#Thailand 🇹🇭: as evening fell hundreds of people gathered at the Democracy Monument in #Bangkok to protest against the flagrant attempt by the ruling junta establishment to sabotage the opposition and retain power.

It's official: Pita Limjaroenrat will *not* be #Thailand's next prime minister But there's bigger trouble looming, and it's following a very familiar script Thai politics is stuck in a loop. So what can history tell us about what happens next? A 🧵 1/n #โหวตนายกรอบ2 #นายกส้มหล่น

Reporting on the eve of the election in #Taiwan

My curtain-raiser for the election: youtu.be/YSxlUxio3_o?si…

Among the first-time voters in tomorrow's #Taiwan general election are a group of #HongKong immigrants. I met the founder of HK's 2014 occupy movement Chan Kin-man in Taiwan who said he'd cast his vote 'with tears' - referring to the disappointment brought by #DPP to HK diaspora.
