Cultures are fluid & ever-evolving, formed thru dialogues w/ other cultures. As one of the only Austronesian peoples in the East-Asian region, Indigenous Taiwanese have adopted aspects of Sinophone & Japanese cultures, & taken ownership of them. Here are some of the examples: 1/

Certainly the most special talk I’ve hosted. With @OpendataCH, we invited Taiwan’s former Digital Minister Audrey Tang to Zurich to share the @pluralitybook & the TW experience. Loads of great insights, engagement, & learning. Truly brings hope to our democratic future.🇨🇭🇹🇼 🖖🏽

The #Indigenous Taiwanese team at #FestPAC Hawai’i this week showcases the real #Austronesian connection across the Pacific & what it's like for Taiwan to truly represent itself on an int'l stage. No exclusion—just recognition & free expression of identity. Taiwan is just Taiwan.

The Taiwanese students made sure that wherever KMT Vice President of the Parliament, Johnny Chiang, went during his trip in Geneva, he would be photographed with either a '#Taiwan Independence' flag or a 'Withdraw the KMT Bill' sign. Thank you for your support, Johnny!

We want to make it loud and clear to the @UN and the world- Taiwan is not a province of China. Taiwan belongs to the Taiwanese people.

We, the Taiwanese students in Europe, are here in Geneva to walk among the @WHO crowd in the #HealthForAll challenge. We want to show the world that Taiwan, too, deserve to be a part of this international community. #IncludeTaiwan #TaiwanCanHelp #IWalkWithTaiwan

“Taiwan” is nowhere to be found in 1971’s #UNGA Res. 2758, nor is #Taiwan🇹🇼 a province of #China. The @UN misinterprets it, we don’t & the world shouldn’t. We must stop #Beijing from exploiting this as carte blanche to claim any territory it desires.

Breaking: The @UN Secretary-General spokesperson just incorrectly claimed that the 1971 resolution concerns "the UN's standing on #Taiwan as a province of China." This error is extremely dangerous now, as China might view it, as the journalist did, as UN approval to take over TW.

The @UN spokesperson just incorrectly claimed that the 1971 resolution concerns "the UN's stance on #Taiwan as a province of China." This is reckless in today's situation, where distorted narratives form the basis of China's justification for an invasion. @UN, stop fuelling war.

Taiwan Youth Initiatives in Europe 歐洲臺灣青年協會@taiwankiddos

@UN This incorrect @UN claim, now seen as a victory by China, is spreading like wildfire across the Chinese internet. China is emboldened by the UN adopting their interpretation repeatedly. The @UN is unnecessarily encouraging war in the region. Please stop & think about the TW ppl.

@siverianka Found this figure of the Taiwanese Indigenous national flag Turivuan Danav designed in the 1950s, at the height of the White Terror. This perhaps represent the earliest attempt of Indigenous Nationalism in Taiwan. Source: Martin John Williams (2005)

@joshiunn Do you have a picture of the green flag? Is it today's DPP flag?

Taiwan's White Terror, an #Indigenous account, described in Paiwan chief Turivuan Danav's own words in his 1999 statement in court: "For half a century, I have lived in agony, unable to find peace in death or life, suffering in a state of perpetual despair w/o a moment's peace."

"I have always believed that the 1945 liberation of Taiwan was actually a misfortune for the Taiwanese people. My political ideology is to establish Taiwan as a new and independent democratic republic, to promote democracy, abolish the National Assembly, amend the constitution."
