UCSD's new Taiwan Studies Center, with the support of the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation and the 21st Century China Center, is hosting a virtual conference on April 21-22 from 5-8 PM PDT each day on "Peace and Security in the Taiwan Strait." This conference will convene experts from around the world to present their current research on U.S.-China-Taiwan relations, addressing issues such as the political status of Taiwan, cross-strait relations, PRC-Taiwan competition in Latin America and the Caribbean, strategic ambiguity, public opinion in Taiwan and the PRC, and the

The Council on East Asian Libraries recently announced it has bestowed Peter Zhou, director of UC Berkeley’s C. V. Starr East Asian Library, with its highest honor.

Taiwan is increasingly a source of conflict between the US & China, and there are some who believe that a military conflict could arise over this issue. Here to talk with co-host Tom Collina about Taiwan is James Lee, a post-doc research associate at the Institute on Global Conflict & Cooperation.

On Early Warning, co-host Michelle Dover sits down with Christine Ahn, Executive Director of Women Cross DMZ, to discuss the news that we may see a declaration of a formal end to the Korean War.

美国圣迭戈加州大学全球冲突与合作研究中心博士后研究员詹姆斯·李(James Lee)同样不认为拜登在谋求“一中一台”政策。

他在接受美国之音采访时说，“我不认为拜登政府在寻求‘一个中国，一个台湾’政策。拜登政府在做的是试图以‘一个中国’政策来适应台湾海峡日益加剧的紧张。话虽如此，我认为这个政策的界线是什么仍然存在混淆，拜登政府寻找及界定那些界线的做法制造了一个误解，以为美国现在在支持‘一个中国，一个台湾’政策。”

What is the best way to mitigate the impact of disinformation? Disinformation is difficult to detect, deter, and combat. Taiwan has been developing a coordinated response to disinformation campaigns from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) since 2018, following attempts to influence results of the 2018 mid-term elections and the suicide of Taiwan diplomat Su Chii-cherng.

Cemented by decades of positive engagement and shared history, the United States and Taiwan enjoy a very robust relationship that spans a multitude of public and foreign policy issues. Important to these efforts are the people-to-people ties between researchers, scholars, and practitioners that explore new avenues for cooperation and collaboration between both sides.

The Fellowship is intended to foster the academic careers of recent Ph.D’s and to allow the revision of the dissertation for publication, or for research on a new project. The Postdoctoral Fellow is expected to be in residence during the entire term. They will give a public lecture on their research as part of the Center for Chinese Studies Colloquium Series, and they are expected to take part in all regular Center for Chinese Studies events and workshops.
