💬 "Rather than complete regionalization, we’re seeing the development of “trusted networks” of supply chains that span multiple friendly nations." Yu-Ning Chiu, a policy analyst at the Research Institute for Democracy, Society, and Emerging Technology (DSET), explores #Taiwan's future path under #US and #EU's realignment regarding #SupplyChain and #GreenTransformation.

"Before 1987, most museums viewed #China as their main subject and #Taiwan was rarely—if ever—discussed in the exhibition space. However, after 1987, there was a blossoming of Taiwanese consciousness throughout the island and #museums were no different." Lee Moore, an adjunct professor at the University of Oregon, published a report "Taiwan’s Museums: Exploring the Process of #Taiwanesization" as a part of #GTI Taiwan Scholarship Program. Moore discusses how Taiwan's museums have evolved to reflect and shape Taiwanese #identity, analyzing three museums as examples: The National Taiwan Museum, National Palace Museum, and the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum.
