A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   Minnie Sun is one of the co-founders of Taiwan Mixed, a platform that aggregates English content on Taiwan. She was in Taipei when I spoke with her recently about Taiwan Mixed and her perspectives on how Taiwan or the Taiwanese Can Help when it comes to the stigmatization of COVID-19 which has been attributed to the recent rise in anti-Asian sentiment.  How #CanTaiwanHelp #StopAsianHate?     Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   Where the idea for Taiwan Mixed came from Project Taiwan How Taiwan Mixed provides TLDR (too long didn't read) articles in English about Taiwan How Taiwan Mixed got started The 228, Decolonization and Transitional Justice event that Taiwan Mixed hosted on Clubhouse in March The challenges they've experienced with Taiwan Mixed How Taiwan Mixed chooses its partners and news sources to feature What feedback Taiwan Mixed has gotten so far What she hopes to accomplish with Taiwan Mixed The future of Taiwan Mixed The origin of the hashtag #TaiwanCanHelp The CommonWealth article, #TaiwanCanHelp curb anti-Asian sentiment: stop saying "Wuhan pneumonia" written by Minnie Sun The #StopAsianHate community forum hosted by Taiwan Mixed What the Taiwanese can do to combat anti-Asian sentiment The criticisms of and reactions to Minnie's CommonWeath article How to apply to be a partner of Taiwan Mixed     Related Links:   Taiwan Mixed: https://www.taiwanmixed.org/   Taiwan Mixed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/taiwanmixed   Taiwan Mixed on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tw.mixed/   Taiwan Mixed on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tw_mixed   Project Taiwan: https://www.projecttaiwan.org/   Taiwan Can Help: https://taiwancanhelp.us/   The article, #TaiwanCanHelp curb anti-Asian sentiment: stop saying "Wuhan pneumonia" written by Minnie Sun: https://english.cw.com.tw/article/article.action?id=2962   Video of a DPP Representative, at a forum in Dubai on COVID-19, explicitly using the term "Wuhan Virus" in English: https://twitter.com/tw_mixed/status/1385142073188229122   Taiwan Mixed's Twitter Conversation Thread about the article, #TaiwanCanHelp curb anti-Asian sentiment: stop saying "Wuhan pneumonia" written by Minnie Sun: https://twitter.com/tw_mixed/status/1385140250922557440
