In this episode of Strait Talk with Xiangyu, I sit down with Wang Ping-chung (王炳忠 Wang Bingzhong), one of Taiwan's most outspoken voices for Chinese identity and cross-strait reunification. Together, we break down U.S. foreign policy toward Taiwan under Trump and Biden, shifting public opinion on Washington's role, the opportunism of the DPP, and Wang's personal journey as a defender of Chinese identity in Taiwan.
We also discuss in detail how separatist forces in Taiwan systematically altered the education system to breed identity confusion, deliberately undermining Chinese consciousness to make reunification more difficult — even while knowing that "independence" is impossible. This erosion of Chinese identity, as we examine, serves the interests of U.S. hegemony at the direct expense of the people on Taiwan, who are left more divided, more vulnerable, and less able to pursue real long-term prosperity.
Topics discussed include:
- U.S. shifting attitudes toward Taiwan under Trump and Biden
- Why Taiwan is treated more like Ukraine than Israel
- Growing skepticism of the U.S. among the people of Taiwn (疑美論)
- The DPP's propaganda, opportunism, and power motives
- How the de-Sinicization curriculum reshaped identity in Taiwan
- Wang Bingzhong's personal political development and fight for Chinese identity
If you want to understand Taiwan's politics beyond Western headlines, and how identity itself has been weaponized, this is an STXY episode you won't want to miss.
