In Taiwan, 1945 marks the end of the Japanese colonisation. For many Taiwanese intellectuals and writers, it also means the abandonment of the Japanese language for Mandarin. But a language cannot be erased as quickly as architecture or other material goods. The language of childhood – the language of education – stubbornly persists. After this initial silent period, in the 1970’s – thanks to the Nativist movement – there has been a revaluation of pre-war Taiwanese writers gathered under the appellation of “a translingual generation” as they emerged from the shadows.

Despite the recent 228 Incident commemoration, along with the latest exonerations of White Terror political victims, the lack of retributive justice from criminal trials or other perpetrator-focused measures remains the case in Taiwan. In fact, the legality of the only perpetrator-focused act related to the KMT’s party assets has been continually contested by the party, despite the ruling of the Council of Grand Justices that upheld the constitutionality of the act’s provisions. A similar lack of retributive justice occurred in another country with a recent authoritarian past, Slovakia" 2021/04/26,Taiwan Insight,Xi Jinping’s 2.0 version of the “Letter to Compatriots in Taiwan”,Written by Simona A,https://taiwaninsight.org/2021/04/26/xi-jinpings-2-0-version-of-the-letter-to-compatriots-in-taiwan/,"Written by Simona A. Grano & Helena Y.W. Wu. On January 2, 2019, Xi Jinping held a speech to commemorate the famous “Letter to Compatriots in Taiwan” of 1979. In this letter, he defined unification across the Taiwan Strait as “the great trend of history.” He also warned that attempts to facilitate Taiwan’s independence would be met by force. Not only this, but he also called for “unification under the ‘one country, two systems’ formula.” " 2021/04/24,Taiwan Insight,"Migrants’ Voice in Taiwanese Documentaries: Narrative, Language and Space",Adina Zemanek and Lara Momesso,https://taiwaninsight.org/2021/04/24/migrants-voice-in-taiwanese-documentaries-narrative-language-and-space/,"Written by Adina Zemanek and Lara Momesso. Since the early 2000s, immigrants from mainland China and Southeast Asia have been an increasingly visible component of Taiwan’s social and public landscape. As such, they have received growing recognition both in terms of legal provisions and in the public discourse. An example of this acknowledgement is the December 2019 issue of Taiwan Panorama, a promotional magazine issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Half of this issue is dedicated to highlighting migrants’ presence in Taiwan. One of the articles calls for listening to their unique life stories, which would have the transformative effect of understanding the world from a new perspective and dismantling preconceptions about Southeast Asian cultures." 2021/04/23,Taiwan Insight,Explaining Cross-Strait Relations with Theories of European Integration,Frédéric Krumbein,https://taiwaninsight.org/2021/04/23/explaining-cross-strait-relations-with-theories-of-european-integration/,"Written by Frédéric Krumbein. The European Union has the densest integration region globally, whereas current trends in cross-strait relations point to a further divide between both sides. Despite noticeable significant differences between the European Union and cross-strait relations, theories of European integration provide a useful framework to analyse the past, present, and future of relations between Taiwan and the Chinese mainland. Four major theories of regional integration that were developed for or applied to the European integration process will be used to analyse cross-strait relations: neofunctionalism, historical institutionalism, liberal intergovernmentalism, and postfunctionalism." 