SUMMARY:Taiwan Workshop featuring Thung-Hong Lin — Stormy Seas: Taiwan’s Democratic Resilience under China’s Sharp Power
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Thung-Hong Lin\, Research Fellow\, Institute of Sociology\, Academia Sinica\, Taiwan.  \n\n\n\nHow can a small democracy resist the influence of a powerful authoritarian neighbor? Taiwan is often praised for its successful economic development and peaceful democratic transition\, yet it faces substantial challenges from both internal political divisions and external geopolitical pressures. Taiwan’s political landscape is shaped by several major cleavages\, including national identity\, economic inequality and class conflict\, and generational and cultural differences. The greatest challenge to Taiwan’s democracy comes from China\, which has sought to exploit these cleavages through economic leverage\, propaganda\, and political interference. Under the pressure of Beijing’s sharp power\, Taiwan’s democracy has repeatedly faced threats of regression. Yet each time these pressures escalate\, Taiwan’s civil society has mobilized in response\, playing a crucial role in defending democratic institutions. Drawing on case studies such as the 2014 Sunflower Movement\, the 2019 wave of solidarity with Hong Kong protests\, and recent civic mobilizations in 2024\, this talk highlights how Taiwan’s vibrant civil society has become a key source of democratic resilience. \n\n\n\nThe talk is based on Lin’s forthcoming book\, Stormy Seas: Taiwan Under the Shadow of China in the 21st Century (Stanford University Press\, forthcoming September 2026)\, which situates Taiwan’s democratic resilience within the broader trajectory of U.S.–China relations and global geopolitics over the past half century. \n\n\n\nThung-Hong Lin is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Sociology\, Academia Sinica\, Taiwan. He studies inequality\, political economy\, disasters\, and Taiwan’s democracy\, and was a 2023–24 Stanford–Taiwan Social Science Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) and a Fulbright Fellow. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Taiwan Workshop featuring Wu Jieh-min — Weaponized Interdependence: How Taiwan Is Rethinking its “Silicon Shield”
DESCRIPTION:Google meet link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Wu Jieh-min\, Distinguished Research Fellow\, Institute of Sociology\, Academia Sinica\, Taiwan; Co-founder\, Center for Contemporary China\, National Tsing Hua University \n\n\n\nModerator: Ya-Wen Lei\,  Professor\, Department of Sociology\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThe “Silicon Shield” is often treated as a Taiwan-centered\, overly-fixed concept that emphasizes Taiwan’s technological indispensability as a rationale for its defense. 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

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. Following the screening\, the filmmakers will participate in a conversation with Dennis Lim\, Artistic Director of the New York Film Festival. \n\n\n\nTiff Rekem
: 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.
  \n\n\n\nThis event is co-presented by the Film Study Center at Harvard University and ArtsThursdays\, a university-wide initiative supported by Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Taiwan Studies Workshop featuring Andrew Erickson — Taiwan's Security: What's at Risk and What's at Stake?
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. He is also Professor of Strategy in the U.S. Naval War College (NWC)’s China Maritime Studies Institute\, which he helped establish and has served as Research Director. Erickson has received the Navy Superior Civilian Service Medal\, NWC’s inaugural Civilian Faculty Research Excellence Award\, and NBR’s inaugural Ellis Joffe Prize for PLA Studies. Erickson’s latest coedited volume\, Chinese Amphibious Warfare: Prospects for a Cross-Strait Invasion\, has been named the Samuel B. Griffith Foundation’s 2025 Publication of the Year and selected for the Commandant of the Marine Corps Professional Reading Program’s 2025 Reading List. Taiwan’s Defense Ministry published a Chinese-language translation of his coedited volume on China’s Maritime Gray Zone Operations in 2023. \n\n\n\nDisclaimer: The views expressed by Dr. Erickson are his alone\, based solely on open sources and offered from an independent academic perspective. They do not represent the policies or estimates of the U.S. Navy or any other organization of the U.S. government\, or of any other organization with which he is affiliated.

SUMMARY:Visiting Scholar Lecture featuring Po-Chang (Paul) Huang - Sleepwalking into a China-Taiwan War? 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

SUMMARY:Lung Yingtai - My Life in an Indigenous Village
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lung Yingtai\, Writer\, Former Minister of Culture of TaiwanChair: Elizabeth J. Perry\, Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute; Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nSince Lung Yingtai relocated to an indigenous village in eastern Taiwan three years ago\, she sought to comprehend the elements that comprise her life\, including the journey of her daily water supply from the mountain’s depths to her garden pond. Furthermore\, she regularly encounters cobras\, wild boars and crab-eating mongooses\, prompting her to examine the impact of cultural as well as environmental “encroachment” on the wildlife and people residing in the untouched forest. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Lung Yingtai is a writer\, literary critic and public intellectual. Lung not only has a large number of devoted readers in her native Taiwan\, but her works also have great influence in the Chinese-language world in Singapore\, Malaysia\, China\, and North America. Lung entered public service as Taipei City Government’s first minister of culture in 1999 and served as Taiwan’s inaugural Minister of Culture from 2012-2014. She is author of more than two dozen books\, including essays\, fiction\, reportage\, and literary criticism. Her 1985 book\, The Wild Fire\, created a major cultural stir for its honest and introspective look at the social and political problems facing contemporary Taiwan society. Big River\, Big Sea: Untold Stories of 1949\, published in 2009\, became a must-read in greater China despite that it has been banned in China. She was Hung Leung Hao Ling Distinguished Fellow in Humanities at the University of Hong Kong from 2015-2020. \n\n\n\nOrganized by the Harvard-Yenching Institute\, and co-sponsored with the Harvard University Asia Center\, the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, and the Boston University Center for the Study of Asia \n\n\n\nMore information: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/my-life-in-an-indigenous-village/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Bonnie Glaser - How Great is the Risk of War Over Taiwan?
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

SUMMARY:Hsin-Hsin Pan - Foreign Visits and the Image of National Security Defender: An Analysis of Voter Attitudes in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Hsin-Hsin Pan\, Post-doctoral research fellow at the Center for Humanities and Social Science\, Academia Sinica\, Taipei\, Taiwan\nDiscussant: Chong Ja Ian\, Associate Professor\, Department of Political Science\, National University of Singapore \nThis paper looks into the effect of foreign visits to major powers on an image of national security defenders for politicians of minor powers. We have three findings. First\, foreign visits are effective. Second\, visits to the US is more so than China. Moreover\, visits to the US in perceived fair Taiwan-US relations for reassurance of informal ally\, but  visits to China in perceived bad Taiwan-China relations for damage control. \nFor more information about the speaker’s research\, please visit https://sites.google.com/site/phsinhsin/
