准科學家。Nancy Pelosi Says She Will Seek Re-election in 2024。南西·裴Liberated and Loving It. We Want to Thank Nancy Pelosi



“I arrived at college planning to pursue a career in classical music. In my first year, the only required writing seminar that fit my schedule happened to be about environmental chemistry. I had always loved nature and cared about Earth’s climate, but this was the first time I realized there were careers focused on studying our planet and finding solutions. I was totally hooked!

“My training in music was a huge help in learning how to be a researcher. Practicing music is basically just performing experiments—trying things, making careful observations of what works and what doesn’t, and adjusting before you try again. I spent many years of my life seriously practicing instruments, and when I started doing research in a lab, those years of patient self-directed work directly translated to my geoscience research. … 

“When I was in fourth grade, we moved to a new house with a sugar maple tree in the front yard. The bark was soft and smooth, and two low-hanging branches made the perfect handholds for climbing up into the canopy. The tree was a go-to spot for reading and talking to friends. Today, one of my PhD projects is about using tree rings to understand how trees respond to changes in climate over their lives. I’m grateful to get to connect with trees in this new way. I think my younger self would be happy to know where life has taken me.”

作者:陳玉杰?  陳女士研究中台關係背景下的國際法和外交。 她在台灣出生長大。

在這裡劃清界限,需要志同道合的民主國家提供真正有意義的支持,包括與台灣簽署雙邊經濟協議、允許其加入區域貿易組織以減少台灣經濟對中國的過度依賴、支持台灣參與國際組織等 像佩洛西女士來訪的手勢。

並非所有這些姿態都是容易的,而且它們承擔著巨大的風險,通常是因為中國造成了經濟痛苦。

自由值得為之奮鬥,所有民主國家都將因與台灣站在一起而得到加強。

GUEST ESSAY

I’m Taiwanese, and I Want to Thank Nancy Pelosi



Ms. Chen researches international law and diplomacy in the context of China-Taiwan relations. She was born and raised in Taiwan.

Drawing a line in the sand here will require genuine, meaningful support from like-minded democracies, including signing bilateral economic agreements with Taiwan, allowing it to join regional trade organizations to diminish Taiwan’s economic overreliance on China, supporting Taiwan’s participation in international organizations and more gestures like Ms. Pelosi’s visit.

Not all these gestures will be easy, and they carry great risks, often because of China’s infliction of economic pain. 

Freedom is worth fighting for, and all democracies will be strengthened by standing with Taiwan.

個人經歷

Our delegation had the distinct privilege of meeting with the President of Taiwan Tsai Ing-wen today. We discussed how America & Taiwan can deepen our economic ties, further strengthen our security partnership & defend our shared democratic values.
It was also my high honor to receive from President Ing-wen of Taiwan the Order of Propitious Clouds with Special Grand Cordon: a symbol of our treasured friendship. Make no mistake: America remains unwavering in our commitment to the people of Taiwan – now & for decades to come.
