2024 Academia Sinica Open House

As the United States will hold its 60th presidential election in November, the Democratic and Republican parties have nominated current President Biden and former President Trump to run in the election after the party primaries respectively.  However, in July, Biden announced that he would not seek re-election, leading the Democratic Party to officially nominate current Vice President Kamala Harris as their candidate in August.

Although the Democratic Party is not represented by the incumbent president, this presidential election can still be viewed as a contest between the "incumbent" and the "former" officeholder. Since both candidates have prior governing experience, their personal styles and previous policies can serve as a basis for predicting future international dynamics and the development of U.S.-China-Taiwan relations.

This event will feature scholars who will share their expertise and personal observations to discuss the potential changes or continuities in U.S.-China-Taiwan relations, helping the public better understand the complex international relations and cross-Strait relations.
