Alford\, Jerome A. and Joan L. Cohen Professor of Law; Director\, East Asian Legal Studies Program; Chair\, Harvard Law School Project on Disability\, Harvard Law School \n\n\n\nTaiwan’s political status often dominates headlines. Yet its legal status — the foundation of U.S. policy — remains underdiscussed. At this event\, Paul Tsai China Center Senior Fellow Dr. Peter Dutton will trace Taiwan’s territorial status from the Qing Dynasty to the present day\, shedding light on the legal principles and historical developments that define its position in the world.  \n\n\n\nPeter Dutton is a senior research fellow at the Paul Tsai China Center and Professor Emeritus at the U.S. Naval War College. Before coming to Yale\, Dutton served the U.S. Navy for more than 40 years in active duty and civilian capacities.

This talk challenges that view by situating Taiwan within the deep and highly interdependent global semiconductor supply chain. It argues that Taiwan’s future industrial development depends on deeper integration with democratic partners—an approach through which Taiwan can contribute to the rebuilding of U.S. high-tech manufacturing while also strengthening its own global economic position. \n\n\n\nWu Jieh-min is a Distinguished Research Fellow at the Institute of Sociology\, Academia Sinica\, Taiwan\, and a co-founder of the Center for Contemporary China at National Tsing Hua University. His research focuses on geopolitics\, democratization\, and development\, with particular attention to Taiwan–China relations\, Hong Kong–China relations\, and the global political economy. He is the author of Rival Partners: How Taiwanese Entrepreneurs and Guangdong Officials Forged the China Development Model (Harvard University Asia Center\, 2022)\, which received the 2023 ASA Global and Transnational Sociology Best Publication Award by an International Scholar. He is currently working on a book project titled Global Taiwan. \n\n\n\nGoogle Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/puv-bqok-zwt \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue URL:https://fairbank.fas.harvard.edu/events/taiwan-studies-workshop-featuring/ LOCATION:Presented via Google Meet CATEGORIES:Taiwan,Taiwan Studies ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fairbank.fas.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Jieh-min.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251113T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251113T200000 DTSTAMP:20260505T173201 CREATED:20251106T140148Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251106T140545Z UID:43161-1763056800-1763064000@fairbank.fas.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Films from the Film Study Center: Screening and Conversation DESCRIPTION:Please join us\, in partnership with ArtsThursdays\, for a special screening of short films by Darol Olu Kae\, Kendra McLaughlin\, Tiff Rekem\, and Svetlana Romanova—current fellows at the Film Study Center at Harvard.

: Trilogy (working title)\, 2026\, work in progress\, 15 min. Ten years ago\, prominent director of Taiwan popular cinema Wei Te-sheng (魏德聖) set out to make three historical epics set during the little-known 17th-century Dutch colonial period in Taiwan — until the production fell apart\, unfinished\, in 2025. This project refashions the visual and sonic traces of the Taiwan Trilogy into an alternative historical period piece that\, during a time of rising nationalism in Taiwan\, observes the construction of cinema as the construction of a national identity. A work in progress. \n\n\n\nKendra McLaughlin
: Lo que las olas no rompen (What the Waves Don’t Break)\, 2026\, work in progress\, 12min 30s. Along Lima’s southern coast\, men fish\, camels eat\, and life cycles through death and back again. \n\n\n\nSvetlana Romanova: Hinkelten\, 2023\, Russia\, 15 min.
Filmed in the Yakutian Arctic and constructed out of personal poems and notes\, this visual essay poses questions about our perception of contemporaneity and image production’s intersection with the creation of narratives around the idea of love (romantic\, platonic\, intimate\, and maternal). \n\n\n\nDarol Olu Kae: Keeping Time\, 2023\, USA\, 32 min. Keeping Time is a kaleidoscopic audiovisual homage to musicians who pass on the magic and the communities that nourish them.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrew S. Erickson\, Visiting Scholar\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies; Professor of Strategy\, China Maritime Studies Institute\, U.S. Naval War CollegeThis presentation addresses the subject of Taiwan’s security—not from a political or policy standpoint\, but rather from a geographical\, historical\, military operational\, and strategic perspective. It explicates Taiwan’s geostrategic position and surveys the military aspects of key events regarding cross-Strait security\, with particular focus on China’s aborted invasion plans for 1950; as well as the 1954–55\, 1958\, and 1995–96 crises\, and sophisticated large-scale exercises beginning in 2022. It explains China’s current all-domain pressure campaign against Taiwan\, as well as the evolving operational capabilities and potential military campaigns that Xi has ordered his armed forces to prepare as part of his signature military development deadline: the Centennial Military Building Goal of 2027. It concludes by considering Taiwan’s strategic significance. \n\n\n\nAndrew S. Erickson is a Visiting Scholar at the Fairbank Center.

