  • NATPA president; TAC-WC leadership. 黃東昇’s 352. History of Taiwanese American Conference – West Coast (2020-03) names him as President of NATPA and co-chair (with TAFNC president 林政原, coordinator 黃東昇) of the record 500-person 2016 Bay Area TAC-WC; he then agreed to coordinate the 2017 TAC-WC in San Diego, enabling the TAC-WC Board’s formation.
  • Author. His essay “Bottom-Up Economics” is held at 1328. Bottom-Up Economics (2019) and his Chinese-language lecture series on the same theory, 「民富論 – 由下而上的經濟與幣值不均的理論」, is archived in the community press at 台灣公義報 民富論演講 (2024-07) — the theory has circulated in the movement in both English and Chinese.

Corpus Re-check (slices through 09160400-13, 2026-09-16)

  • Re-verified (deepen-x slices 09160316-13 and 09160400-13, 2026-09-16): hit set unchanged.
  • Re-grep for 許正餘 / James J. Y Hsu returns the same corpus set already absorbed above — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys26|Our Journeys #26]] (SD Taiwan Center library 建档), [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys352|Our Journeys #352]] (NATPA presidency, TAC-WC 2016/2017), [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/397-james-j-y-hsu-e8-a8-b1-e6-ad-a3-e9-a4-98-201505|directory record #397]], and the 台灣公義報 民富論 lecture article. No new absorbable material; no conflicts to HOLD.
  • Re-verified (deepen-x slice 09160500-14, 2026-09-16): hit set identical (ourjourneys26, ourjourneys352, #397, 民富論 article, MANIFEST). SKIP: saturated.
  • Re-verified (deepen-x slice 09160600-11, 2026-09-16): hit set identical again (ourjourneys26, ourjourneys352, #397, 民富論 article, MANIFEST, works/index). SKIP: saturated; no new absorbable material, no conflicts to HOLD.
  • Re-verified (deepen-x slice 09160700-7, 2026-09-16): hit set identical (ourjourneys26, ourjourneys352, #397, 民富論 article, MANIFEST, works/index). SKIP: saturated; no new absorbable material, no conflicts to HOLD.
  • Re-verified (deepen-x slice 09162138-4, 2026-09-16): hit set identical again (ourjourneys26, ourjourneys352, #397, 民富論 article, MANIFEST, works/index). SKIP: saturated; no new absorbable material, no conflicts to HOLD.
  • Re-verified (deepen-x slice 09162200-2, 2026-09-16): hit set identical again (ourjourneys26, ourjourneys352, [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/397-james-j-y-hsu-e8-a8-b1-e6-ad-a3-e9-a4-98-201505|#397]], 民富論 article, MANIFEST, works/index).

  • Re-verified (deepen-x slice 10090400-31, 2026-10-10): fresh 5-dir grep (許正餘 / James J. Y Hsu) returns the same absorbed set. The English translation of the San Diego memoir, [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys26-eng|Our Journeys #26 (English)]], confirms the library account — 「Tsai-wei Huang and James J. Y. Hsu were the greatest contributors」, Library-of-Congress cataloguing, with Hsu 「gave some guidance on the software」 while 黃彩娓 keyed the records by hand — consistent with, and no conflict against, the ZH account already absorbed. Record #397 is bibliographic only (full text stays in the vault). No new absorbable material; no conflicts to HOLD.
  • Re-verified (deepen-x slice 10101300-3, 2026-10-11): fresh 5-dir grep (許正餘 / James J. Y Hsu / James J. Y.

SKIP: saturated; no new absorbable material, no conflicts to HOLD.
  • Re-verified (deepen-x slice 10120018-5, 2026-10-12): fresh 5-dir grep (許正餘 / James J. Y. Hsu) returns the identical absorbed set. Surname-only grep (許正) additionally surfaces 許正龍 (Thomas Shu), 許正雄 (Daniel C. Hsu, D.M.D.) and 許正義 (Ron Chen 陳榮成) — distinct persons, not aliases, correctly excluded. SKIP: saturated; no new absorbable material, no conflicts to HOLD.
