    Ep 291 | An Emergency Preparedness Guide for ExPats in Taiwan: Our Discussion with Author John Groot
    Sep 1 2024
    Earlier this summer, in June, I spoke with John Groot the author of An Emergency Preparedness Guide for Expats in Taiwan. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/an-emergency-preparedness-guide-for-expats-in-taiwan-our-discussion-with-survivalist-author-john-groot-ep-291/ John has made the book is available for free on his website and you download a copy of it by >> clicking here<<: https://thecultureshack.blog/2023/12/04/emergency-preparedness-guide-for-expats-in-taiwan/ Taiwan is of course no stranger to natural disasters since it often experiences earthquakes and typhoons. What’s raised eyebrows about John’s book is that it has a section that specifically addresses what to do in case of a military attack by China. Since 2020 China has upped its grey zone tactics by sending planes into Taiwan’s ADIZ on a daily basis. Concerns about civil defense preparedness in Taiwan peaked in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022, and then there was the PLA’s military actions in August of 2022 in response to Nancy Pelosi, the U.S. House Speaker at the time visiting Taiwan. John and I talked about the research involved in writing the guide, how people can be prepared in case of and emergency or disaster and why he felt it was necessary to include a section in the guide to address dealing with a possible invasion of Taiwan by China. John Groot is a long-time Canadian expat in Taiwan. He is an independent writer-researcher and has done one book and many articles about Taiwan's history, culture, and geography. Recently he has focused more on the security situation with regards to Chinese aggression toward Taiwan. One of his major recent projects was a 68 page PDF e-book called "Resilience Roadmap: An Emergency Preparedness Guide for Expats in Taiwan." Here’s a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: · John’s background and upbringing · How John got interested in civil defense and emergency preparedness · How Russia’s invasion in Ukraine in 2022 heightened interested in civil defense in Taiwan · How John learned about the NGO Open Knowledge aka OK Taiwan · Documentary filmmaker Tobie Openshaw · The PLA’s military actions in response to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in August 2022 · The civil defense handbook that was issued by Taiwan’s government and how it showed the difference between uniforms of Taiwan’s military and China’s PLA · How many expats there are in Taiwan, and the different types of expats · Issues with the path for expats to apply for nationality in Taiwan · The research John did for the book · Tobie Openshaw’s experience with the 921 Earthquake in Taiwan · Sweden’s defense system · Israel’s military service system · How France supports its citizens abroad · How long it took John to write the book · How the book is organized · The earthquake in Taiwan that caused a crane to fall from Taipei 101 · John’s experience with natural disasters in Taiwan · The acronyms in the book · The origin of the term “bug out” · How people can be prepared for emergencies or disasters · Having a communication plan in case of emergency or disaster · What students learn about dealing with natural disasters and emergencies · Liability issues in Taiwan when it comes to medically intervening to help someone · Why John felt that the book should address what to do in case of threat of war i.e. an attack on Taiwan by China · Meetings amongst the American communities in Taipei after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in August 2022 · The response John’s received to the book · Whether or not it is advisable to go to a government evacuation center · How in times of need it’s important to consider the needs of others · How families can prepare their children for dealing with disasters · How Taiwan and the U.S. do not want war with China · What John would like people to take away from the book · How John hopes that people can be prepared for emergencies or disasters Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/an-emergency-preparedness-guide-for-expats-in-taiwan-our-discussion-with-survivalist-author-john-groot-ep-291/

