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.
