BUSH: Good morning. If I could ask you to take your seats, ladies and gentlemen, we will get started. My name is Richard Bush. I'm the director of the Center for East Asia Policy Studies here at Brookings, and the proud holder of the Chen-Fu and Cecilia Yen Koo Chair in Taiwan Studies here at Brookings. It's my great pleasure to welcome you to our event today, Cross-Strait Relations under the Tsai Ing-Wen Administration. I think that we have an excellent lineup of experts to speak about these issues, and there are many sub-issues involved. So I think we will all have a lot to learn. My main function as the convener is to thank a lot of other people for making this event possible. First of all, I want to thank the Institute for International Relations of National Chengchi University for cosponsoring this event, and in particular, I would like to thank my good friend Arthur Ding for all the hard work that he has done in arranging things on the Taipei end of this. On the Washington end of this, this is yet another in a series of close collaborations between the Brookings Institution and the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and I would like to thank Chris Johnson and Scott Kennedy for their leadership in bringing this about. There are a lot of staff people here at Brookings at CSIS and at IIR who have done the real work, and those of us who stand at the podium would not be at the podium without their hard work. Finally, I would like to express my appreciation to Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council for their facilitation and encouragement. That means a lot to us. Actually, that's not the final thanks. The final thanks is to Ambassador Stanley Kao, who is the Republic of China's Representative here in Washington, D.C., and he's kindly agreed to take time out of his very busy schedule to make some welcoming remarks. So without further ado, Ambassador Kao. ANDERSON COURT REPORTING 706 Duke Street, Suite 100 Alexandria, VA 22314 Phone (703) 519-7180 Fax (703) 519-7190 4 TAIWAN-2016/09/15 (Applause) MR. KAO: Thank you very much, Dr. Richard Bush. And thank you all very much for having me this morning. And on behalf of TECRO, I'd like to, of course, thank and congratulate Brookings CSIS, of course, Minister Lin, and also the team of IIR, who put together such a wonderful and equally meaningful conference today. Of course, National Chengchi University, of course, plays a big part in this exercise, and I am so very proud and extremely pleased. Also, Chengchi is my alma mater. And, of course, this is very important and a very interesting topic, and the President Tsai Ing-wen, of course, in her May 20th inaugural speech, and then followed by several media interviews and some public announcements, part of statements, she has repeatedly talked about one of the key party's agenda will be to maintain a status quo, I mean, a presumably dynamic status quo so as to pursue a consistent, predictable, and sustainable cross-Strait relations without compromising Taiwan's sovereignty and the political democracy and economic prosperity. This is the ultimate values and interests of Taiwan, of course constitutionally called the Republic of China and what the country stands for. And nobody, of course including Tsai Ing-wen herself would believe this is an easy job. But during her career as a teaching professor at Jen-da, and a chief trade negotiator, then one of the early mainland China policymakers, the imparted chairwoman, now the first female head of state. She and her team, including Minister Lin, certainly have their work cut out for her. But I think one of the fair observations (inaudible) will be that, of course, she should not take anything for granted. She has to stay focused. But on the other hand, she should not be overly optimistic, nor pessimistic. Right now, stay calm, steadfast, realistic, and forward-looking. So I think that is a very fair observation. I understand you are putting together some of the best and the brightest, most particulate thinkers and authors in this room and throughout the day, so I believe it ANDERSON COURT REPORTING 706 Duke Street, Suite 100 Alexandria, VA 22314 Phone (703) 519-7180 Fax (703) 519-7190 5 TAIWAN-2016/09/15 will be a most inspiring and stimulating intellectual exercise. So I wish you good luck. Thank you very much. (Applause) MR. JOHNSON: Thank you very much, Mr. Ambassador, and thank you, Richard, for hosting us here today. My name is Chris Johnson. I'm the Freeman Chair in China Studies here at CSIS, and I just want to also extend my warm welcome to everyone for making the time to come and see us today. I have the great pleasure to be able to introduce Deputy Minister Lin to come and speak with us. We're very honored that you have taken the time today to come and share your thoughts with us on this very important subject. Just a few brief biographic notes. Lin Cheng-Yi is currently, of course, the deputy minister of the Mainland Affairs Council in the Executive UN. Prior to his appointment, he served as a research fellow at the Institute for European and American Studies at Academia Sinica, as well as the institute director from 1998 to 2003. From 2004 to 2005, he was the director of the Institute of National Relations at Chengchi University. And he also served as senior advisor for the National Security Council in 2003 and 2004. Dr. Lin holds a Ph.D. and M.A. from the University of Virginia, as well as a B.A. and M.A. from National Chengchi University. So without further ado, please join me in welcoming Vice Minister Lin. (Applause) MR. LIN: Director, Dr. Bush, and senior advisor, Chris Johnson, Director (inaudible), ladies and gentlemen, good morning. I'm deeply honored to be invited to attend the International Symposium jointly hosted today by the Brookings Institution, the CSIS, and National Chengchi University in Taiwan. The symposium takes on particular meaning and timing in the ANDERSON COURT REPORTING 706 Duke Street, Suite 100 Alexandria, VA 22314 Phone (703) 519-7180 Fax (703) 519-7190 6 TAIWAN-2016/09/15 unique context of internal and external development in cross-Strait relations. Today, I would like to talk on the current development in cross-Strait relations and offer five observations from a Taipei perspective. Observations one. Starting with respect for the 1992 talks is the key to maintaining peaceful status quo across the Taiwan Strait. In her inaugural address on May 20th this year, President Tsai Ing-wen made it clear in 1992 Straits Exchange Foundation in Taiwan ended association for relations across the Taiwan Strait in Beijing, through communication and negotiation, arrive at a joint acknowledgments and understandings in the spirit of seeking common ground while setting aside differences in that Taiwan respect this historic fact.

