MAY 15 - 'In the Global Vanguard: Agrarian Development and the Making of Modern Taiwan' with James Lin, UW - Taiwan Studies Program
In just half a century, Taiwan transformed from an agricultural colony into an economic power, spurred by efforts of the authoritarian Republic of China government in land reform, farmers associations, and improved crop varieties. Yet overlooked is how Taiwan brought these practices to the developing world. In the Global Vanguard elucidates the history and impact

@jarosky.bsky.social and I have been following China-related executive orders by governors closely as part our work on subnational US-China relations. University employees in other states (e.g. Florida) have been discouraged from traveling to China, but I haven't seen it banned in an EO before.
Looks like Abbot is also blocking state school faculty in Texan from travel to China (In their professional capacity).
