Role in the Community Record

Beyond its own archive, taiwanjustice.net circulated as a cited source inside the Taiwanese American story corpus — the community’s memoirs and news round-ups credit the site by name, which is how Echopedia’s own works reference it:

  • TaiwanJustice.net 台灣公義電子報 (2015-10-22, band B) — a record in the taiwaneseamericanhistory.org story corpus citing the site by name, one of the earliest documentary anchors for the site’s 2015 founding year.
  • [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/our-journeys-361|Our Journeys #361]] (posted 2020-11-30) — story syndicated with the credit line “Source from www.taiwanjustice.net/2020-11-14”.
  • [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/our-journeys-366|Our Journeys #366]] (2021-02-03) — story credited “Source from Taiwan Justice 台灣公義報”.

Alias note: in corpus citations the site appears as 台灣公義電子報 and 台灣公義報 (not only 台灣公義網); searches for corpus mentions should try all three forms.

Reach across the corpus (2026-10-11 grep)

A fresh full-corpus grep (taiwanjustice / 台灣公義) returns 511 corpus documents outside the site’s own article archive:

  • 490 records in the taiwaneseamerican.org news corpus (2023-12-08 root crawl) — community event round-ups (Chicago TA Professionals, Alice Tong’s west-coast tour, Jen Shyu in NY, La Asian Film Festival, etc.) all cross-link to a single taiwanjustice.net 2023-12-08 root article, showing the site served as a shared distribution hub for the diaspora’s event calendar, not only as an opinion outlet.
  • 9 event records carry Hub: [[sources/taiwanjustice-net]] — the site is Echopedia’s registered hub source for those events.
  • 7 topic pages cite the site, concentrated on 跨國鎮壓 / transnational-repression coverage (強制送中, surveillance of 賴清德之子, 沈伯洋, the FBI arrest of a PRC operative at LAX), where Echopedia’s own transnational-repression topic sources itself from a taiwanjustice.net 2021-12-02 report.

The report counts 5 categories / 11 measures since 2024, 6 directly hitting the family and their companies, and flags the twice-seen 港媒先點名、國台辦隨後懲戒 sequence (2025-06, 2026-10) as the association’s own analysis — the HK-press trade figures are not official China Customs data and the allegations are unverified; recorded as alleged, not adjudicated.
