Abstract

Taiwan's major social movements in the past decade were reacting against the possibility of Taiwan's democratic freedoms being lost to China or its domestic proxies. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), currently led by Tsai Ing-wen, have challenged the Kuomintang for power, but have not been able to move beyond the binary of for or against independence. The Sunflower movement and 'Third Force' parties sought to create a space for left and democratic politics, but this appears to be closing down. The Trumpian figure of Han Kuo-yu has been a major problem for the left. There is no easy way out of these dilemmas in an era characterised by increasing US-China tensions.
夹在两个超级大国之间:台湾左派在美中关系紧张的时代
过去10年,台湾主要的社会运动都是在反对台湾的民主自由可能被中国大陆或其国内代理人夺走。太阳花运动和“第三力量”政党试图为左翼和民主政治创造一个空间,但这似乎正在关闭。特朗普式的韩国瑜一直是左翼的一个主要问题。在一个美中关系日益紧张的时代,要摆脱这些困境并不容易。
