Ying-che Li and Yu-chong Lin on a Sense of Identity for Taiwan from Jay Fidell on Vimeo.

Dr. Ying-Che Li, Professor of Chinese at UH Manoa, and Dr. Yu-Chong Lin, President of the Hawaii Chapter of the Formosan Association for Public Affairs (FAPA), join Bill Sharp in the studio to discuss their Taiwanese sense of identity.  The interview starts with their stories of growing up in the 50's and 60's under martial law and the events of 228 (February 28, 1947).  They discuss the important events and leading political figures which resulted in Taiwan enjoying tremendous freedom now, as well as more recent items such as the Chen Shui-bian trial and opinions on the military and legislative process.  They explain the reasons for stronger ties with mainland China and the reasons Taiwanese have for wanting to keep the status quo.  Finally, they share their reactions to the recent movie, Formosa Betrayed.
