About this Event
Chris Horton is a Taipei-based journalist and author who for the past 10 years has covered cross-strait politics, domestic politics, the economy, and culture in Taiwan. Horton has contributed extensively to The New York Times, Bloomberg News, The Atlantic, and Nikkei Asia. He has lived in Taiwan since 2015, after working in China and Hong Kong over the preceding 15 years.
About the book: Perched precariously on the fault lines of global power, Taiwan is Asia's freest democracy and a global tech colossus. Yet its remarkable people and their inspiring history remain overlooked and misunderstood. Ghost Nation draws from Horton's decade of living and reporting in Taiwan, and is informed by interviews with everyday citizens, presidents and other key figures. The book provides a panoramic view of this isolated but indispensable country -- one that is both central to the Asian security order and the global economy.
