Taiwan’s youth

The report by Florence de Changy, accompanied by photographs from Nicolas Datiche for M, le magazine du Monde, offers a nuanced portrait of Taiwanese youth. With the January 2024 elections approaching, these young people—often not very politicized—navigate between the economic appeal of China and the desire to preserve their democratic identity. Datiche’s images capture this duality: a modern, connected generation, yet filled with uncertainty amid growing geopolitical tensions. Together, the text and photos provide a sensitive look into the daily lives of a youth searching for meaning and direction.
