Ep 10: Soulbinding and the "ROC"

On the occasion of the 113th Posthumous Birthday of the "Republic of China," we delve into the remnants of the former Chinese government that passed at the young age of 38. After 1949, the Republic of China ceased to exist as a living entity, yet its name has lingered, haunting Taiwan for over seven decades, constantly redefined by various political actors––like different souls reanimating the same corpse. Join us as we unpack this political soulbinding and explore how figures from Chiang Kai-shek to Lai Ching-te, with their differing convictions, have reanimated this political zombie.
