Ep. 19 Taiwan's Balancing Act: Navigating Beijing, Washington, and Its Own Identity
Description
Host Wenchi Yu speaks with Professor Philip Hsu 徐斯勤 of National Taiwan University about the intricate political landscape of Taiwan, focusing on the 7/26 recall elections, public opinion regarding identity and relations with China, and the evolving dynamics of Taiwan's relationship with the U.S. Taiwan is the flashpoint where technology, business, and geopolitics intersect. A deeper understanding of this island nation and its dynamic political forces—especially through the lens of Taiwan-China and Taiwan-US relations—is vital for navigating both opportunities and risks with more informed decision-making.
