【演講摘要】
In April 2020, the Milk Tea Alliance (MTA) emerged amidst a meme war between Thai and Chinese nationalist netizens, evolving from a presumably online phenomenon to an influential force during the Thai youth protests in 2020 and the Myanmar anti-coup movement in 2021. However, the MTA is not the first instance of transnational collective action among youth activists in the region, as the past decades have seen extensive interactions among activists from different nations, such as Hong Kong-Taiwan and Thailand-Hong Kong, as well as within multinational frameworks like the Network of Young Democratic Asians. This study examines the development and dynamics of transnational youth activism in East and Southeast Asia through a processual perspective, situating the MTA as a conjuncture of earlier forms of collective action and collaboration from the 2010s to the 2020s. It argues that pre-existing networks significantly influenced the emergence of the MTA, while its dynamics and forms of collaboration were shaped by a history of negotiation and alliance-building among cross-national movement networks. Far from being a static or spontaneous phenomenon, the MTA reflects the region’s long-term interactions among activists, characterized by fluidity, transformation, and evolving alliances over time.
