Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Taiwan

In John Oliver’s latest episode this past Sunday, John Oliver gives a good yet entertaining overview on Taiwan – from its history to its relationship with China and the rest of the world, including the United States. It’s an important topic given that Taiwan is a source of someĀ  what is emerging as part of Asian American culture and the currently stressed global supply chain.

If you don’t know much about the political history of Taiwan, this is a good backgrounder. I was highly entertained that Oliver also mentioned how Taiwanese legislators periodically get into physical altercations with each other.

About John

I'm a Taiwanese-American and was born & raised in Western Massachusetts, went to college in upstate New York, worked in Connecticut, went to grad school in North Carolina and then moved out to the Bay Area in 1999 and have been living here ever since - love the weather and almost everything about the area (except the high cost of housing...)
