◼︎ Analyzing US Politics Through the Eyes of Taiwanese
Welcome to the second English episode of g0v Underground podcast, this week we have US Taiwan Watch, an online media aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of US-Taiwan relations, to join in our discussions!
Founded in 2017 by a group of passionate Taiwanese-American citizens, US Taiwan Watch originally started as a g0v project which focused on building a database of Taiwan-related US Congressional bills. Over the years, it has promoted the understanding of Taiwan-U.S. relations and the US-China-Taiwan relationship to a greater audience in Taiwan. More Taiwanese were able to understand the conversations about Taiwan in the circle of US Congress and US-Taiwan related political scenes, and furthermore, to understand the intricacies of international relations, and even participate in the US policy decision-making process.
In this episode, we are very happy to have co-founder Jerry and editor Jasmine, to share their behind the scene stories as an online political media and their observations of the changes they've seen in US-Taiwan relations these years.
◼︎ 從台灣觀點出發,分析美國政治與台美關係!
g0v 零時電台第八集登場的是 g0v 社群當中的「外交小尖兵」— 「美國台灣國會觀測站 US TAIWAN WATCH」!
過去台灣社會對於美國政治的了解,多半來自由台灣媒體報導的台美關係變化,而這些報導的面向大多關注於美國官方政府機構的立場或聲明,很多時候可能因為語言隔閡、資訊不對等的問題,而產生誤解與謠言。
面對一般社會大眾普遍缺乏取得美國政治即時訊息管道的問題,「美國台灣觀測站 US Taiwan Watch」在 2017 年由一群關心台美關係的留學生與台美人(Taiwanese Americans)成立,從最早關注美國國會的台灣動態,期待讓更多台灣人關注美國國會與外交圈的法案運作過程。隨著讀著越來越多,台美關係的這幾年更近一步運用影音、podcast 等多媒體,從台灣觀點出發分析美國政治,促進台灣人了解台美雙邊,以及美中台三角關係。
本集很開心邀請到創辦人 Jerry 和核心成員 Jasmine ,與主持人 Sam 一起對談,聊聊從 US Taiwan Watch 成立之初,他們 2017 年在「g0v 公民科技獎助金」提案中獲獎後,是如何一步步走到今天的樣貌,以及他們對於近期台美關係變化的觀察,分享這些隱藏在編輯台的幕後運作。
🎧 對 g0v 社群感到好奇,卻好像不得其門而入的朋友們,歡迎大家從收聽 podcast 開始,聽見「沒有人」的聲音,加入 g0v 的聲音社群吧!
