自由線 FREEDOM LINE(第三期)
The third issue of Freedom Line, published in March 2026, explores the cross-generational and cross-regional pursuit of freedom and democracy among diaspora communities.
This issue highlights diverse avenues of resistance against authoritarianism:
Hong Kong Resistance: Activist Fu Tang details his transition from front-line physical protests to organizing human rights art exhibitions in Taiwan, using art as a resilient tool to preserve memories and counter state-sponsored cultural erasure. Additionally, the "Prisoner of Conscience" column spotlights Jimmy Lai, the 78-year-old founder of Apple Daily, whose ongoing imprisonment under Hong Kong's National Security Law continues to draw severe international condemnation.
Tibetan Sovereignty: Marking the 67th anniversary of the Tibetan Uprising, Tashi Tsering advocates for the use of "Tibet" or "Bod" over the Chinese-imposed term "Xizang," emphasizing the importance of language in maintaining cultural identity.
Chinese Diaspora & Democracy: Han Cheng-chu analyzes the post-White Paper Movement landscape, noting how overseas Chinese youth are forming decentralized networks focusing on democracy, feminism, and LGBTQ+ rights. Furthermore, Li You-tan reflects on decades of participating in overseas democratic movements, arguing that a democratized China built on self-determination is essential for Taiwan's long-term peace.
