Ukraine confirmed Chinese supplies to 20 Russian military plants, intelligence chief says. Do the US and Europe still draw the line at “no lethal aid? “ we need a response to restore our credibility. reuters.com/world/china/uk…

Was great to have Joseph Wu in Berlin. I learnt a great deal during an open, frank and wide-ranging dinner discussion. And we‘ll take you up on the promise to come back next year. Thank you, Bonnie Glaser / 葛來儀 German Marshall Fund for inviting Joseph Wu to the excellent Taiwan Trilateral Forum.

"#Taiwan is not just the world’s semiconductor hub. It is a democratic bellwether in Asia. Europe’s Indo-Pacific strategy cannot be serious if Taiwan is treated as a footnote," writes CCA Senior Fellow on Taiwan Simona Alba Grano for Taipei Times. taipeitimes.com/News/editorial…

Time we take EU-Taiwan ties to new heights. In this Taipei Times piece w/Simona Alba Grano we argue that the EU & Taiwan must step up. EU member states must do more, in line with their own strengths & ambitions, but moving in the same direction with consistency & predictability.

#Taiwan thanks #Czechia for its strong support & for ensuring the VP's safety. We urge the international community to stand against transnational repression & surveillance by authoritarian regimes—threats that infringe upon other nations’ sovereignty. 2/2

The role of influencers like Chen becomes more important in a changing Taiwan - more YouTube consumption, less scepticism of China among Gen Z 👇

This is Alex Yui, our ambassador in the #US. He represents #Taiwan so well that I call him Alexander the Great. I hear the #PRC isn’t a fan — which means he must be doing things right 😁
