#TaiwaneseAmerican Peter Tsai has been in the news

#TaiwaneseAmerican Peter Tsai has been in the news a lot lately as “the man behind the mask.” ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
“The retired inventor of N95 masks is back at work to fight Covid-19,” reads a Washington Post headline; “scientist-inventor a humble national hero,” another news agency chirps. But the depth and vibrance of Tsai’s living legacy is best known by his two daughters, who have not only borne witness to the N95 mask’s far-reaching impact during a global pandemic, but to its long development process as well, conducted in tandem with Tsai’s extraordinary devotion to his family. We’re honored to share this special perspective on an international hero, “the dad behind the mask.” ⁠⠀

👀 @tsai_ingwen for the @time 100 Most Influential People of 2020 • Posted @withregram • @tsai_ingwen 今天稍早，美國 @time 雜誌公布2020年百大影響力人物（100 most influential people 2020），我很榮幸能名列其中，並獲得美國聯邦參議員克魯茲（Ted Cruz）寫文章推薦。

@keeptaiwanfree typically organizes a full in-pers

@keeptaiwanfree typically organizes a full in-person rally in New York City every year to raise awareness about the importance of safeguarding Taiwan’s often-threatened democracy. You might remember that last year’s event included support for Hong Kongers, Tibetans, and Uighurs. This year, their socially-distanced outreach includes care packages with #madeinTaiwan face masks and an educational postcard for longtime and potential allies of @keeptaiwanfree and #UNforTaiwan. Please follow @keeptaiwanfree for more details on their merch + care packages!

Reporter @stephanielintv chats with #taiwanesecanadian Hollywood star @chasetangofficial (of Netflix's #JupitersLegacy, among others) on how how his past experiences with extreme depression and anxiety have helped inform his work in mental wellness advocacy. "This has been an unbelievably difficult year," writes Stephanie, "I hope his story helps to de-stigmatize therapy, particularly in a culture that champions high performance above all else." ⁠

Guest contributor Joy Chiu interviews Zero Chou, whose film "Spider Lilies" was featured in Austin Asian American Film Festival's "Prismatic Taiwan" series earlier this month. ⁠
⁠
"In Taiwan, I am labeled as the lesbian director, probably because I have filmed many queer films... I don’t mind it because I did spend a lot of energy advancing the LGBTQ* movement. But, our society needs to reach a point where we no longer need this label. There is no need, not at all!" ⁠

From guest contributor Eric Chang, another perspective for Taiwanese America to consider: ⁠⠀
"Under the Trump administration there has been a fundamental shift in terms of U.S. policy toward China, one that takes into account the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) threat to American interests and values. When country after country has turned a blind eye to Beijing’s treatment of Taipei, Taiwan has welcomed the United States’ newly hardened stance."⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As noted before, the views and opinions expressed in all perspectives pieces are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of TaiwaneseAmerican.org as a non-profit organization.⁠⠀

From guest contributors and Taiwanese Americans Un

From guest contributors and Taiwanese Americans United, an open letter to the Taiwanese American community on securing Taiwan's democracy through the upcoming presidential election:⁠⠀
"Under the Trump administration, the United States is weaker, not stronger. The security of Taiwan and the Asia Pacific region is based on the principles enshrined in the U.S. Constitution: democracy for all. Trump’s actions to isolate and weaken the United States will only endanger the entire Asia Pacific region to China’s attempts at expansionism. To strengthen the United States, secure Taiwan’s democracy for future generations, and protect Taiwan’s security, we must vote Trump out of office in November."⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The full letter is published in both English and traditional Chinese. ⁠⠀

The Austin Asian American Film Festival (AAAFF) is

The Austin Asian American Film Festival (AAAFF) is thrilled to co-present a virtual, six-film series celebrating the past and present of queer Taiwanese cinema. The viewing period for all films–including exclusive filmmaker Q&As–will be September 4-13, 2020. Access to the films will be available on the festival’s newly re-designed website, aaafilmfest.org.⁠
⁠
The legalization of same-sex marriage in Taiwan (which took effect in May 2019) inspired the AAAFF team to examine the evolution of LGBTQ subjects throughout the country’s cinematic history. The resulting lineup of films (many of which were never released or remain elusive in the United States) spans 1970 to 2016, and includes such key filmmaking figures in Taiwanese cinema as Tsai Ming-liang, Mickey Chen, and Zero Chou.⁠
⁠
Ticket pre-sales start on August 28 (don't worry, we'll remind you!)⁠
