kong estar a ser aniquilada. Nancy Pelosi foi sempre uma voz activa que incomodou Pequim ao longo dos anos e é evidentemente uma figura que Pequim não olha com muito bons olhos. Não ajuda muito o facto de ter este histórico todo de afrontamento ao poder chinês, daí que a China tenha mais um factor para reagir da maneira que está a reagir.

A high western and China military presence in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea has fuelled the tension between Taiwan and China. In early October of last year, over 150 Chinese aircraft were sent into Taiwan's air defense identification zone, which aroused worldwide attention. Similarly, the US has increased their presence by sending more navy ships to the Taiwan Strait, including a nuclear submarine. Regarding the US's presence, China condemned the US's recent activity which it said was jeopardizing the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.In the G-20 summit last year, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi and US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, also discussed the Taiwan issue. During the summit, US Secretary of State Blinken specifically expressed the US's concern over the Taiwan issue, and clearly stated Washington's opposition to any unilateral changes to the status quo in Taiwan carried out by China. China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi also called for a clearer position from the US to follow the one-China policy. China's concern over the US's commitment to one-China policy is furthered strengthened by the latest statements from the Biden Administration. In August of last year, it was the second time that President Biden publicly gave his commitment to support Taiwan if Taiwan is ever under attack by China. Likewise, Secretary of State Blinken encourages all UN member states to jointly support Taiwan's participation in the United Nations. Even the White House declared that the US's policy remains unchanged, it raised China's concerns and China claimed that Taiwan has no right to join the United Nations. In the meantime, Taiwan's President, Tsai Ing-Wen welcomed the US's support for Taiwan. But will China ever copy Russia and actually take Taiwan?Support the show (https://www.justgiving.com/tncf)

President Tsai Ing-wen got vaccinated with Taiwan's first domestically developed COVID-19 vaccine on Aug. 23, giving it her stamp of approval as the island begins rolling out the shot, even as critics say its approval has been rushed. The health ministry approved the emergency use of Medigen Vaccine Biologics Corp.'s COVID-19 vaccine in July, part of a broader plan for inoculation self-sufficiency as delays in vaccine deliveries from global drug companies have affected Taiwan and many other countries. Tsai, who had held off using vaccines from Moderna or AstraZeneca, the mainstays of Taiwan's vaccination program, received her Medigen shot at a hospital in central Taipei, demonstrating her confidence in the safety of the vaccine. Around 40% of Taiwan's 23.5 million people have received at least one shot of either of the two-dose AstraZeneca or Moderna vaccines. The island's vaccination policy is to prioritize first shots, with only the most high-risk groups — such as medical workers — initially getting the full two doses.

