In our new episode of How Come, produced in partnership with the @lvivmediaforum6581 during LMF 2026, Ukraïner International’s Christopher Atwood speaks with Chris Liu, Vice President of Radio Taiwan International (RTI), journalist, and media expert working at the intersection of democracy, human rights, and countering disinformation.
Taiwan is one of the world’s primary targets of both Chinese and Russian disinformation campaigns — a reality that creates striking parallels with Ukraine’s experience. The conversation explores how authoritarian regimes manipulate narratives, why journalism matters in defending democracy, and how media literacy today is deeply connected to emotional awareness.
They also discuss colonial narratives, identity, freedom of expression, AI-generated information ecosystems, and the similarities between Taiwan’s and Ukraine’s experiences living under constant external pressure.
How Come is a series of long-form conversations with journalists, researchers, activists, and thinkers from around the world about propaganda, war, democracy, culture, and the forces shaping public perception today.
