Cross-strait relations have left Taiwan unrecognized on the global stage and facing hurdles to interact with other nations, Liu said. “If it is difficult to use the nation’s identity to promote Taiwan, then we can use a person to introduce our country,” she said. The situation Taiwan faces can be compared to a marginalized student, with the global community knowing little of its achievements in sustainable development, Shen said. Dai has Facebook and LinkedIn accounts and is building a social network, Shen and Huang said. The team’s biggest goal is for Dai to receive job offers from international organizations, as it would be the perfect way to prove to the world that “Dai Yi-wan — Taiwan — can help,” they said.