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Donnerstag – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.Taiwan bestätigt Präsenz von US-Militär auf der Insel Erstmals seit dem Abzug 1979 hat Taiwan die Präsenz von US-Soldaten auf der Insel bestätigt. Präsidentin Tsai Ing-Wen sagte dem US-Sender CNN, eine kleine Zahl von Armeeangehörigen sei zu Ausbildungszwecken präsent. Sie habe Vertrauen, dass die USA die Insel im Falle eines chinesischen Angriffs verteidigen würden. Die Bedrohung nehme jeden Tag zu. Vor einer Woche hatte US-Präsident Joe Biden Taiwan militärischen Beistand gegen China zugesichert. Seit Monaten nimmt der Streit um die Insel, die China als abtrünnige Provinz betrachtet, an Schärfe zu. Corona-Infektionsgeschehen in Deutschland nimmt wieder zu Die Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz bei den erfassten Corona-Infektionen in Deutschland ist sprunghaft auf 130,2 gestiegen. Am Vortag gab das Robert-Koch-Institut sie noch mit 118,0 an. Zuletzt wurden gut 28.000 neue Infektionsfälle gemeldet, fast 12.000 mehr als eine Woche zuvor. Zudem wurden 126 weitere Todesfälle registriert. Der Präsident der Deutschen Krankenhausgesellschaft, Gerald Gaß, warnte vor einer drohenden hohen Auslastung der Intensivstationen. Binnen einer Woche sei die Zahl der Corona-Patienten dort um 15 Prozent gestiegen. In Deutschland sind zwei von drei Menschen vollständig geimpft. Portugal steuert auf Neuwahlen zu In Lissabon ist die Minderheitsregierung mit ihrem Haushaltsentwurf im Parlament gescheitert. Die bisher mit der Sozialistischen Partei von Regierungschef Antonio Costa locker verbündeten linken Parteien und die Kommunisten votierten zusammen mit den konservativen oppositionellen Sozialdemokraten gegen die Budgetpläne für 2022. Costa habe sich zu sehr auf eine Verringerung des Haushaltsdefizits konzentriert. Portugals Präsident Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa kündigte bereits vor der Abstimmung an, dass er eine Neuwahl ansetzen werde, sollten die Etatpläne scheitern. Iran will neue Atomgespräche im November Teheran hat sich nach eigenen Angaben zur Wiederaufnahme der internationalen Gespräche über eine Neuauflage des Atomabkommens bereiterklärt. Diese sollten noch vor Ende November beginnen, schrieb der neue iranische Atom-Unterhändler Ali Bagheri auf Twitter nach einem Treffen mit dem EU-Gesandten Enrique Mora in Brüssel. Ein genaues Datum für die Fortführung der Verhandlungen werde in der kommenden Woche bekanntgegeben. Von Seiten der EU gab es zunächst keine Bestätigung. Seit der Wahl des ultrakonservativen Geistlichen Ebrahim Raisi zum iranischen Präsidenten liegen die Gespräche auf Eis. Heftiger Gegenwind für Sudans Putschisten Nach dem Militärputsch im Sudan haben UN, EU und USA die Wiedereinsetzung des entmachteten Ministerpräsidenten gefordert. Der abgesetzte Abdullah Hamduk werde weiterhin als sudanesischer Regierungschef angesehen, heißt es in einer Erklärung. Die Afrikanische Union teilte mit, die Mitgliedschaft Sudans sei suspendiert, bis die entmachtete Übergangsregierung unter ziviler Führung wiederhergestellt sei. Derweil gingen in Khartum und anderen Städten wieder Tausende Menschen auf die Straße, um gegen den Umsturz zu protestieren. Dabei gab es erneut Zusammenstöße mit Sicherheitskräften. "Geo Barents" hat sicheren Hafen gefunden Das Rettungsschiff "Geo Barents" von Ärzte ohne Grenzen hat mit 367 Menschen, darunter sehr viele Kinder, im sizilianischen Palermo angelegt. Seit dem Wochenende wartete das Schiff auf die Erlaubnis, einen Hafen ansteuern zu dürfen. Unter den im Mittelmeer Geretteten sind nach Angaben der Helfer 172 Minderjährige. Viele von ihnen seien ohne Eltern auf diese gefährliche Überfahrt geschickt worden. Diese hohe Zahl von Kindern ist laut Ärzte ohne Grenzen selbst für erfahrene Seenotretter ungewöhnlich. Die Migranten hoffen auf ein besseres Leben in der Europäischen Union. Gladbach deklassiert Bayern im DFB-Pokal In der zweiten DFB-Pokalrunde ist Rekordmeister und Rekordpokalsieger Bayern München bei Borussia Mönchengladbach mit einer historischen Niederlage gescheitert. Die Bayern verloren 0 zu 5 und damit so hoch wie nie zuvor in diesem Wettbewerb. Es war zugleich der erste Sieg Mönchengladbachs überhaupt gegen den alten Rivalen aus München in einem DFB-Pokal-Spiel. Zwei Achtelfinals in Folge ohne die Münchner hatte es im Pokalwettbewerb zuletzt 1994 und 1995 gegeben.

Carter Hull answers the question: Who is Tsai Ing-wen?

