We ask blogger Ben Goren, the author of the blog Letters from Taiwan, about what it is like being a Westerner living in Taiwan, and just how he got into the fray of Taiwan’s controversial political scene. We also talk shop about politics, just a little bit.
35 years after the Taiwan Relations Act, how has the relationship between the US and Taiwan evolved? We talk to Coen Blaauw and Gerrit van der Wees from the Formosan Association for Public Affairs (FAPA) to find out.
We talk with HoChie Tsai about the Taiwanese American communities, whether Taiwanese Americans should, or have a right to, be involved in affairs in Taiwan, and about what the third and even fourth generation might be facing in the future.
What do you think of when we mention “Taiwanese food?” Is Taiwanese food only bubble tea and stinky tofu? We ask food author Elizabeth Kao about fine dining in Taiwan, how history shaped food in Taiwan, and thoughts on the future.
We talk to Sean Su, a Taiwanese American activist and part of the media and tech team for the Sunflower Movement, about all the technology that helped shape the movement’s messages and image. And drones.
We talk with former NTU student president Ching-Fang Hsu about how this new political generation from the Sunflower Movement will answer Taiwan’s important questions on governance, China, and globalization.
