BRIAN HIOE (丘琦欣) is a founding editor of NEW BLOOM MAGAZINE, an on-line publication that grew out of the pivotal Sunflower Movement in Taiwan. In March 2014, students occupied the national parliament for a month to protest against a trade deal with China. Many of the students activists have since become politicians, leaders in NGOs, or academics. Brian launched an English-language news site to cover activism and youth politics in Taiwan and Asia Pacific. He also has a physical space, where he runs community gatherings and speaker series. “Taiwanese young people decided to really stand up for what they felt was their future being at stake.” In this interview series, “Game Changers with Emily Y. Wu” we speak with emerging leaders - the cool, young, hip people who are changing the world, starting in Taiwan. Get in touch with BRIAN HIOE if you also work in youth activism and media.