In the first IISS Sounds Strategic podcast of 2021, to coincide with the audiobook release of Brendan Taylor's Adelphi Series publication Dangerous Decade: Taiwan's Security and Crisis Management, Meia Nouwens and Brendan discuss the geopolitical importance of Taiwan and the challenges it faces in the coming year and beyond.Starting with President Tsai Ing-Wen's re-election in January 2020 and her government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic that won international praise, the discussion moves to look ahead to potential security crises facing Taiwan. Brendan identifies US-China rivalry as a potential flashpoint and argues, ‘perhaps controversially', that the next crisis brewing over Taiwan will be more serious than previous ones as the geopolitical status quo affecting Taiwan begins to fracture. Meia and Brendan go on to discuss why Taiwan is strategically important for China, the likelihood of reunification and independence, whether there will be a major change in US-Taiwan relations under President Biden's administration, Taiwan's international standing, and where Taiwan could take advantage of the US-China trade war. Date of recording: 18 December 2020Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Chinese embassy in New Delhi issued an unprecedented caution to Indian media To avoid calling Taiwan a nation, Republic of China and its leader the president on its national day.  This was preceded by Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen calling for “meaningful dialogue” with mainland China as long as it was willing to resolve antagonisms and improve cross-strait relations. In episode 590 of Cut The Clutter, Shekhar Gupta simplifies the complex 100-year story, what is Taiwan and the issue with mainland China and its One-China policy. 

Join Hudson Institute and Center for American Progress for an address by Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen followed by a discussion with Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office Representative Bi-khim Hsiao, Hudson Senior Fellow Seth Cropsey, and Center for American Progress Vice President Kelly Magsamen.

Taïwan voit la pandémie de Covid-19 comme une opportunité pour affirmer son autonomie économique par rapport à la Chine. Mais, le défi n’est pas mince pour cette puissance économique méconnue. Au temps du coronavirus, des crises sanitaires et économiques les plus graves depuis plusieurs décennies, certains pays s’en tirent mieux que d’autres.   Parmi ceux-ci, à quelques encablures de la Chine communiste, Taïwan. Taïwan, où la présidente Tsai Ing Wen, réélue au mois de janvier 2020, a entamé son deuxième mandat, ce mercredi 20 mai 2020. Sous son autorité, ce pays de 24 millions d’habitants a su détecter à temps la menace du coronavirus et prendre les mesures qui s’imposaient, de sorte qu’aucun confinement n’a été nécessaire et que le nombre de victimes sur l’île est minime. Cela veut-il dire que l’économie taïwanaise ne rencontre aucune difficulté ? La pandémie amène-t-elle l’île à repenser son organisation industrielle et sa relation commerciale avec la Chine ? Dans la guerre commerciale sino-américaine, comment s’est positionnée Taiwan ? Le capitalisme taiwanais est-il aussi inégalitaire qu’ailleurs, ou doit-il se protéger de la proximité de la Chine communiste et autoritaire en répartissant mieux les fruits de la richesse collective ? (Rediffusion du 16 mai 2020) Voilà les questions posées à deux invités :- Denis Forman vit à Taïwan depuis plus de trente ans. Il est avocat, vice-président de la Chambre de commerce et d’industrie franco-taïwanaise, et conseiller du Commerce extérieur- Mathieu Duchâtel, directeur du programme Asie de l’Institut Montaigne un think-tank parisien d’orientation libérale. Autres éléments : ►ReportagesS'il y a un secteur de l’économie mondiale dans lequel Taïwan pèse d’un poids certain, primordial même, c’est le secteur électronique. Reportage Éco d’ici Éco d’ailleurs signé Adrien Simorre, le correspondant de RFI à Taïwan-L'électronique à Taipei. La guerre commerciale sino-américaine est un peu passée au second plan tant l’actualité est occupée par la pandémie de Covid-19. Cela fait plus de trente jours qu’on ne compte pas de nouveaux cas à Taïwan, mais cela ne met pas le pays à l’abri des impacts économiques du Covid-19. C’est un reportage Éco d’ici Éco d’ailleurs signé Adrien Simorre. Les jeunes,  en particulier, ont des difficultés à s’insérer dans la vie économique. Le rapport entre les salaires et le prix de l’immobilier est parmi les plus élevés au monde. Le prix d’un logement moyen correspond à environ 15 années de salaire moyen. En conséquence, une majorité de jeunes continue à habiter chez ses parents jusqu’à un âge avancé et les autorités peinent à endiguer le phénomène.

