From @reuters — “Azar is coming to strengthen economic and public-health cooperation with Taiwan and support Taiwan’s international role in fighting the pandemic. On Monday he will sign a health cooperation memorandum of understanding with Taiwan’s government and visit Taiwan’s Centres for Disease Control. The United States has had more coronavirus cases and deaths than any other country, and the wearing of masks has become a heated political issue, with some people objecting to what they see as an infringement of personal freedom.” Full article linked here and in bio: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-taiwan-usa/u-s-health-chief-arrives-in-taiwan-on-trip-condemned-by-china-idUSKCN2550DI

Reconciling coming out with Taiwanese and American

Reconciling coming out with Taiwanese and American culture can be a persistent tug-of-war. The American approach centers individualism, which clashes with collectivist values like 面子 (saving face) or 孝心 (filial piety) that are ingrained alongside rigid gender norms and heteronormativity in my family.⁠

The term “Taiwan zhiguang,” or “the pride and glory of Taiwan,” has been used to describe the likes of Chien-Ming Wang, Yani Tseng and Jeremy Lin among other Taiwanese and Taiwanese American athletes. Their accomplishments range from World Series titles to Olympic gold medals, and in addition to playing their respective sports, these athletes have also become cultural ambassadors for Taiwanese and Taiwanese Americans throughout the world. ⁠

"During the past decade, Taiwan's burgeoning coffee scene has gained more attention, but the stories from news articles have tended towards the creative cafes and talented baristas who import quality beans from other major producers in the world. Rarely told is the story of Taiwan's own home-grown coffee bean. For connoisseurs of fine coffee, many do know that some of the best beans are grown in the high mountain regions around Yunlin county--a perfect altitude for production. In fact, if one visits central Taiwan, consider trekking around the regions of Gukeng township outside of Alishan where some of the well-known coffee farms can be found. " ⁠

“Peter Tsai, the Taiwanese American inventor of the N95 mask technology, shared his thoughts on working in a time of rising anti-Asian sentiment and anxieties due to the coronavirus pandemic. Tsai, who immigrated to the United States in 1981 to earn his doctorate, volunteers his time and expertise to fight the virus and its transmission. While the pandemic has been marked with an uptick in hate incidents toward the Asian American community, Tsai, who's based in Knoxville, Tennessee, told NBC Asian America that he jumped at the opportunity to work.” From @nbcasianamerica • linked here and in bio: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/taiwanese-immigrant-who-invented-n95-mask-working-amid-covid-19-n1233777

On June 30, Taiwan Digital Minister Audrey Tang joined CNN to share Taiwan's pandemic experience and how the country of Taiwan has managed to contain the coronavirus without issuing a nationwide lockdown. During a video interview with CNN, Tang pointed out that the country has so far recorded less than 500 infections and seven deaths. She said the Taiwanese government established the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) after it learned its lesson from the 2003 SARS pandemic. This contributed enormously to the effectiveness of the country's response. Tang mentioned that the CECC started its preparation for the COVID-19 battle soon after Taiwanese health officials spotted Chinese reports of a mysterious pneumonia on December 31. She said that the health department's alertness was vital in preventing virus carriers from crossing the country's borders. In regard to coronavirus rumors and misinformation, Tang noted that Taiwan has adopted a "humor before rumor" approach to minimize panic behaviors. Taking the example of the panic buying of toilet paper, she said that the government used a cartoon featuring a booty-shaking Taiwan Premier Su Tseng-chang to remind the public that everyone only has one butt and hoarding is unnecessary. Tang also elaborated on Taiwan's exclusion from the World Health Organization (WHO) and criticized the international health body for ignoring the East Asian nation's initial pandemic warning. However, she said that the country was able to engage in meaningful knowledge exchanges with 14 other countries prior to the World Health Assembly held in Geneva, Switzerland at the end of May. Watch the 10 minute clip here and see minister Tang sign off with the iconic “Live Long And Prosper” Vulcan salutation from Star Trek.

“Clearly, the erosion of Hong Kong’s rights and freedom since 1997 has heightened Taiwan citizens’ fear of a political integration with the Chinese mainland and hardened their resistance to Beijing’s unification offer. For many Taiwan citizens, “today’s Hong Kong” could be “tomorrow’s Taiwan” if they do not resist.”

“Tiffany Chang (張易涵) @tiffcooksalot — a Taiwanese-born chef who moved to the U.S. when she was 12, won the "Golden Apple" prize on Netflix's popular food show "Crazy Delicious" after she impressed judges with several beloved Taiwanese snacks, including pig's blood cake (豬血糕). During the second episode of the U.K. cooking competition, in which contestants were asked to put together three takeout dishes for the judges to taste, Chang decided to take a chance with the pig's blood cake and serve it in the style of American hot dogs. She also made Taiwanese fried chicken, sweet potato fries, and peanut butter mochi bites.” I mean, YUMMMMM. 🤤 Taiwan News article linked here and in bio: https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3956775
