For part two of our interview Brian Hioe and I chat Taiwanese politics. In this episode Brian breaks down the roots and history behind the two main political parties in Taiwan and shares his insights on how Cross-Strait tensions affect domestic politics. We also discuss what the 2024 presidential election results could mean for China-Taiwan relations and the links between organised crime, politics, and religion in Taiwanese society.