President Tsai Ing-wen was re-elected in January, 2020, on a platform similar to that of her first term, yet new cross-Strait developments and changing challenges at home suggest the next four years may not be a continuation of the status quo. Seton Hall University law professor and Taiwan expert Margaret Lewis explores the possibilities for mainland-Taiwan relations as well as the local issues that will define both Tsai's second term and the near future of Taiwan.

Taiwan is deemed as one of the few countries in the world which have successfully stemmed the spread of the coronavirus without resorting to draconian measures. President Tsai Ing-Wen stated that the success story of Taiwan in battling the COVID-19 is because of the good combination efforts by medical professionals, government, private sectors and society at large. How does it practically happen on the field? Moreover, shall we blame China for this COVID-19 pandemic and if yes, how to hold China accountable for this? Also, how is the impact of relationship between Taiwan and the World Health Organization (WHO) on the efforts to fight against the virus? I talked to Ambassador John Chen, the Representative of Taipei Economic and Trade Office (TETO) in Indonesia to explore those questions. 

In the wake of Tsai Ing-Wen's re-election as President of Taiwan, Gideon Rachman discusses the Asian island's future ties with China and the rest of the world with Shelley Rigger, a professor at Davidson College in the US and Taiwan expert, Ketty Chen, head of the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy and Professor Alexander Huang, adviser to the opposition KMT party.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Just what is the significance of the recent Taiwan elections, with incumbent president Tsai Ing Wen winning by a landslide? Why is Taiwan critical to the power balance in Asia? In what ways has the Chinese Communist Party engaged in information warfare against Taiwan? How is the Chinese regime using similar tactics across the globe? And, why is the Chinese communist regime fixated on conquering Taiwan? And how has the People’s Liberation Army been gearing up for it? This is American Thought Leaders

The 2020 landslide election of Taiwan's incumbent president Tsai Ing-Wen was a major defeat, not only to her rival Han Kuo-Yu of the KMT, but also to Chinese Communist Party ambitions in the island nation. We share our experience witnessing this historic democratic election. Support China Unscripted! Buy Amazing Tea!!! go.pathofcha.com/unscripted

Last week, Taiwan re-elected its president, Tsai Ing-wen（蔡英文）, by a landslide. Her campaign focused heavily on what she claims is 'the rising threat from Beijing'. Since the election she has said that China needs to 'face reality' and show Taiwan 'respect'. This, and the sheer scale of her victory, might well suggest that cross-strait relations are about to enter a renewed rocky period. But is it quite that simple? Joining us this week to put these fresh election results into context is George Yin of Swarthmore College in Philadelphia and Harvard Fairbank Centre for Chinese Studies. George is part of a team that recently undertook a large-scale survey delving into Taiwanese attitudes toward identity, politics and cross-strait relations.

