Brian Hioe
Brian Hioe (丘琦欣) is a founding editor of New Bloom Magazine,[1] an online publication covering activism and youth politics in Taiwan and the Asia Pacific.[2] He also writes for The News Lens and Thinking Taiwan, operated by the Thinking Taiwan Foundation, which was founded by Democratic Progressive Party chairperson Tsai Ing-wen in 2012,[3] before she was elected President of Taiwan.[4] Hioe writes on a topics ranging from Sinophone cinema to geopolitics.
Christopher Lupke, Professor of East Asian Studies at the University of Alberta, has noted Hioe's contention that Anglophone scholarship ... "remains largely convinced that film director Hou Hsiao-Hsien is a quintessentially Taiwanese filmmaker" ... but that Hou remains "far more complicated than that as a director".[5] Lupke also notes Hioe's argument that Hou's film The Assassin, can be viewed as a political allegory – and that Hioe also suggests that Hou's loyalties are with China, not Taiwan.[5]
Writing in The Nanfang, a Hong Kong based daily journal about China, Michael Turton, a long-term observer of the region, commended Hioe's commentaries on the 2016 election in Taiwan, and Hung Hsiu-Chu’s meeting with Xi Jinping which took place in the same year.[6][7] Justin P. Kwan, at the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APFC) cites Hioe's views regarding Cross-Strait Relations; as well as his detailed coverage of police violence in the Sunflower Movement.[8]
Hioe has also been interviewed about current affairs on International Community Radio Taipei.[9] With fellow New Bloom editor Wen Liu, Hioe has explored the issues of corruption and transparency in popular cultures.[10]
Hioe has an M.A. from Columbia University. Formerly a resident of Taipei, Taiwan, he is currently living in New York City and is an occasional translator and freelance writer on politics and social activism.[11]
