S4-E12 - The Dalai Lama Visits Taiwan (1997)

John chats with Michael Aldrich, author of “Old Lhasa: A
Biography,” about relations between Taiwan and Tibet
(specifically the Tibetan government-in-exile in Dharamshala,
India). Despite Taipei and Dharamshala sharing a common foe, this
relationship was for decades a difficult one. A turning
point came in 1997 with the tremendously successful landmark
visit of the Dalai Lama. And, we hear (via a translation
read by Eryk) from Taiwan Tibet Office chief Kelsang
Gyaltsen, about the warm Taiwan–Tibet relations enjoyed today.