    THE BROWN MOMENT IN TAIWAN: MAKING SENSE OF THE LAW AND POLITICS OF THE TAIWANESE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE CASE IN A COMPARATIVE LIGHT Ming-Sung Kuo & Hui-Wen Chen+ The Taiwan Constitutional Court (TCC) recently issued a landmark decision in Interpretation No. 748 (the Same-Sex Marriage Case), declaring the definition of marriage as a gender-differentiated union of a man and a woman under the Civil Code unconstitutional and setting the stage for Taiwan to become the first in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. This decision has been compared to Obergefell v. Hodges. However, reading Obergefell in the broad context of the gay rights movement and the role of judicial review in Taiwanese constitutional politics, we challenge this analogy. Due to the discrepancy between the social movement and the law in the fight for constitutional rights for gays and lesbians in Taiwan, the Same-Sex Marriage Case is Taiwan’s Brown v. Board of Education moment in her constitutional law and politics. To make sense of the law and politics of the Same Sex Marriage Case, we evaluate its political context and the text and style in its reasoning. We observe a discrepancy between law and politics in the pursuit of the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians in Taiwan. The rise of same-sex marriage to the top of the antidiscrimination agenda resulted from the continuous effort of gay rights activists, while the TCC watched this movement from the sidelines until the Same-Sex Marriage Case. This case thus mirrors Brown in two respects. First, the role of the TCC has been publicly questioned after its Brown-like contentious decision on the issue of same-sex marriage.

The United States, as well as many other countries, maintains embassy offices in countries all over the world. The office serves an important function in managing foreign relations between the home and host governments. Definition In the most basic terms, the "embassy" refers to both a diplomatic mission that is set up permanently in a host country and the actual building that is home to embassy offices. 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. Consulate Embassy Consulate ● An Embassy is the diplomatic ● A Consulate is the representation of the representation of a country's public administration of a country in a foreign government in another country, and city (not necessarily in the capital city).

    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.

From 1949 to 1992, the life of the islanders was profoundly disturbed and altered by wars and militarization generated by the bipolar politics.

  • An Interview with Mali Wu, Co-Curator of 2018 Taipei Biennial
    Leora Joy Jones An Interview with Mali Wu, Co-curator of 2018 Taipei Biennial Leora Joy Jones: Your approach to art has changed quite a bit over the years. Can you tell me about your practice now? Mali Wu: I am interested in socially engaged art that has a function. This function is pedagogical, regardless of whether the artist is conscious of the audience or not. Art is a medium that provides a certain message. It is important for curators to work with the idea of the public in our consciousness and focus on how to approach audiences to convey what we are saying. I have been practicing this kind of socially engaged art for almost twenty years. I see it as a kind of positive social critique. Leora Joy Jones: For how long have you practiced curation? Mali Wu: I’m not a curator. My practice is research oriented and project based. I organize events in the community. This is the first time I’ve been invited to curate such a big show. Fortunately I did not do it alone. My co-curator, Francesca Manacorda, is very experienced curating in museums, so he helped a lot in organizing the space.
