Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

‘The Membranes’: Chi Ta-wei on His Taiwanese Queer Sci-Fi Classic 30 Years On | CONNECTED Podcast
Q: Several lines of the conversation touch on settler colonialism and the ocean setting. How did these ideas shape your approach, and would you frame them differently in a potential sequel?
I regard settler colonialism as a crucial lens for rethinking the Membranes' world, especially in terms of resource control and systemic power; in a sequel I would expand on these themes to explore ethical confrontations and the ongoing impact on marginalized communities.
‘The Membranes’: Chi Ta-wei on His Taiwanese Queer Sci-Fi Classic 30 Years On | CONNECTED Podcast
Q: Can you help our audience understand the core themes of The Membranes and how gender and technology intersect in the narrative?
The Membranes explores how bodies and identities shift under technological influence, with Momo and other characters navigating gender, intimacy, and the ethics of data—while also examining broader questions about power and visibility in a world where the private lives of people are increasingly public.
2026 Market Forecast: AI Boom, China Slowdown and Taiwan Stocks
Q: Which sectors should investors focus on for the long term?
AI-related technologies and the broader tech ecosystem, especially semiconductors like Taiwan's, offer long-term growth; diversify across a wide basket rather than chasing a single tech winner to mitigate risk.
2026 Market Forecast: AI Boom, China Slowdown and Taiwan Stocks
Q: What's your outlook on the markets in 2026?
The US leads globally, and Taiwan tends to follow; macro factors like interest rates, employment, and inflation will drive the trajectory, while AI and geopolitics will shape sector performance and investment strategies.
What’s Really Going On with Taiwan’s Black Market Rentals? | CONNECTED Podcast
Q: What made you pivot away from subleasing to a more management-focused model?
Forced to raise rents in the secondary-landlord role, the host explains that high rents reduce occupancy and margins, so switching toward management helps stabilize pricing and sustain the business.
