In the wake of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s high profile visit to Taiwan in August, public focus on the island has reached a crescendo as Chinese military maneuvers and government rhetoric continue to escalate. How has Taiwan dealt with the increased volatility? How has the war in Ukraine affected China’s decision-making going forward? Are Taiwan’s global economic ties and critical role in technology supply chains strong enough to help deter a wider conflict? Most importantly, what does it all mean for ordinary Taiwanese? In a conversation moderated by Sara Newland on October 12, 2022, leading Taiwan experts Jessica Drun and Lev Nachman explore Taiwan’s complex dynamics and implications for the United States and the U.S.-China relationship. 2:07 How did Taiwanese respond to Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit? 9:53 Is the war in Ukraine shifting behavior in Taiwan? 14:08 What's happening with the Taiwanese elections in 2022 and 2024? 18:23 What is the future of the KMT? 22:21 How has Taiwan capitalized on recent soft power wins? 26:38 What should people know about Taiwan?

Radio New Bloom #11: Lev Nachman on Surveying Hong Kong Citizens About the Possibility of Leaving

Today is the 228 Holiday in Taiwan, which marks a bloody incident, and long 70+ year struggle, that eventually gave birth to Taiwan's now flourishing civil society and democracy. This stands in stark contrast to a China that demand Taiwan return to its authoritarian fold, and a Hong Kong still desperately trying to escape China and chart its own democratic future. To help our non-Taiwan listeners better understand Taiwan and this important day, I'm joined by Researcher and PhD Candidate Lev Nachman, for an honest and engaging discussion on Taiwan's past, its current systems of Universal Health Care, Gay Marriage and Indigenous recognition, and its unclear future, where a China defined by nationalism remains unwilling to let Taiwan be free.  Lev and I discuss all this, and try to chart a course for a progressive Taiwan policy under a Sanders or Warren Administration. For more on Taiwan's history and today's Holiday, Lev and I recommend the following resources  • Lev's thread on The "228" Incident: twitter.com/lnachman32/status/1232874082854559749 • This great article by journalist Erin Hale on the complex relation between Indigenous Groups and Taiwan domestic Politics: aljazeera.com/news/2020/01/campaign-time-taiwan-indigenous-people-kmt-200108054107733.html • The Website New Bloom , run by Activist and Researcher Brian Hioe: https://newbloommag.net/ • The book "Forget Chineseness" on Nationalism and Identity by Allen Chun: https://www.sunypress.edu/p-6355-forget-chineseness.aspx • The Hong Kong Progressive Collective - Lausan: https://lausan.hk/ • The China Progressive Collective - Chuang: http://chuangcn.org/ • The Taiwan Magazine the Newslens: https://international.thenewslens.com/Beats by https://omoon.beatstars.com/
