For the first time in the past three years, Taiwan’s democracy was discussed
The chairman of Taiwan Corner and the host of this roundtable discussion, Michael Danielsen, stated that the motivation of this conference was the result of the 2016 presidential election. Plus, social movements in the past few years, such as the Sunflower Movement and the Anti-Black Box Curriculum Movement, drew European officials’ attention on events happening in Taiwan internally.
People who were invited to the roundtable conference included, Lin Fei-fan, representing The Black Island Nation Youth Front, Dr. Alice Ekman, researcher from French Institute of International Relations, and one representative from the KMT. [FULL STORY]