The Underreported Crisis over Kinmen and the Danger it Entails DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Po-Chang (Paul) Huang\, Fairbank Center Visiting Scholar; Research Fellow\, Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation \n\n\n\nDiscussant: Steven Goldstein\, Director\, Taiwan Studies Workshop\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies \n\n\n\nOn February 14\, 2024\, a tiny Chinese fishing raft collided with a Taiwan Coast boat near the waters of Kinmen\, a Taiwan-controlled island just miles off China’s Fujian coast. Two Chinese fishermen drowned as a result\, and a huge Chinese public outrage against Taiwan ensued. In the months that followed Chinese Coast Guard started regular incursions into Taiwan’s declared “restricted waters” around Kinmen which effectively nullified the unspoken boundaries that have been maintained for decades across the two sides. \n\n\n\nPaul Huang\, a Taiwanese security researcher and a visiting fellow at the Fairbank Center\, will discuss this underreported crisis and why its risks at hand are far greater than most realized. While Western observers dismissed it as a small fishing incident\, Huang argues the events since February point clearly to Chinese government’s calculated escalation that have been unprecedented in recent history of cross-strait relations. Instead of backing down quietly as Taiwan government assumed\, Beijing seems determined to use this as a steppingstone for a much larger use-of-force operation against Taiwan\, which will be of grave consequences to both sides of the strait. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue URL:https://fairbank.fas.harvard.edu/events/visiting-scholar-lecture-featuring-po-chang-paul-huang-sleepwalking-into-a-china-taiwan-war-the-underreported-crisis-over-kinmen-and-the-danger-it-entails/ LOCATION:CGIS South Room S354\, 1730 Cambridge St\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, United States CATEGORIES:Taiwan,Taiwan Studies ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fairbank.fas.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Paul-Huang.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240402T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240402T140000 DTSTAMP:20260505T173201 CREATED:20240321T191755Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240401T143634Z UID:35898-1712059200-1712066400@fairbank.fas.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Rethinking Taiwan and the World: Presentations by the Fairbank Center’s 2023-24 Fellows in Taiwan Studies DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:Shinyi Hsieh\, Hou Family Postdoctoral Fellow in Taiwan Studies\, Fairbank Center; PhD\, History of Health Sciences Program\, Dept of Humanities and Social Sciences\, University of California-San Francisco – Navigating Geomedical Borders: A Critical Analysis of NAMRU-2’s Operations in Taiwan and Southeast Asia\, 1955-1975.  Anatol Klass\, Hou Family Predoctoral Fellow in Taiwan Studies\, Fairbank Center; PhD Candidate in History\, University of California\, Berkeley – Building the Department of African Affairs: Institutional and Strategic Developments in Taiwan’s Foreign Policy During the Early Cold War  Julia Famularo\, Postdoctoral Fellow in Taiwan Studies\, Fairbank Center; PhD in Modern Asian Political History\, Georgetown University – Taiwan’s Substitute Military Service Program: Reform and Expansion Under the Tsai and Incoming Lai Administrations \n\n\n\nLunch will be provided.

DESCRIPTION:  \n \n \nThere is an intense debate among experts over the likelihood of a near-term Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Senior US military officers have warned that a PRC military action could take place in the next six years. Such dire predictions are largely based on estimates of PLA capabilities. But even if China can seize and control Taiwan\, will it do so? Assessing the potential for such an attack also requires an understanding of Xi Jinping’s strategy toward Taiwan and his risk/benefit calculus. The policies of the United States and Taiwan\, and how they are viewed in Beijing\, also need to be taken into account. \nSpeaker: Bonnie Glaser\, Director\, Asia Program\, German Marshall Fund of the United States \n\n\nBonnie S. Glaser is director of the Asia Program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States. She was previously senior adviser for Asia and the director of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Ms. Glaser is concomitantly a nonresident fellow with the Lowy Institute in Sydney\, Australia\, and a senior associate with the Pacific Forum. For more than three decades\, Ms. Glaser has worked at the intersection of Asia-Pacific geopolitics and U.S. policy. \n\n\n\n\nTranscript: Download Transcript URL:https://fairbank.fas.harvard.edu/events/critical-issues-confronting-china-series-featuring-bonnie-glaser/ CATEGORIES:Critical Issues Confronting China,Critical Issues Confronting China Series,Taiwan,Taiwan Studies END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200602T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200602T104500 DTSTAMP:20260505T173201 CREATED:20200521T163301Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200521T163301Z UID:9305-1591088400-1591094700@fairbank.fas.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Webinar - The Challenge of COVID-19: The Taiwan Experience DESCRIPTION:Harvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies · The Challenge of COVID 19: The Taiwan Experience\nRead and download the transcript of this event here. \n  \nSpeakers:\nJen-Hsiang Chuang\, Deputy Director-General at Centers for Disease Control\, Taiwan\nSteve Kuo\, President\, National Yang-Ming University\, Taiwan \nModerators:\nWinnie Yip\, Professor of the Practice of Global Health Policy and Economics in the Department of Global Health and Population\, Harvard T.H.

In the early stages of colonization\, the Japanese colonizers imposed their own laws and regulations on the two newly acquired colonies of Taiwan and Korea. Legislation stipulated that brothels and prostitutes had to be registered\, and prostitutes had to undergo regular checks for sexually transmitted diseases. \nPrevious studies on the history of colonial Korea have widely agreed that the traditional practices of the sex industry in Chosŏn Korea underwent significant changes during Japanese rule. However\, the issue of how state-regulated prostitution policies influenced Taiwanese society and shaped its sex industries requires further discussion. \nIn an attempt to understand how the Japanese state-regulated prostitution system was implemented in colonial Taiwan\, this talk focuses particularly on the emergence and spread of Korean prostitutes and brothels across Taiwan from the 1920’s onwards. By exploring the process of one-way migration of Korean prostitutes to Taiwan\, the talk seeks to bring to light the different survival strategies of Korean brothel operators in Taiwan and Korea\, and to offer new insights on the unique traits of the Taiwanese sex-trade market compared to Korea. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/living-edge-korean-brothels-colonial-taiwan URL:https://fairbank.fas.harvard.edu/events/living-on-the-edge-korean-brothels-in-colonial-taiwan/ CATEGORIES:Events of Interest,Gender Studies,Taiwan Studies END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
