In this episode of Beyond the Reefs, we speak with Dr. Ya-chi Chiang (江雅綺), Taiwan’s newly appointed Deputy Representative to the United Kingdom. A legal scholar with a deep passion for tech governance, Dr. Chiang shares her journey from rural Yunlin to elite UK institutions—and now, into the world of diplomacy. We discuss the growing Taiwan–UK relationship, digital resilience, and how she’s navigating political scrutiny with clarity and grace. As Taiwan’s international profile rises, Dr. Chiang offers a thoughtful, human perspective on the intersection of law, technology, and global cooperation.
