Introducing our Taiwan Mini-Series: Yu-Jie Chen on China-Taiwan relations
Description
For the next half year leading up to the elections in Taiwan, we will be bringing you a mini-series focusing entirely on the island, from domestic politics to its relationship to neighboring China.
For this first installment of the Taiwan mini-series, host Sophia Yan speaks to Yu-Jie Chen, an assistant research fellow from Academic Sinica who focuses on Human Rights and International relations with a specific focus on cross-strait relations.
Not only does Yu-Jie provide listeners with one of the clearest, most succinct summaries of three hundred years of Taiwanese history, but she also delves into how political and personal identities on the island have changed in the past three decades. With cross-strait tensions worsening in recent years, what does the future hold for Taiwan?
Yu-Jie also explains how the ambiguity of the 1992 Consensus has caused the modern-day complexities in the region.
Taiwan is so much more than the occasional headline, so make sure you don’t miss this episode!
