This chapter examines how one of the key binaries of Chinese thought—that of nei–wai (internal– external)—has evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan and is reflected in its discourses on its neighbours. The authors argue that the pandemic has served as a meta-catalyst in which material and discursive conditions continue to transform the way that Taiwanese construct and understand their identity and their world.

Abstract
This chapter examines how one of the key binaries of Chinese thought—that of nei–wai (internal– external)—has evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan and is reflected in its discourses on its neighbours. The authors argue that the pandemic has served as a meta-catalyst in which material and discursive conditions continue to transform the way that Taiwanese construct and understand their identity and their world.
