...American Studies courses offered at FAS this year—all taught by the same visiting professor, Eric Tang.“Harvard prides itself on its diversity, but there’s a huge gap in the discussion on Asian American studies,” says Yuting P. Chiang ’10, co-chair of the Asian American Association (AAA) education-politics committee. Student advocacy for Asian American studies has waxed and waned within the AAA as new leaders joined the campaign and then grew frustrated by their lack of success, said Phoebe...

And no one expects progress on the issue of the National Palace Museum collections in Taiwan. The Chinese government still views the museum's holdings as stolen loot, spirited away by Chiang Kai-shek's army when it retreated to the island in 1949; curators in Taipei don't dare let the artifacts travel to the mainland for fear that they might not return.
