I'm going to be in Taipei Sun night giving a speech at 6:30 pm at Red Room Rendezvous 紅房餐酒館. It's a free event (but expected to order something from the restaurant), and there will be plenty of opportunity for Q&A. If you're in Taipei, you're welcome to join! (Link below):
How will Saturday’s local elections affect #Taiwan? Insider speaks with Political Columnist @donovan_smith about the #China factor and how these elections may affect upcoming presidential elections.

Whatever the result, join us at The Red Room Rendezvous 6:30p.m. Sunday to talk all about it!
