TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Thinking Taiwan, an online policy and commentary publication founded by former President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文), has relaunched its English edition to discuss Indo-Pacific issues, UP Media reported Friday.
The publication is affiliated with the Thinking Taiwan Foundation and features analysis on Taiwan, regional affairs, public policy, and democratic issues. Its English edition was first launched in 2014.
The English edition said it aims to support “rational, pragmatic, and productive discussions” among scholars, policy experts, and think tank researchers, per Liberty Times.
The relaunched edition will focus on regional security, international political economy, and China-related issues. It will also publish views on major developments in the Indo-Pacific.
The first group of contributors includes political scientist Andrew J. Nathan, who wrote about China’s political system through the idea of “fragile stability.”
Other contributors include Roy Lee (李淳), Taiwan’s former representative to the European Union and former deputy foreign minister. Lee wrote about Taiwan’s semiconductor supply chains as US-China competition grows.
Daniel Twining wrote about Taiwan’s role as a frontline democracy in Asia. Gray Sergeant wrote about security ties between the Indo-Pacific and the Euro-Atlantic region.
Athena Tong also wrote for the publication. Her work focuses on the strength of Taiwan’s undersea cable infrastructure.
The publication said it will keep working with international scholars and think tanks. It said it will promote exchanges between Taiwan and the world through original analysis and translated articles.
The relaunch follows Tsai’s Facebook post in October 2025 about bringing back the Chinese edition of Thinking Taiwan. The Chinese edition was founded under the Thinking Taiwan Foundation in 2012.
The publication has published articles from the public on public policy, current affairs, culture, and civic issues. The English edition was later added to help raise Taiwan’s international visibility.
