Today, awareness of gender equity has taken root while visibility and acceptance of the LGBTI community has increased in the Taiwanese society. In the meantime, human rights organizations and women and gender organizations have improved legal and policy protections for the LGBTI community through advocacy, lobbying and applying political pressure. However, living in today’s Taiwan, LGBTI individuals still constantly face discriminations, violations of rights and lack of protection in various aspects of their life. As Taiwanese Constitutional Court’s interpretation on same-sex marriage is likely to contribute to its legalization in two years, Taiwan Tongzhi (LGBTQ+) Hotline Association wishes to expand our work on LGBTI equity to aspects other than marriage equality.

  • Ex-HTC Designers Go to Jail for Suspected Expense Fraud and Trade Secret Theft
    Sep 02, 2013 12:06 BST Ex-HTC designers go to jail for suspected expense fraud and trade secret theft Ex-HTC designers have gone to jail for suspected expense fraud and trade secret theft. According to Engadget, “Several top designers at HTC were arrested in Taipei under suspicion of fraudulent expense claims, as well as stealing trade secrets ahead of leaving the company to run a new mobile design firm in both Taiwan and mainland China. Five people were interrogated, with the most notable ones being Vice President of Product Design Thomas Chien (pictured above), R&D director Wu Chien Hung and design team senior manager Justin Huang (who also personally sketched out the One’s design). Chien and Wu are taken into custody, whereas the others were released on bail (see video after the break). Their offices were also raided yesterday as part of the investigation. “Reports say HTC chairwoman Cher Wang personally filed a complaint to Taiwan’s Investigation Bureau, which has since learned that Chien, Wu and Huang planned to set up a new design company (which is already registered under the Chinese name “Xiaoyu”) aimed at the mainland Chinese market, and that they would resign after claiming their mid-year bonuses yesterday. The real beef HTC has here is that it apparently caught Chien secretly downloading files related to the upcoming Sense 6.0 UI design, and then shared them with external contacts via e-mail. The Investigation Bureau refused to comment on whether Sense 6.0 is related to the One Max due later this year.

  • Merger and Takeover Attempts in Taiwanese Party Politics
    This is the author’s accepted version of a forthcoming article in Issues and Studies that will be published by National ChengChi University: http://issues.nccu.edu.tw/ Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/24849/ Merger and Takeover Attempts in Taiwanese Party Politics Dafydd Fell, Department of Politics and International Studies, SOAS University of London Introduction It is often assumed that in mature democracies party mergers are rare. Mair’s study of Western European parties found only 18 cases between 1945 and 1987, with almost half of them taking place in just two countries, Italy and Finland.1 Since the Second World War the only merger of relevant political parties in the United Kingdom was between the Social Democratic Party and Liberal Party in 1988. Unsurprisingly the literature on party merging was until recently quite limited. However, party mergers in consolidated democracies such as in Canada, the Netherlands and Germany in the post Cold War period has led to a renewed interest in the phenomenon.2 In fact a recent study that found 94 European party 3 merger cases in the post-war period suggests mergers are becoming more common. Party mergers are more frequent in new democracies where the party system is not yet fully institutionalised. Since the early 1990s the South Korean party system has featured a seemingly endless pattern of party splits and mergers.4 In another Asian democracy, Japan, party mergers have played a critical role in the development of its party system. For instance, after a period of extensive party splinters and new party start-ups, a major party merger between 1997 and 1998 allowed the Democratic Party of Japan to become a viable 5 challenger to the Liberal Democratic Party for government.

  • “You Can't Say 'Chinese'!”: Negotiating Taiwan's National Identity Crisis
    “You can’t say ‘Chinese’!”: Negotiating Taiwan’s National Identity Crisis Discourses on Political TV Call-In Shows Alice R. Chu University of Texas at Austin Within Taiwan, two national identity ideologies prevail. One considers Taiwan as a part of “China” and its people as being “Chinese”, while the other declares Taiwan as a sovereign nation-state with a separate “Taiwanese” identity. Thus, discussing the nation’s or presenting one’s own national identity is not only sociopolitically controversial in Taiwan, but also proves personally complex for the individual. In my analysis of call-in show discussions, I examine how participants use reported speech, or constructed dialogue, to discuss the issue of national identity. As the literature on reported speech suggests, what is considered to be “quoted speech” or “reported speech” can be more accurately described as constructing dialogue in an active, creative, and transforming manner (Tannen, 1989). Hypothetical reported speech allows speakers to enact “thought experiments” of “real world” tensions while reconciling opposing views (Myers, 1999). Drawing from these perspectives, this paper explores how TV call-in show participants strategically use constructed dialogue to animate, negotiate, and perpetuate contesting discourses surrounding Taiwan’s national identity crisis. 1. Introduction On May 6, 2000, two weeks before being inaugurated, President of the Republic of China (ROC) (a.k.a.Taiwan), Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) declared at a press conference1 that the country faced an “identity disorder problem”2 and that the “feeling of being unrooted was the [country’s] greatest crisis.”3 The “crisis” he referred to was the issue of Taiwan’s national identity; that is, did the people of Taiwan regard themselves as 1 The Taiwanese TV program 2100 replayed selected footage of this press conference in a video clip at the beginning of the episode (“Big reconciliation: what is our (national) identity?” May 31, 2000).

The church building used to be the home of Mr. Lin and his family. Five years ago, on February 28, 1980, Mr. Lin’s mother and twin-daughters were murdered there. Mr. Lin’s mother died of 13 knife wounds. The funeral stirred memories of their violent death and the still unsolved murder. Many people broke down and wept. After the funeral service, the hearse followed by about 60 cars and buses left for Mr. Lin’s hometown, I-Ian, on the east coast of Taiwan, where the three deceased were laid Lin Yi-hsiung and his family Taiwan Communiqué -2- February 1985 to rest. The murder continues to be a painful chapter in the history of the Taiwanese people’s strive for democracy and freedom.
