Chronology of China-Taiwan Relations CHINA- TAIWAN RELATIONS TAIWAN NAVIGATES US-CHINA TENSIONS AS IT MANAGES THE EFFECTS OF COVID-19 DAVE KEEGAN, JOHNS HOPKINS SCHOOL OF ADVANCED INTERNATIONAL STUDIES KYLE CHURCHMAN, JOHNS HOPKINS SCHOOL OF ADVANCED INTERNATIONAL STUDIES Simmering tensions across the Taiwan Strait were a concern in May at the World Health Assembly meeting, along with President Tsai’s second inauguration, China’s National People’s Congress, and the 15th anniversary of the Anti-Secession Law. The beginning of Tsai’s second term was defined by Taiwan’s success in overcoming the health and economic impacts of COVID-19. Taiwan failed to win a seat at the World Health Assembly, but won unusually broad and public support from Washington and other typically silent partners. Taiwan offered assistance to victims of the Beijing’s National Security Law for Hong Kong, prompting Beijing to warn of Taiwan’s “black hand.” Taiwan’s ties with the US were showcased by the August visit of Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar to Taipei.

London and New York: Routledge. 2 Assessing (Multi)culturalism through Public Art Practices Anru Lee and Perng-juh Peter Shyong This chapter investigates the issue of multiculturalism through public art practices in Taiwan. Specifically, we focus on the public art project of the Mass 14Rapid Transit System in Kaohsiung (hereafter, Kaohsiung MRT), and examine how the discourse of multiculturalism intertwines with the discourse of public art that informs the practice of the latter. Multiculturalism in this case is considered as an ideological embodiment of the politics of difference, wherein our main concern is placed on the ways in which different constituencies in Kaohsiung respond to the political-economic ordering of Kaohsiung in post-Second World War Taiwan and to the challenges Kaohsiung City faces in the recent events engendering global economic change. We see the Kaohsiung MRT public art project as a field of contentions and its public artwork as a ‘device of imagination’ and ‘technique of representation’ (see Ngo and Wang in this volume).

Purpose An embassy helps to preserve and protect the relationship between the host country and the country represented by that particular embassy office. The embassy can be a point of contact, or base of communication, between two countries. Embassy VS.

    TAIWAN HEBDO HEBDOMADARIO DE LA POLÍTICA TAIWANESA Nº 21/2016 * Semana del 23 al 29 de Mayo de 2016 [email protected] 1) Informe 2) Observaciones de contexto 3) Datos relevantes 4) Nombres relevantes 1. Informe La participación de Taiwan en la Asamblea Mundial de la Salud celebrada en Ginebra (Suiza) entre los días 23 y 28 de Mayo ha permitido visibilizar una primera (y fría) toma de contacto a nivel ministerial entre representantes de ambos lados del Estrecho. El ministro de sanidad Lin Tsou-yen desplegó un discurso poniendo el acento en la despolitización de la participación y el énfasis en un abordaje profesional y pragmático de interés para la comunidad internacional. El ministro taiwanés apeló a la OMS a permitir la participación estable de la isla en sus actividades. 1 Por tratarse del primer evento diplomático con participación taiwanesa tras la investidura de la presidenta Tsai Ing-wen, la atención estaba más que justificada. En la delegación oficial se incluyeron representantes funcionariales y partidarios, incluyendo al PDP, KMT, PPP y PNP. Lin mantuvo un breve saludo con el representante continental Li Bin al margen de la asamblea, pero no hubo avances ni respuesta a su invitación para sostener una reunión bilateral. Esta negativa abunda en la idea de que Beijing no dará su brazo a torcer y pudiera ser la primera señal de una suspensión de las relaciones a través del Estrecho. El representante taiwanés mantuvo reuniones con delegaciones de EEUU o Japón. En los últimos años también había encuentros con la comitiva continental. Desde 2009, Taiwan participa como observador.

  • In the Twilight Zone of Collaborative Disaster Prevention? the Experience of Flood Control in Different Levels of Government in Taiwan
    Chinese Public Administration CPAR Review Volume 8 Issue 2, December 2017 In the Twilight Zone of Collaborative Disaster Prevention? The Experience of Flood Control in Different Levels of Government in Taiwan Ming-feng Kuo *, Chun-yuan Wang † * National Taiwan University, Taiwan † Central Police University, Taiwan With the coming of risk society, natural and human-made disasters have challenged the governance capacity of national and local governments. Although decentralization is a governance trend in various fields, little is known about the appropriate mode and crucial factors influencing its capacity for disaster management. The authors contend that a twilight zone exists between decentralization and centralization, and thus the purpose of this study is to explore how different levels of governments in Taiwan may collaborate in flood control effectively. By conducting in-depth interviews with public officials in Taiwan’s branches of flood control in central and local governments, we analyzed the existing conflicts of power and responsibility between central- and local authorities. We defined the factors that influence the construction of effective collaboration across the levels of governments. Based on our empirical findings, this study ultimately makes policy suggestions to facilitate the establishment of mechanisms for effective governance. Keywords: centralization, decentralization, collaborative disaster prevention, flood control, local governance, Taiwan INTRODUCTION in the act and the trend of decentralization has been confirmed in Taiwan, many controversies related to xamining how different levels of government power and responsibility have still emerged between have worked effectively and collaboratively central and local governments in the last two decades. Eduring disaster management has raised a big question and attracted considerable attention One of the most prominent cases in Taiwan is the dispute in academia and practice (Drabek, 1985; Kapucu, of flood control.