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.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Medea Benjamin, a well-known peace activist and the cofounder of the peace group Code Pink.The Trump Administration has deployed an additional 750 ground troops and 250 paratroopers to Kuwait in response to demonstrations at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and in the aftermath of U.S. airstrikes that killed 25 people. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo canceled his trip to central Asia and Cyprus to monitor the situation in Baghdad. Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders announced that his campaign has raised a whopping $34.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 from 1.8 million donors. That’s an average donation of $18.53.Those figures soundly beat the $24.7 million raised by South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and the $16.5 raised by entrepreneur Andrew Yang. Meanwhile, former HUD Secretary Julian Castro dropped out of the race this morning. The field is finally beginning to tighten in advance of the February 3 Iowa Caucus and the February 11 New Hampshire Primary. Ted Rall, an award winning journalist and editorial cartoonist whose work is at www.rall.com, joins the show. Nils Melzer, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture said yesterday that the US government was guilty of torture over the detentions of Wikileaks cofounder Julian Assange and Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning. Assange is being held without charge in the maximum-security Belmarsh Prison outside of London, and Manning is being held without charge in a prison in Virginia, solely because she is refusing to testify against Assange before a grand jury. Melzer said, “The practice of coercive detention appears to be incompatible with the international human rights obligations of the United States.” Brian and John speak with independent journalist Diani Baretto. Nearly three dozen journalists employed by Sputnik in Estonia resigned this week after being harassed and threatened with arrest by Estonian authorities. The Estonian government cited European Union sanctions as the reason for the threats. Jeremy Kuzmarov, a professor of American history whose latest book is “The Russians Are Coming, Again: The First Cold War as Tragedy, the Second as Farce,” joins the show. Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-Wen, in her new year’s speech yesterday, said that Taiwan would never accept a one country, two systems model of government, citing violence in Hong Kong and China’s increased assertiveness in its policy of reunification with the island. Meanwhile, 400 protestors were arrested in Hong Kong after their march turned violent. David Ewing, the chair of the San Francisco chapter of the US-China People’s Friendship Association, joins Brian and John. Thursday’s weekly series “Criminal Injustice” is about the most egregious conduct of our courts and prosecutors and how justice is denied to so many people in this country. Paul Wright, the founder and executive director of the Human Rights Defense Center and editor of Prison Legal News (PLN), and Kevin Gosztola, a writer for Shadowproof.com and co-host of the podcast Unauthorized Disclosure, join the show.A regular Thursday segment deals with the ongoing militarization of space. As the US continues to withdraw from international arms treaties, will the weaponization and militarization of space bring the world closer to catastrophe? Brian and John speak with Prof. Karl Grossman, a full professor of journalism at the State University of New York, College at Old Westbury and the host of a nationally aired television program focused on environmental, energy, and space issues, and with Bruce Gagnon, coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space and a contributor to Foreign Policy In Focus.

Vorab möchten wir auf einen Flyer aufmerksam machen: http://thea-blog.de/frauenrechte-in-deutschland-flyer-fuer-fluechtlinge/#respond Geflüchtete Frauen können hier mehr über ihre Rechte erfahren. Auch männlichen Flüchtlingen sei diese Lektüre empfohlen. Der Flyer ist in mehreren Sprachen verfügbar. Mehr Informationen findet man unter oben genannten Link beim thea-blog. An dieser Stelle noch mal vielen Dank an Birte Vogel, dass wir ihre Seite verlinken dürfen. In unserer aktuellen Folge beschäftigen wir uns mit Frauen, die in machtvollen Positionen versuchen die Menschheitsgeschichte auch zur Frauengeschichte zu machen. Beim näheren Betrachten finden sich neben Angela Merkel und Hillary Clinton auch Taiwans Präsidentin Tsai Ing-Wen, der von ihren politischen Gegnern vorgeworfen wird, dass sie als Single nicht die emotionalen Bürden von Liebe, Familie und Kindern nachempfinden kann und aus diesem Grund den Radikalen zuzurechnen ist. Als Frau ein machtvollen Amt zu bekleiden ist in unserer Welt schwierig, aber offenbar gänzlich unmöglich, wenn Frau unverheiratet ist und lieber die Zeit mit Katzen als mit dem anderen Geschlecht verbringt. Wo uns das alles hinführt erklären Herr Bumms und Frau Dings persönlichen Priorotäten entsprechend, die an dieser Stelle wie immer viel Spaß beim Hören wünschen.
