Based in Taiwan, we write about culture, politics, religion, & daily life. We're locally rooted and draw on our expertise in history, law, and advocacy. We've been recognized as one of the leading English-language publications covering Taiwan.
Some of the best newsletters don’t fall into any clear category. This one is written by two academics, a husband and wife couple, based in Taiwan, and is nominally “about” history, politics, justice, and law but really is a great curation of human-centric stuff.
