DESCRIPTION:Cross-border marriages have grown across East Asia in the last 
 few decades. Children from these transnational unions are reaching adultho
 od\, but their identity formation is yet subject to academic scrutiny. Dra
 wing on in-depth interviews with 50 young adult children of cross-border m
 arriages in Taiwan\, this talk examines how differences in ethnic backgrou
 nds (Mainland Chinese or Southeast Asian immigrant mothers) shape their id
 entity management strategies. I emphasize that the macro context of geopol
 itics enables and constrains their identity negotiation at the micro level
 . Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy\, implemented in 2016\, reframed the ethn
 ic difference of Southeast Asian immigrants as a multicultural asset inste
 ad of a social liability\, allowing “the new second generation” (a new off
 icial label) to enjoy some institutional opportunities and ethnic dividend
 s. By contrast\, as political confrontation has intensified across Taiwan’
 s Strait\, Chinese spouses are easily suspected of lacking political loyal
 ty\; their language and cultural intimacy also make it difficult to claim 
 a multicultural niche. Their children have developed different strategies\
 , including replacement\, rescaling\, and differentiation\, to manage the 
 conflicting and ambiguous identities.\n
