CommonWealth Magazine's Kwangyin Liu Receives SOPA Recognition for "Taiwanology" Podcast

03 July 2026

It was an immense honor to be recognized by the SOPA - The Society of Publishers in Asia in the category of audio reporting for my 主題標籤#Taiwanology podcast.

This episode featuring Hazem Almassry and Roi Silberberg seeks to explore the possibility of dialogue in the face of adversity, which also addressed the experience and reflections following their visit to Kinmen, the outlying island facing China.

I cannot thank enough my extremely capable coworkers with the CommonWealth Magazine Group(天下雜誌集團) podcast team, as well as the Lung Yingtai Cultural Foundation for bringing the inaugural peace fellows to Taiwan last year.
Three years ago, I started the 主題標籤#Taiwanology podcast because I believed strongly that as Taiwan‘s importance rises, the need for Taiwanese perspectives in the global sphere is more urgent than ever. My belief today is even stronger, and I am super grateful that the judges at SOPA also recognized our work.

Also a big thank you to my editor in chief Yi-Shan Chen for her support and trust. Thank you Gushi Sethi for putting together a wonderful event.
