Summary
Taiwan opposition leader Cheng Li-wun (鄭麗文) recently visited the United States following her high-profile meeting with Xi Jinping in Beijing. During a public discussion at the Asia Society in New York, she faced tough questions about Taiwan's future, cross-strait relations, the 1992 Consensus, and whether engagement with Beijing can coexist with Taiwan's democracy and autonomy. In this episode of Perspectives with Neilo, we examine key moments from Cheng Li-wun's US visit, including her exchanges with Asia Society fellows Danny Russel and Orville Schell, her views on Taiwan-China relations, and the reaction from Washington policymakers. We also explore: • Cheng Li-wun's meeting with Xi Jinping • The future of the 1992 Consensus • Taiwan public opinion on cross-strait dialogue • US concerns about Taiwan's security and defence policy • The legacy of Hong Kong and "One Country, Two Systems" • Whether dialogue with Beijing reduces or increases risks for Taiwan ./ Copyright Disclaimer: This episode features short audio excerpts from Cheng Li-wun's June 8 discussion at the Asia Society in New York, originally published by the Asia Society.
