These events are no longer just abstract future scenarios; they are hap- pening today in all corners of the globe. Average temperatures in Taiwan in the past two years have been the highest in 100 years. Since 2017, rainfall has dropped markedly, affecting Taiwan’s hydroelectrici- ty generation. Indeed, these recent developments are hav- ing a considerable impact and pose a significant threat. Other parts of the world have witnessed similar trends. During the 2018 summer season, many countries across the Northern Hemisphere in Europe, Asia, North America, and North Africa have experienced record- breaking heatwaves and deadly wildfires that seriously jeopardize human health, agriculture, natural ecosys- tems, and infrastructure. To further implement the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and achieve the goals outlined therein, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, in addition to faithfully conducting important projects, consultations, and negotiations, has also invited parties from various fields to join the Talanoa Dialogue, so as to take full advantage of the collective wisdom of striving to increase the share of renewable sources in humankind in formulating workable solutions to climate overall energy generation to 20% by 2025, and raise change. the share of energy produced with natural gas up to As a member of the global village, and in line with the 50%.

  • Memorial Park for Women Laborers”: Gender, Religion, and the Politics of Memory in Taiwan’S Urban Renewal
    Journal of Archaeology and Anthropology‧75:37-70‧2011 From the “Twenty-five Ladies’ Tomb” to a “Memorial Park for Women Laborers”: Gender, Religion, and the Politics of Memory in Taiwan’s Urban Renewal Anru Lee∗ and Wen-hui Anna Tang** ABSTRACT This essay looks at the recent renovation of the Twenty-five Ladies’ Tomb, and examines the politics of the feminist movements and the politics of memory as they are expressed through different meanings of female ghosts, in southern Taiwan. People who were involved in the renovation process included the families of the deceased “twenty-five maidens,” the Kaohsiung city government, and feminist groups in Kaohsiung and elsewhere in Taiwan – most notably the Kaohsiung Association for the Promotion of Women’s Rights – all of whom had different considerations and therefore diverse expectations regarding the future and purpose of the tomb. In Specters of Marx (2006), Derrida uses the idea of “specters” and “haunting” as consequences of historical injustice and tragedy metaphorically but powerfully. These two elements come together in our essay as well. However, the “ghosts” in our accounts are more literally ghosts with whom some (if not all) of our ethnographic subjects interact. They appear, express their sorrow, and demonstrate their grievances. The reestablishment of peace and order essential to residents of both the living world and the afterlife thus hinges upon mutual understanding and close collaboration between them. Yet, as meanings are constantly contested, so is the nature of the deceased’s requests. The different interpretations that the (living) socio-political forces give to the deceased’s needs open up new terrains of contestation for the memory of the past and the rights and obligations at the present.

  • Kaohsiung, TAIWAN
    Kaohsiung, TAIWAN Deepening of Berths 65 and 66 There are currently seven international harbours in Taiwan playing important roles in economic development: Keelung, Kaohsiung, Hualien, Taichung, Suao, Anping, and Taipei. The port of Kaohsiung is Taiwan’s leading international commercial port with Anping serving as its auxiliary harbour. The deep-water port of Kaohsiung is the marine transit hub for East Asia and South Taiwan. Featuring a natural harbour and two access channels with depths of 11 and 16 metres, the 2,683-hectare port is capable of handling up to 100,000-DWT vessels. Kaohsiung currently has five container terminals and a total of 118 berths – including 26 container berths – which can accommodate 6,000-TEU post-Panamax container ships. Handling over 70% of Taiwan’s container traffic and 60% of the country’s total international trade volume, the harbour has been the world’s third largest container port for many years, with a container throughput of 10 million TEU in 2006. Plans have been made to benefit from geographical advantages and nearby software and hardware facilities to speed up the development of Kaohsiung Harbour.

Already in Mainland China, CAT had had its own repair shop: the S.S.Chung, a former US Navy Landing Ship Tank (LST). Since February 1949, the LST floated on the Whampoo River near Shanghai, then navigated to the Pearl River near Canton, and finally escaped to Hong Kong, from where it was salvaged to Taiwan, together with an auxiliary barge called the Buddha that had been acquired at Shanghai in March 1949.1 Together with some Quonset huts and other constructions, all this formed a fully equipped machine shop, including paint, fabric, hydraulic, electric, woodworking, plating, print, instrument, and propeller shops, as well as ward rooms and sleeping quarters for the hundreds of Chinese working there. 1 Smith, China Pilot, p.131; Leary, Manuscript, p.88, in: UTD/Leary/B19F1. 1 CAT’s LST Chung 118 at Kaohsiung in early 1951: front, deck, and Quonset huts (CAT Bulletin, vol.
