Taiwan can serve as a valuable platform for those pursuing China Studies and Asian Studies, as well international relations and global affairs more broadly. Tapping into Taiwan’s expertise can provide insights on the Sinosphere, cross-Strait relations, and regional issues in Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific.
