After interviewing former U.S. Congresswoman Jackie Speier who firmly believes Taiwan should be independent from mainland China in terms of economy, democracy, and international relations, it is highlighted that many countries are now speaking up for Taiwan's democracy and freedom in contrast to China's threats. Since Taiwan is receiving more support, especially from the U.S., relations have warmed significantly due to efforts by Taiwanese expatriates. Ten years ago, Taiwan experienced social movements like the Sunflower Student Movement, and recently, the Qingdao East Movement sparked conflicts due to controversial legislative issues. Speier's longstanding support for Taiwan's independence is reflected in her interactions with Taiwanese students during the Sunflower Movement, as she applauded their resilience and advocated for Taiwan's democratic rights.
