On October 14th, the UW Taiwan Studies Program welcomed Professor Ming-Sho Ho of National Taiwan University to speak about his new book, Challenging Beijing’s Mandate of Heaven: Taiwan’s Sunflower Movement and Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement. Professor Ho discussed the role of student-led decentralized protest, how the occupation of public space shaped protest results, “Be Water” protest tactics, the role of international media, and protest origins.
UW Taiwan Studies has made a video recording of the Zoom event available for the public to view.