2021/04/22,Taiwan Insight,‘Bringing Back Transnational Relations’: Non-State Actors in Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy,Ratih Kabinawa,https://taiwaninsight.org/2021/04/22/bringing-back-transnational-relations-non-state-actors-in-taiwans-new-southbound-policy/,"Written by Ratih Kabinawa. Drawing from Risse-Kappen’s seminal book and his framework of domestic and international structures, this article explains Taiwan’s long-standing engagement with non-state actors in promoting its foreign policy objectives in Southeast Asia via a case study of the New Southbound Policy (NSP). After enjoying some success in maintaining semi-official contacts with Southeast Asian countries during the cross-Strait relation détente, the election of Tsai Ing-wen compelled Taiwan to bring transnational relations back into its foreign policy. In 2016, Taiwan’s newly elected president, Tsai Ing-wen, introduced a foreign policy flagship that stressed the essential role of people-to-people diplomacy in promoting Taiwan’s foreign policy objectives in Southeast Asia." 2021/04/21,Taiwan Insight,Energy Transition in-the-Making: How Offshore Wind Energy Interacts with Local Society in Taiwan,Tsaiying Lu,https://taiwaninsight.org/2021/04/21/energy-transition-in-the-making-how-offshore-wind-energy-interacts-with-local-society-in-taiwan/,"Written by Tsaiying Lu. “Go Nuclear to go green.” Under this catchphrase, during Taiwan’s 2018 referendum, pro-nuclear activists have successfully framed green energy as “unstable” and “unmatured” electricity-generating technology. They proposed to abolish Section 1 of Article 95 of the Electricity Act, which states terminating all nuclear power plants by 2025, was passed with a 40.27% approval. The result is a significant setback not only to President Tsai Ing-Wen’s (2016-2024) energy policy, “Nuclear-Free Homeland by 2025,” but also to offshore wind energy’s (OWE) development." 2021/04/25,中国:历史与未来,从整体主义到个体主义——社会契约论的虚构与重构,张千帆,https://www.chinese-future.org/articles/2ewrabhw5s2x9ahlm6mkekdw3m2k7m, 2021/04/23,中国现代国际关系研究院,绿色技术发展加快全球迈向碳中和的步伐,唐新华,http://www.cicir.ac.cn/NEW/opinion.html?id=3c6097fa-1b5d-483c-8c36-de6f492ea0cc, 2021/04/23,中国现代国际关系研究院,病毒溯源调查,美国须与中国看齐,姚琨,http://www.cicir.ac.cn/NEW/opinion.html?id=a4b5c191-c3dc-44c7-a1ae-e6c1f4526ae9, 2021/04/23,中国现代国际关系研究院,治理社交网络乱象,应寻求全球共识,谭笑间,http://www.cicir.ac.cn/NEW/opinion.html?id=23773653-20ab-420b-976d-ce351325c142, 2021/04/22,中国现代国际关系研究院,疫情下中澳关系的发展及前景,郭春梅,http://www.cicir.ac.cn/NEW/opinion.html?id=a6e0cc13-11ea-44db-ba8e-c546d416db68, 2021/04/22,中国现代国际关系研究院,拜登政府经济强刺激背后,隐藏着哪些风险?,孙立鹏,http://www.cicir.ac.cn/NEW/opinion.html?id=d2ee44e1-83a5-4204-841b-07cc0019ab55, 2021/04/21,中国现代国际关系研究院,全球绿色金融迎来快速发展期,董一凡,http://www.cicir.ac.cn/NEW/opinion.html?id=beccdae1-c49e-42bc-8f6f-ace606b2639e, 2021/04/21,中国现代国际关系研究院,乌东局势为何再度剑拔弩张?,叶天乐,http://www.cicir.ac.cn/NEW/opinion.html?id=53262059-d515-43bd-a502-ef0cbcbaefa8, 2021/04/28,中央党史和文献研究院,牢固树立正确党史观 学习宣传研究好党的历史,王志民,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/0428/c427167-32090330.html, 2021/04/26,中央党史和文献研究院,从领袖年谱中感悟真理力量和人格力量,曲青山,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/0426/c427167-32087884.html, 2021/04/26,中央党史和文献研究院,既讲历史“本然”,又讲历史“所以然”,欧阳淞,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/0426/c427167-32087971.html, 2021/04/23,中央党史和文献研究院,树立正确党史观应当把握的重要原则,王均伟,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/0423/c219000-32086056.html, 2021/04/28,中央党史和文献研究院,深刻领悟党的创新理论最新成果的理论品格(深入学习贯彻习近平新时代中国特色社会主…,李 捷,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/0428/c423712-32090158.html, 2021/04/27,中央党史和文献研究院,以大历史观把握历史发展规律和大势(深入学习贯彻习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想),中国历史研究院,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/0427/c427152-32089079.html, 2021/04/26,中央党史和文献研究院,系统观念是具有基础性的思想和工作方法,王香平,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/0426/c427152-32088551.html, 2021/04/26,中央党史和文献研究院,警惕党史领域历史虚无主义的危害,王均伟,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/0426/c428053-32088325.html, 2021/04/23,中央党史和文献研究院,坚持唯物史观 坚定不移反对历史虚无主义,吴德刚,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/0423/c428053-32086024.html, 2021/04/22,中央党史和文献研究院,"中国共产党最有理由自信 党的百年光辉历程和历史贡献",陈坚,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/0422/c428053-32084815.html, 2021/04/28,习近平系列重要讲话数据库,习近平向印尼总统佐科致慰问电,习近平,http://jhsjk.people.cn/article/32090264, 2021/04/28,习近平系列重要讲话数据库,习近平向伊拉克总统巴尔哈姆致慰问电,习近平,http://jhsjk.people.cn/article/32090265, 2021/04/28,习近平系列重要讲话数据库,解放思想深化改革凝心聚力担当实干 建设新时代中国特色社会主义壮美广西,习近平,http://jhsjk.people.cn/article/32090266, 2021/04/25,习近平系列重要讲话数据库,习近平出席海军三型主战舰艇集中交接入列活动,习近平,http://jhsjk.people.cn/article/32086936, 2021/04/22,习近平系列重要讲话数据库,习近平出席领导人气候峰会,习近平,http://jhsjk.people.cn/article/32085291, 2021/04/22,习近平系列重要讲话数据库,赴清华考察 “学长”习近平这样诠释心中的“大学之道”,习近平,http://jhsjk.people.cn/article/32084471,
