Silicon Shield and Green Energy: Taiwan's Economic Ascent by Tsai Ing-wen | Taiwan in Transition

Under President Tsai Ing-wen's leadership, Taiwan has become a significant player in the global economy. However, in the mid-2010s, the nation faced notable economic challenges, including sluggish growth and an over-reliance on China. Since her election in 2016, President Tsai has pursued a strategic agenda to diversify Taiwan's trading partners and strengthen the semiconductor industry, which had been carefully cultivated over decades. Her administration has also prioritized renewable energy, navigating challenges such as blackouts and public concerns about reducing reliance on nuclear power. Against the backdrop of the US-China trade war, Taiwan has emerged as a crucial partner for democratic nations seeking to secure their supply chains. This episode explores Taiwan's economic revitalization and its rise to global prominence, featuring expert insights and exclusive interviews.
