Description

Scott was born in Taiwan and raised in a pro-DPP household before moving to the U.S. at age 10. Over Taiwan Beer, we trace his political journey from identifying with Taiwan separatism to supporting Chinese reunification and questioning liberal democracy itself. We talk about what triggered his shift in perspective, how his views evolved over time, and how his experience relates with broader political trends in Taiwan today.
