According to Chairman Chi Su, the Taipei Forum was founded by Mr. Jian-Ren Cheng in 1982. It is a cross-party, interdisciplinary, non-profit think tank. It had succeeded in holding a record seminar which members of both KMT and DPP, as well as scholars from China and the United States, gathered together to discuss Asian and cross-strait issues and generated fulfilling results. No think tank in Taiwan has ever been able to break the record. Chairman Su hoped the seminar would gather opinions from experts from all domains to prepare for the post-pandemic economic challenges.