    Ep 290 | "Decathalon" The Story of Taiwan's Greatest Olympian: My Conversation with Award-Winning Journalist Mike Chinoy
    Aug 24 2024
    The recent Paris Olympics has just passed and may already be fading into memory. This year Team Taiwan won 2 gold medals and 5 bronze at the Olympics. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/my-conversation-with-mike-chinoy-award-winning-journalist-on-his-new-film-decathalon-ep-290/ Do you know when and who won Taiwan’s first Olympic medal? It happened at the 1960 Rome Olympics, which was the first Summer Olympics that was televised in North America. The man who was known as the “Iron Man of Asia,” C.K. Yang won a silver medal in the decathlon. C.K. was of the Amis indigenous tribe from southeastern Taiwan. His Amis name was Maysang Kalimud, but then Japan colonized Taiwan he had a Japanese name when, and then after the Chinese Nationalists the Kuomintang lost the civil war in China to the Chinese Communist and fled to Taiwan, his father gave him a Chinese name, Yang Chuan-kwang. Like many Amis, he used his athletic prowess to gain status and success that might otherwise have eluded him. But not much is known about how heavily he identified as Amis. The gold medal winner at the Rome Olympics was Rafer Johnson, an African American. Rafer and C.K. trained together under the same coach at UCLA and then competed against each other in the decathlon at the Rome Olympics. They were not only rivals but also the best of friends. Their extraordinary and unlikely friendship inspired the making of a documentary film and I sat down recently to speak with Mike Chinoy, the co-creator, co-writer, and co-producer of that film which is called "Decathlon: The CK Yang and Rafer Johnson Story,” Mike Chinoy is a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the University of Southern California’s US-China Institute and is based in Taipei. Previously, he spent 24 years as a foreign correspondent for CNN, serving as the network's first Beijing bureau chief and as Senior Asia Correspondent. "Decathlon: The CK Yang and Rafer Johnson Story" is currently streaming on the Taiwan Plus Docs YouTube channel. Here’s a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: · Team Taiwan’s performance during the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris · How flags and signs in the shape of Taiwan or with the word Taiwan on them were confiscated from fans during the men’s doubles badminton finals at the Paris Olympics · How China's state-run broadcaster CCTV cut the feed during parts of the men's badminton doubles match and did not broadcast the medal ceremony · Why Taiwan has to compete under the name “Chinese Taipei” at the Olympics · The “Iron Man of Asia” · The man that won Taiwan’s first Olympic medal · C.K. Yang was Amis and had three names, an Amis name (Maysang Kalimud), a Japanese name and a Chinese name (Yang Chuan-kwang, 楊傳廣) · How C.K. first met Rafer Johnson at the Melbourne Olympics in 1956 · How C.K. and Rafer were trained by the same coach at UCLA and became close friends · The International Olympic Committee (I.O.C) told the government of Chiang Kai-shek that the team sent to participate at the 1960 Rome Olympics could not be called the Republic of China · Chiang Kai-shek almost boycotted the Olympics but didn’t because he realized that C.K. Yang could possibly win a medal and bring glory to Taiwan · How Taiwan competed under the name Formosa during the 1960 Rome Olympics · C.K. Yang was the first person with a Chinese surname to win an Olympic medal · At the opening ceremony of the 1960 Rome Olympics Rafer Johnson was the first African American to carry the American flag at the Olympics · At the opening ceremony of the 1960 Rome Olympics, the Taiwan team marched in carrying a placard that said under protest, which was the first overt political protest by a team in Olympics history · Where the idea for "Decathlon: The CK Yang and Rafer Johnson Story" came from · How Mike’s co-creator, co-writer, and co-producer, John Krich sought out, befriended and interviewed C.K. Yang in 2006 · How Mike met and befriended Rafer Johnson and C.K.’s widow Daisy in Los Angeles · Taiwanese Canadian film director of "Decathlon: The CK Yang and Rafer Johnson Story," Frank W. Chen also directed “Late Life: The Chien-Ming Wang Story” · How C.K. Yang, Rafer Johnson and athletes have become political symbols · How C.K.

    Ep 289 | Dr. Linda Gail Arrigo: The Kaohsiung Incident - The Watershed Moment That Led to Taiwan's Democratization Part 2
    Jul 31 2024

    This is the second part of our interview with Dr. Linda Gail Arrigo, Ai Linda (艾琳達).
    Earlier this year when we were in Taiwan in January for the presidential election, we sat
    down to interview Linda about the era and events that precipitated the Kaohsiung
    incident also known as the Formosa Incident, which is widely considered the watershed
    moment in history that led to Taiwan’s democratization. The Kaohsiung Incident
    happened in December of 1979.


    If you haven’t had a chance to listen to the first part of this interview, you can go back to
    episode 287 and give it a listen. By the way, that episode of Talking Taiwan, episode
    287 got us shortlisted in the top 15 podcasts selected in the category of "Moment of
    Visionary Leadership" for the 2024 International Women's Podcast Awards. This year
    the IWPA had 700 submissions from over 33 different countries. Results were
    announced in London on Wednesday, June 19th.

    While we were not selected as the winning podcast in this category, we are deeply
    honored to have our work recognized. Any increased visibility for Talking Taiwan also
    means greater visibility for Taiwan.
    In case you didn’t know, Talking Taiwan is also on YouTube, and we did video record
    my interview with Linda, so we do plan on releasing it on our YouTube channel, but
    please be patient with us since we are only a two-person team.
    We do have some interesting content on YouTube that’s different from our podcast
    episodes, so if you haven’t already, we encourage you to look for Talking Taiwan on
    YouTube and to subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@talkingtaiwan

Amazing Podcast that Explores the Depths of Taiwan

Talking Taiwan is a podcast that delves deep into the society, the culture, the politics, the entertainment, the food, and the latest news affecting everyone with an interest in Taiwan.

Author Felicia Lin delivers the important questions that we all seek answers to about everything related to Taiwan. She always interviews a wide variety of interesting guests from best selling authors, to film makers, to politicians, to clinicians, to culinary experts and more who represent the vanguard of Taiwan.

Her current 2020 series interviewing experts on the frontlines of recent pandemics on Ebola and the COVID-19 virus as it relates to Taiwan are thought-provoking and cutting edge.

This is a highly inspiring, insightful, and educational listen for anyone - not only for native Taiwanese, expats. or Taiwanese Americans- but for anyone who has an active interest in the interesting people and events related to Taiwan. A podcast not to be missed.

Great listen!

Talking Taiwan brings together such an eclectic set of personalities with each episode being diverse and extremely informative. I had no real knowledge of Taiwan before I started listening, but even as someone who does not have family or roots from / in Taiwan I find the podcast to be incredibly interesting and love Felicia’s style of interview / conversation. Definitely an enjoyable eye opening listen!

Death Penalty

This was a terrifically detailed discussion of what Taiwan thinks of the death penalty. It's always illuminating to see what other nations feel about this. If you have an interest in Taiwan, this is the podcast for you.
