Dr Wen Liu: From BlackLivesMatter to MilkTeaAlliance (EISPS Global Politics Remix 2021: Decolonial, Black and Queer Perspectives)
The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed the racial and class inequalities of social structures at a global scale. While Sinophobic discourses are on the rise and the Asian body becomes synonymous to “the China virus,” new waves of transnational Asian activism are on the rise, addressing the interconnected fights against the militarized police state, neoliberal capitalist order, Han supremacy, and the continued impacts of Euro-American coloniality. From the solidarity actions with #BlackLivesMatter to the anti-authoritarian and democratic movements in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand under a social media phenomena “#MilkTeaAlliance,” the talk will highlight the a new form of internationalism against the rapid right-wing turn of global hegemonies that resist the simple binaries of “East vs West” or “White vs. Black.”
