Good afternoon. Thank you, Minister Tang. We are very honored to be here at the Executive Yuan to have this conversation with you. It’s a highlight of our 10-day visit to Taiwan and Hong Kong.
The theme of the 2018-2019 Luce Scholars wrap-up really is about democracy and the challenges that both Taiwan and Hong Kong facing in trying to build a more democratic system.
Democracy is not just about “one person, one vote.” Governance and how government function matters enormously how the democratic system can succeed.
We are very honored that you take the time to meet with us. We hope this is a very substantive, wide-ranging conversation. I give the floor to you.
