New AIT director says Taiwan has entered a ‘new golden age’

Speaking to CNA in his first media interview since taking office as director of the American Institute in Taiwan, Raymond Greene described Taiwan as entering a new technological "golden age" while reflecting on the challenges and opportunities faced by the island. Greene is no stranger to Taiwan, having served as deputy chief of the institute's political section from 2002 to 2005, and as AIT deputy director under Oudkirk's predecessor Brent Christensen from 2018 to 2021. Over 20 years since his first posting in Taipei, Greene said he has seen "quite a bit of change related to both the opportunities and the risks."
