In the first half of the show, host Keith Menconi is joined by Ross Feingold of DC International Advisory to take on some of the biggest headlines from the last seven days including the impact of the “Panama Papers” on Taiwan, the recent indictments related to the Weiguan Jinlong Building collapse, the first round of cabinet appointments, and more.

Then in the second half we call up Tim Culpan of Bloomberg Gadfly for an in depth discussion of the Hon Hai-Sharp deal and what it will mean for Taiwan. While we’re at it, we round things out with a look at the prospects of tech startups in Taiwan to become the next engine of economic growth.
