Taiwan's Youth Movement

and Politics since the 2014 Sunflower Movement

,

Lecture

---

In this lecture, I will survey the causes and the outcomes of Taiwan’s 2014 Sunflower Movement, which involved a student-led occupation of the national legislature. After that incident, Taiwan’s youth activism proliferated and helped the independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party to capture the national power in 2016. After the power turnover, youth protests still continued, particularly on the issues of same-sex marriage and labor rights. In particular, young voters’ fear of being annexed by People’s Republic of China, which was intensified by Hong Kong’s anti-extradition protest in 2019, helped consolidate the landslide reelection victory for the Democratic Progressive Party in 2020.
