‘Exploring Taiwan’: Stephanie Lum traces Hawaii and Taiwan’s shared history
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – This week Stephanie Lum kicks off an exciting Hawaii News Now series “Exploring Taiwan”.
Lum traveled to Taipei as part of an East-West Center and Ming Chuan University journalism fellowship.
In her week-long series, she traces Hawaii and Taiwan’s shared history that dates back thousands of years.
Lum takes us to the village of one of 16 recognized indigenous tribes in the district of Pingtung where Kamehameha Schools students strengthened friendships.
In the city of Taipei, Lum talked with residents and officials about the constant threats from China and shows us Taiwan’s so-called “Silicon Valley” for insight into the island’s dominant microchip industry, incredible ability to withstand catastrophic earthquakes, and ambitious path to renewable energy.
Join us this week for “Exploring Taiwan” with Stephanie Lum on Hawaii News Now at 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. on KHNL and KGMB.
