    Syaru Shirley Lin, Chair, Center for Asia Pacific Resilience and Innovation (CAPRI), called Taiwan’s goal of creating an international society “admirable” but pointed out, “We are not Hong Kong or Singapore. We don’t have an anglophone culture.” Instead, Taiwan’s society is more like South Korea or Japan, “so we need to compare ourselves with the same benchmark,” she said.

  • Surveying the Experts: China’s Approach to Taiwan

    September 27, 2022

    China Power

    As China’s recent unprecedented military exercises around Taiwan demonstrated, the Taiwan Strait is a major flashpoint that threatens to undermine regional and global stability. Yet crucial questions remain about the dynamics shaping the Taiwan Strait. What is China’s approach to Taiwan and how long is Beijing willing to wait for Taiwan’s unification? Will China use significant military force against Taiwan, and when? How does Beijing view the potential of U.S. intervention in a Taiwan contingency?

    Shirley Lin participated in a survey by the ChinaPower Project at Center for Strategic and International Studies which polled 64 leading experts on the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Taiwan, and cross-Strait relations. Responses were collected from August 10–September 8, 2022.

    Key takeaways from the survey are listed below.:

    • China lacks a coherent strategy for Taiwan;

    • Beijing is willing to wait for Taiwan's unification, but not forever;

    • Few expect China to use significant force against Taiwan by 2027;

    • An amphibious invasion of Taiwan is possible in the next 10 years;

    • China would invade Taiwan immediately if Taipei declared independence;

    • Beijing expects U.S. military intervention in a conflict over Taiwan.

  • FUSHK: Interview with FUSHK Leadership

    September 21, 2022

    Shirley Lin is the founder of Focused Ultrasound Hong Kong Foundation Limited (FUSHK), an organization that improves access to focused ultrasound technology in Asia. This non-invasive therapeutic technology can revolutionize the treatment of many medical disorders, with the potential to benefit millions of people.

    In the interview , Shirley Lin discussed her connection to focused ultrasound, why she became involved in FUSHK, and what she sees as its greatest potential.

    What is your connection to focused ultrasound?

    Shirley Lin: When I came to the University of Virginia, I met Neal Kassell, MD, founder of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation. I followed the Foundation’s progress and eventually joined its Council. I now serve on the Foundation’s Board, and I am a founding member of FUSHK.

    What moved you to get involved with FUSHK?

    Shirley Lin: The simple reason is that focused ultrasound is something that will help people all around the world. It’s not specific to an individual country; the work we do can impact millions of lives. It’s both conceptually, as well as empirically, very important to me to be involved in a foundation in healthcare, where you can see both visible results in the short term, as well as long term impact on society and our collective well-being.

    What excites you most about FUSHK?

    Shirley Lin: Several years ago, I put together a few programs for the Foundation team to come visit Asia. It was an incredible opportunity, because the Foundation had not done that much outreach in Asia at that point. Throughout those events and meetings, I found that there was a huge amount of interest in giving, helping, and sustaining focused ultrasound, as well as in reaching out to doctors and hospitals that are already using the technology throughout the region. Those experiences were the conception of FUSHK, through which we are raising money within Asia to support research projects in the region and also connecting researchers, clinicians, manufacturers, investors, and philanthropists.

  • Will China Fall into the Middle/High Income Trap?

    March 3, 2021

    The middle-income trap describes a situation in which a country, having attained a certain income level, gets stuck there (due to given advantages). The high-income trap is of a similar nature, because although the positioning of these economies might be more advantageous to begin with, they find it difficult to promote innovation in manufacturing or upgrade to higher value-added services to remain competitive and provide benefits to a wider spectrum of society.

    In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro and Alicia García-Herrero are joined by Syaru Shirley Lin, Compton Visiting Professor in World Politics at the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia. They discuss the middle/high-income trap in East Asia, and especially in China. Is the high-income trap different between East Asia and Western Europe, especially in terms of their economic relationship with China? How has COVID-19 changed the economic landscape?

    Although many countries have begun to reconsider how to balance what they get in return for trading with China, this question has always been existential in Taiwan. Trade policies have oscillated inconsistently between opening up and restricting access to the Chinese economy.

    But “One Country, Two Systems,” which guarantees a degree of autonomy under Chinese supervision, isn’t applicable to Taiwan. The island has evolved into a self-ruled, hyper-democracy that enjoys de facto operational independence.

    It also doesn’t share Hong Kong’s inherent Chinese lineage. Therein lies the real issue."

  • Podcast: Donald Trump and Asia

    January 11, 2017

    When Donald Trump was elected to become the 45th president of the United States in November, it sent shockwaves across the world, particularly in Asia. Throughout his campaign, Trump made pledges that, if acted upon, could fundamentally alter the U.S. position in the region and even the broader international order. Since the election, he’s gone on to make many more provocative comments — often through Twitter — that have thrown fuel on the fire of volatile issues like the “One China Policy” and North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

    In this episode of the Asia Society Podcast, we look at the geopolitical hotspots in Asia including China, North Korea, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, India, and the Philippines, and how President-elect Trump might address them. We hear from ambassadors and analysts including Evan Medeiros, Ashley Tellis, Joe Hockey, Nicholas Burns, Syaru Shirley Lin, Ahn Ho-young, and Yun Sun.

  • How China's Taiwan Strategy Is Backfiring

    December 12, 2016

    Asia Society interview

    In the new book Taiwan’s China Dilemma, Chinese University of Hong Kong Professor Syaru Shirley Lin describes how Taiwan is in a tough position: If it restricts trade with mainland China, it cuts off a major export market, a source of investment, and a driver of economic growth. But if it increases economic reliance on China, it gives more leverage to a government bent on reunification and leaves the island vulnerable. Taiwan’s evolution in dealing with this dilemma has been shaped by a rapid shift in Taiwanese identity and how its people see themselves. In an interview with Asia Blog, Lin describes how this shift unfolded and how Beijing’s reunification strategy appears to be backfiring.

    When he learned of Trump’s call with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-Wen last week, he found himself in a strange place: on Trump’s side.

    “I guess if I was a pure American liberal, without any ties to Taiwan, I would criticize him. . . . But I am Taiwanese American. We kind of have a different perspective,” said Chang, a financial advisor and the president of the Los Angeles chapter of Taiwanese American Professionals."

    ….NTU

    In an increasingly complex and competitive world, how can you identify a path that taps your talents, allows you to contribute to society and creates lasting happiness for you? Of students graduating from National Taiwan University, many will be starting their careers in academia, the private sector, the public sector or NGOs. Whether you are someone with multiple interests or a clear single focus, the question remains as to how to assess your options. How do you choose between two totally different paths – joining a medical foundation or becoming a medical practitioner? Becoming a corporate lawyer or a law professor? Choosing between two universities if you know you want to continue research as a scholar? Or perhaps you are deciding between applying for a job at an established organization, or starting your own venture, whether a technology start-up or a social enterprise. There is no easy answer to any these questions. The choice depends on where your talent lies, where you are most needed, and what makes you happy in the long term. This session will look at how students can make the best possible decisions as they leave school.
