In the first half of the show, we discuss the overnight collapse of TransAsia Airlines. That’s just a warm up though: in the second we invite on special guest NPP Legislator Huang Kuo-chang to get his perspective on US President-elect Donald Trump’s pronouncement that the US will not join the Trans Pacific Partnership. Legislator Huang also gives his take on the future of US-Taiwan ties; PFP Chairman James Soong’s performance at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders’ summit and what it tells us about cross-Strait relations; the ongoing controversy over legalizing gay marriage, and more.
Legislator Huang is the Executive Chairman of the New Power Party, which won five seats in the Legislative Yuan in January’s election.
If you’re listening to the podcast just for the talk with Legislator Huang, you can skip ahead to the second half beginning at minute sixteen.
