Shi Zhengfeng

academic

Shi Zhengfeng is a prominent scholar and former dean of the Indigenous Studies Institute at Dong Hwa University in Taiwan, specializing in minority ethnic issues. He has been vocal about the complexities of Taiwan's ethnic classifications, particularly criticizing government policies that seem to downplay the historical and cultural connections between the majority Han population and Taiwan's indigenous groups. His recent remarks have highlighted the ongoing debates surrounding identity and representation in Taiwanese society, particularly in the context of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party's push for 'de-Sinicization' and how it affects the perception of the Han majority.
