Thursday, April 3, 2025 | 12:30 – 2:00 PM (ET)
Furman Hall Room 326 and Zoom (245 Sullivan St, New York, NY 10012)

Featuring: Yu-Jie Chen, Assistant Research Professor, Institutum Iurisprudentiae, Academia Sinica; Non-resident Affiliated Scholar, U.S.-Asia Law Institute, NYU School of Law

Co-sponsored by the U.S.-Asia Law Institute (USALI) of New York University School of Law

About the event:

Taiwan’s status as a state is often challenged not because it fails to meet the criteria for statehood, but because of its ambiguous legal relationship with the People’s Republic of China (PRC). We continue our “Taiwan Legal” speaker series by asking how Taiwan, functioning as the Republic of China (ROC), defines its relationship with the PRC in legal terms. Yu-Jie Chen, an assistant research professor at the Institutum Iurisprudentiae of Academia Sinica, will explain what the ROC Constitution says and how Taiwan engages with and distinguishes itself from the PRC.
