On Wednesday’s Access Utah we’ll talk about the situation in Russia with former NPR Moscow Bureau Chief Corey Flintoff.
According to NPR “Tens of thousands of Russians took to the streets in protest on Saturday to demand the release of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, braving the threat of mass arrests in what were some of the largest demonstrations against the Kremlin in years. From the port city of Vladivostok in the east to the capital of Moscow seven time zones away in the west, protesters swept across the country in open defiance of warnings from Russian authorities that the demonstrations have been deemed illegal.” More than 3,000 protesters have been arrested.
Taiwan Business TOPICS
Reflections on my over 50 years in Taiwan, including nearly two decades of service at AmCham.
It was 1969, the year of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing and the Woodstock Music Festival. Richard Nixon was in his first year as President of the United States, and “Watergate” referred merely to the office/apartment complex in downtown Washington DC.
As part of a Columbia University graduate program in journalism and East Asian studies, I headed that fall for Taiwan, with stops first in Japan and Hong Kong. The plan was to spend a year serving as part-time correspondent for The New York Times while continuing the Chinese-language studies I had started on campus.
