A fond goodbye, but not farewell

Leo Seewald/2021-04-092021-04-14 /Leave a comment

When I took up the AmCham Presidency last September, I didn’t foresee how personally rewarding the role would be. In many ways, I found it more engaging than my previous role as AmCham Chairperson because I am now directly involved with both the members and with the intricate details of the Chamber’s work. I also…

Improving English Proficiency in Taiwan Requires Comprehensive Change

Leo Seewald/2021-03-102021-03-15 /Leave a comment

The March issue of TOPICS focuses on the Taiwan Government’s drive to make the island bilingual. This is one of the few initiatives that has bipartisan support, and while it has taken flight rather gradually, it seems that it will only grow in momentum. At its heart is a recognition that Taiwan will benefit economically…

Despite COVID-19, Taiwan’s Food Scene Continues to Flourish

Leo Seewald/2021-01-132021-01-13

It is hard to know what 2021 will bring us, but it appears that travel will not be a big part of the agenda, at least in the first half of the year! As per tradition (Don Shapiro informs me this goes back to 2003), the Wine & Dine edition of TOPICS will help provide you…

President’s View: Out with the old and in with the new

Leo Seewald/2020-11-162020-11-16 /Leave a comment

After 13 years in the same office space, AmCham has now started our office renovation. The staff have all moved down into the 6th floor Lincoln Room while the 7th floor main office undergoes a major renovation. Our temporary office resembles a tech startup – very cozy and intimate. The renovation will be complete early next year,…

AmCham Taipei Takes Action in Support of a BTA

Leo Seewald/2020-10-152020-10-22 /Leave a comment

Taiwan appears to be making progress in pursuing a bilateral trade agreement (BTA) with the U.S. September’s visit of Under Secretary of State Keith Krach, while brief, was a strong indication of the U.S. government’s desire to move ahead on strengthening economic relations with Taiwan. Still, a lot of work needs to be done to move…

Welcoming new developments and the potential opportunities they represent

Leo Seewald/2020-09-122020-09-11 /Leave a comment

The end of summer always seems to come with a lot of changes.   We are pleased that the Taiwan government has finally relaxed its rules with respect to the importation of American pork and beef products.
