Kinmen’s Identity Between China and Taiwan
Taiwan’s outlying Kinmen islands used to be viewed as a staging post for the Chinese Nationalists’ return to China. Now, more and more Kinmen locals wish for closer ties between Beijing and Taipei. On this episode of Zoom In Zoom Out, TaiwanPlus reporter Reece Ayers speaks to documentary filmmaker S. Leo Chiang. Leo is the director of "Island In Between," a short film reflecting on Taiwanese identity from the islands of Kinmen. We zoom in on what Leo saw at the borders, then zoom out on broader questions about nationality and belonging.
