Frozen Garlic說得很好，馬英九和柯文哲等的會議，恐怖的不是結果，而是那個不透明、突襲、充滿錯誤的過程，完全就預示了將來中國和台灣簽訂和平協議的樣貌。

Foreign investments in Taiwan hit US$13.3 billion in 2022, a 15-year high, mainly for wind farms and other green projects, media report, noting investments from China fell to $38.7 million, the lowest level since 2009, while Taiwan investments to China fell 13.9% to $5 billion.

It was a pleasure to congratulate & speak with president-elect Petr Pavel of the #CzechRepublic . I look forward to deepening #Taiwan & #Czechia ’s wide-ranging cooperation based on our shared values of freedom, democracy & human rights.

Lithuania, and now Czechia, is unafraid to stand with Taiwan. The moral backbone of Europe is to be found in the east.
Well done prezidentpavel 🤝

Stunning and devastating opening from Newsnight tonight.
Harsh, yes. Media students (and current broadcast journalists!) take note: your edit is nothing without the right choice of music. And oh boy this is quite the choice.

This is the kind of long-form review that makes you want to go out and read the book reviewed immediately. Apparently the Qing state tried to use plain Indigenous as a buffer between Han settlers and the large parts of Taiwan outside of Qing control.

While much of Taiwan celebrates free movement and the end of quarantine, resident foreign workers continue suffering draconian semi-lockdown conditions. At a Hsinchu electronics factory, a 12 hr going-out period was shortened to 6 hr, still in effect. anyone wants to cover, PM me

#一六叛乱 调查委员会全票通过传唤川普作证

Quincy Davis, or Q, a naturalized Taiwanese basketball player who plays in P. LEAGUE+ of Taiwan, says he is disappointed that the league is discussing the possibility of re-categorizing him as a foreign player despite he is a Taiwanese citizen without dual nationality. 1/

Elly Zhang Most of that is untrue, because for most of history, Taiwan was owned by its indigenous people.

But even if it were true, it's irrelevant, because in the end, only those living in Taiwan deserve to decide Taiwan's future. Nobody else.

Proud to have worked on the #TaiwanPolicyActof2022 and getting it passed through Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member yesterday! The manager's package [note: diff from intro'ed text] can be found here: bit.ly/3LjfcEx. [Final text to be posted soon].

Key provisions to highlight (1/🧵):

Taiwan Strait constitutes international strait. Beyond the 12nm territorial sea limit on both sides of the waterway, there's a considerable high seas corridor where international users exercise freedom of navigation and overflight. You hamper this at your own peril.

Last point: 'look at problems from a political perspective' - quotes Mao as saying 'the key to all problems is in politics'

UPDATE: The U.S. delegation’s flight landed in Taipei at 18:53 local time. AIT has confirmed that Senator Ed Markey lead a congressional delegation (@RepLowenthal, Don Beyer and Rep. Aumua Amata🇦🇸) to Taiwan from Aug 14-15, as part of a larger visit to the Indo-Pacific region. 1/

Exactly 1yr ago, I landed in the UK to make a little film about a HK family who had moved to a small town few had heard of. I was warned that they might seem too ordinary. None of us knew a year later, the 2-pt documentary would reach a combined 2.5m views youtu.be/_OfTvQbAC5o
