										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the end of 2024 I sat down with Dr. Meng Chiang, the Executive Director of the 2024 Taiwanese American Conference- East Coast. We had a really wonderful heart-centered conversation about the conference theme Collective Memory and that led to collective trauma as it relates to the Taiwanese and Taiwanese American communities. We talked about the 4 types of trauma responses, the 4 Fs- flight, fight, freeze and fawn and post-traumatic growth.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode is dedicated to the memory of Sharon Huang, who passed away in December of 2025. She was a dear friend, mother, wife, sister, auntie, a community organizer and a cornerstone of the Taiwanese American community, especially in New York where she resided. Most notably she and her husband Patrick Huang ran the Brooklyn Artists Studio (BAS) and have supported the Taiwanese American Arts Council (TAAC) and Talking Taiwan. Together they have advocated for Taiwan democracy, human rights, and culture. The loss of Sharon is felt by so many who knew and loved her, she leaves behind family in the U.S. and Taiwan.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mengchun &#8220;Meng&#8221; Chiang, PhD (she/her/hers), is a member of the Taiwanese American community. She has served in various community leadership roles, most recently as Executive Director of the Taiwanese American Conference East Coast (TACEC) in 2024.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Professionally, Meng is the founder of CHI Executive Consulting, LLC, where she provides leadership coaching and consulting services, specializing in workplace inclusion and organizational wellness. She is passionate about empowering leaders from diverse backgrounds, helping them enhance their communication, negotiation, and inclusive leadership skills. Meng regularly facilitates workshops to help leaders integrate their identities into effective leadership practices that drive business success and personal growth.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meng is a licensed clinical psychologist with affiliations to Harvard Medical School, Carnegie Mellon University, the Tepper School of Business, and National Taiwan University. Her experience spans education, training, and leadership roles. She pioneered the Leadership and Connection for Asian Women+ Leaders program and served as Assistant Director of Training at Carnegie Mellon University.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In her free time, Meng enjoys traveling, practicing loving-kindness meditation, listening to music, taking walks, and grocery shopping.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">It’s time to reveal the Top 5 episodes of Talking Taiwan in 2025. What’s notable about these 5 episodes is that they are among the most popular Talking Taiwan episodes of all time.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">But before revealing the Top 5 episodes of 2025, let’s take look back on 2025, which was a busy year for Talking Taiwan! We hosted the inaugural Talking Taiwan Fundraising Gala at the elegant Eichholtz showroom in New York City in April. It was truly a magical memorable night. In April we were also invited to speak at the North American Taiwanese American Women Association’s (NATWA) Annual Conference.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">For sometime we’ve been watching what was happening with the Great Recall in Taiwan which ultimately led to 24 legislators being put up for a recall vote on July 26th and another seven on August 23. The world had not seen anything like this happen on a national level in a democracy! And after Felicia interviewed a group of highly dedicated recall campaigners, she learned firsthand about the grassroots mobilization efforts that resulted in over one million signatures being collected in support of the recall vote, and she felt this was a historic moment that Talking Taiwan should be in Taiwan to cover. Thanks to an anonymous donor who offered to pay for our flights back to Taiwan and others who made generous donations we were able to travel back to Taiwan for a week to cover the first recall in vote on July 26<sup>th</sup>. We left shortly after returning from the Taiwanese American Conference- West Coast (TAC-WC) which was held in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was the first time we were invited to speak at TAC-WC about our work. While we were at the conference, we also set up an on-location podcasting studio where we interviewed several of the conference’s speakers. We look forward to releasing those episodes very soon in the New Year.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s been an extremely eventful year for Talking Taiwan with many ups and downs. Spending only a week in Taiwan to cover the Recall Vote in July, and trying to conduct interviews, and edit and produce them in that time period proved to be a bit unrealistic and we’ll need to pace ourselves better in the future.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It was also crushing to witness the results of the Recall Vote on July 26th with none of the 24 legislators successfully recalled from office. While still recovering from that ordeal in July, we traveled to T.O. Webfest awards in September where Talking Taiwan was nominated in the Best Ensemble Cast category. While we didn’t win, it was our second nomination after being shortlisted at the International Women’s Podcast Awards in 2024 and winning a Golden Crane Award in 2021.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As we go into the 13<sup>th</sup> year of Talking Taiwan, I’d like take a moment to especially thank everyone who has supported Talking Taiwan over the years and made a contribution to help fund our trip to return to Taiwan to cover the Great Recall in July.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We also want to thank each and every one of all of our amazing guests for being a part of the Talking Taiwan podcast.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Special thanks to our listeners. We remain committed more than ever to producing content that matters to people who care about Taiwan.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">For links to the top 5 episodes of 2025 visit our website TalkingTaiwan.com. Wishing everyone a Happy Healthy New Year 2026! I’m your host Felicia Lin.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Yang Szu Pang (楊斯棓) is an author and speaker. He has donated 100% of his books royalties to causes and organizations that he cares about. He has been invited to speak at several Taiwanese American conferences and communities across the country.