In this edition of Taiwan This Week, we dedicate the entire program to discussing the inauguration of President Tsai Ing-wen. During our talk we take a hard look at what made it into her inauguration address, and what was left out with special attention given to what she had to say about the economy, transitional justice, and cross-Strait relations. We also discuss how US-Taiwan ties are likely to shape up under the Tsai administration, and potential fissures in the pan-green coalition that could sap support for the incoming president.
