By design: will expo help New Taipei City emerge from the smog?
The following article appeared in the October issue of Taiwan Business TOPICS, the magazine of the American Chamber of Commerce. Design is not the first thing most people would associate with New Taipei City. Some of the districts in this special municipality, which was formed in 2010 from the contiguous townships and cities surrounding Taipei, […] -
Homeward bound: The remarkable career of Ho Te-lai
The following article appeared in today’s Taipei Times. This piece was very personal to me as it is about my children’s great-great-granduncle – a painter who has only really started to gain the recognition he deserves (at least in Taiwan) over the last 30 years. Many hours of research went into this over a course of […] -
Kosovo and Taiwan eye an alliance of outsiders
The following article was published on the Foreign Policy website today: Nowhere is Washington held in higher esteem than in the small Balkan nation of Kosovo. On Bill Clinton Boulevard in Pristina, Kosovo’s capital, a statue of the former U.S. president waves cheerily to passersby. Clinton’s secretary of state, Madeleine Albright—who in 1999 pushed for […] -
Is North Macedonia poised to reboot its ‘Taiwan Adventure?’
The following article was published on The Diplomat’s website today. The “Taiwan adventure,” it was called. Or the “Taiwan billion.” Or – rather more prosaically – the “Taiwan loans case.” It all depends on who you ask. “I guess the ‘Taiwan billion-dollar affair’ could be a working term,” said Filip Stojanovski. “Though maybe not so […] -
Strait talk: Taipei Times review of ‘War and Peace in the Taiwan Strait’
The following review appeared in today’s edition of Taipei Times: How likely is war in the Taiwan Strait? What kind of conflict might it be? What circumstances would be most likely to trigger it? And how can these circumstances be averted? These are the central questions of this penetrating and perspicuous work. Having examined various […] -
Taiwan’s stand-up scene: a laughing matter
The following article appeared in the July issue of Taiwan Business TOPICS, the magazine of the American Chamber of Commerce in Taiwan. Twenty years ago, live stand-up comedy was a rarity in Taiwan. Now, thanks to the efforts of a committed core of performers, things have taken off – though not necessarily in a direction […] -
Rebooting Taiwan’s SMEs for new challenges
The following article was a cover story for this month’s issue of Taiwan Business Topics, the magazine of the American Chamber of Commerce in Taiwan: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which represent 99% of all enterprises in Taiwan, have been cited as a linchpin to the country’s rapid post-war development. Yet SMEs across the island […] -
Droppin’ hip-hop knowledge, Taiwan-style (‘Renegade Rhymes’ review for Taipei Times)
The following review appeared in today’s Taipei Times. Confession: Despite being a diehard fan of golden age hip-hop and having had the privilege to interview some stalwarts of that era, including Public Enemy, Ice T and DJ Premier, during my early years in Taiwan, my grasp of Taiwanese rap music is feeble. MC Hot Dog, […] -
The Ukrainian eyeing long-term cooperation with Taiwan
This is the original version of a piece that appeared in today’s Taipei Times. Even among the diverse gathering at the Liberty Square arch, Glib Ivanov stands out. At 192cm, the 24-year-old Odesa native towers above the crowd, and his floppy mop of hair accentuates this. With a pair of oversized black spectacles, peach-fuzz goatee, […] -
Taiwan’s old Southbound Policy (Global Asia review of ‘Imperial Gateway’)
The following book review appeared in the March issue of Global Asia. When Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen unveiled her administration’s “New Southbound Policy” in 2016, it’s unlikely that historical parallels with imperial Japan crossed her mind. Yet as this compelling monograph reveals, from the moment Taiwan was ceded to Japan, plans to turn the island […]