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In July of 2024 he sat down to speak with at the Taiwanese American Conference East Coast which was held at Westchester University. We talked about a broad range of topics from how to be financially prepared to care of aging, ailing parents to his most recent book, <strong>It Only Takes One</strong>, where the title of the books comes from and how it’s related to Hsiao Bi-khim, the current the Vice President of Taiwan.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Special thanks for translation assistance provided by Dr. Lee-Yuan Liu.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This episode is sponsored in part by the Taiwanese American Council of Greater New York.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This past July we took Talking Taiwan on the road to the 53<sup>rd</sup> annual Taiwanese American Conference, East Coast that was held at Westchester University. And we set up an on-location podcast studio there. Dr. Tsai was one of the speakers at TAC, so nearly a year after his return, we sat down with him to hear how his medical mission went.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This episode is sponsored in part by the Taiwanese American Council of Greater New York.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since 1992, the Taiwanese American Council of Greater New York has promoted UN membership for Taiwan and organized the UN for Taiwan rally and march to coincide with the UN General Assembly. This year the UN for Taiwan rally and march was held on Saturday, September 14</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In September the UN General Assembly takes place at the United Nations headquarters in New York City. This year, the 79th session of the UN General Assembly opened on Tuesday, September 10</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and will conclude on Monday, September 30th. The theme of the General Debate is &#8220;Leaving no one behind: acting together for the advancement of peace, sustainable development and human dignity for present and future generations.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Delegates from the Taiwan United Nations Alliance or TAIUNA, an NGO from Taiwan have been coming to New York for the past twenty years to call for Taiwan’s membership in the UN.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Friday, September 13</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> representatives from TAIUNA held a press conference in Ralph Bunche Park, which is across from the United Nations Headquarters. The open letter from TAIUNA Chairman Yet-Min Lin addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was read. The full letter will be posted in the Related Links section of the Talking Taiwan website for this episode. The letter urged the UN to hold a formal hearing to clarify the interpretation of UNGA Resolution 2758.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">China’s distortion of Resolution 2758 has been used to block Taiwan from being included in the UN.</span></p>
<p><strong>TAIUNA (The Taiwan United Nations Alliance) was founded on October 24, 2003:</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">To realize UN’s purposes and to foster justice, peace and security for Taiwan and the world.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">To promote Taiwanese understanding of and education on the UN and its related organizations.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">To elevate the global perspectives of the Taiwanese people and to participate in such international activities as human rights protection, humanitarian assistance, and environmental protection.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">To campaign for Taiwan’s membership in the UN and to make Taiwan a Normal State both in name and in fact in the world community.</span></li>
</ol>
<p>Talking Taiwan covered TAIUNA’s press conference in Ralph Bunche Park  on Friday, September 13th. On Saturday, September 14th we stopped by the “Peace Pop-up Truck” organized by the Taipei Economic  Cultural Office of New York (TECONY)  with the theme being “UNity through Peace: Chip in with Taiwan.” Afterward we also participated in the UN for Taiwan rally and march.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode I’m bringing back one of our previous guests onto this podcast, T.H. Schee, who I interviewed about civil defense in Taiwan. In that interview T.H. mentioned that it was his firsthand experience with the 921 earthquake that made him concerned about disaster preparedness and civil defense. I asked T.H. to share his recollection of the 921 earthquake and thoughts on how Taiwan’s disaster response has improved since then. By most reports the death toll from the Hualien earthquake was around 13 at the time of this interview.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here we are again… at the end of another year and we’re getting ready to reveal the top 5 Talking Taiwan episodes of 2023!</p>
<p>We want to take a moment to especially thank all those who have supported and donated to the Talking Taiwan Election Tour. So far we have raised 40% of our overall fundraising goal of $25,000. Because of your support we will be heading to Taiwan in January to cover the presidential election and also producing additional episodes in Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung.</p>
<p>We’re also grateful to all of our amazing guests and want to thank each and every one for being a part of the Talking Taiwan podcast.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for the first new episode of the New Year featuring political commentator Courtney Donovan Smith sharing his analysis of Taiwan’s presidential debate.</p>
<p>Soon Talking Taiwan will be taking the show on the road to Taiwan for the Talking Taiwan Election Tour. We’ll be covering Taiwan’s 2024 presidential election with pre-election coverage and a post-election discussion. Plus, we’ll be traveling to Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung and producing additional episodes related to these 3 major cities.</p>
<p><strong>Wishing you a wonderful rest of 2023 and a Happy New Year!</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Taiwanese American Arts Council (TAAC)</strong> and the <strong>Yale CHATogether Group</strong> have collaborated on the <strong>NYC Art Bridge</strong> program. Several of the artists in residence at the Taiwanese American Arts Council’s house on Governors Island, Building 7B, which has affectionately come to be called the Taiwan house, have participated in the NYC Art Bridge program and created artwork for it.
