Great report on President Tsai 蔡英文 Tsai Ing-wen, "one of the most important leaders in the world", by John Liu Amy Chang Chien Chris Horton 何貴森 and Paul Mozur 孟建國, with some interesting details about Xi Jinping's disastrous 2019 Taiwan speech. nytimes.com/2023/04/02/wor…

Incredibly proud 🇦🇺 exports to Taiwan now stand at A$30.7b -a new high. Taiwan is now our 4th largest export market & we remain Taiwan’s largest energy provider. I thank our businesses, business councils & all our friends. Our partnership makes us both stronger & more prosperous.

The public 🇨🇳rejection of Lu Shaye's remarks, about post-Soviet states on 🇫🇷TV is remarkable yet rational. Ambassador Lu ▪️contradicted 🇨🇳 official position/practice ▪️was (easily to prove) wrong ▪️has a reputation as an undiplomatic provocateur & careless communicator 🧵

"...and approached the 24-nautical-mile line..." Beijing takes another incremental step forward in its threat escalation.

Really nice article from Andrew Wu about Asian Australians in AFL, including Joanna Lin's Taiwanese-Australian representation for ... Collingwood. theage.com.au/sport/afl/the-…

This is a key paragraph:

How many of you have moved or planned to move to Threads?

This chart summarizing Xi Jinping Thought might look confusing at a first glace. It is not that complicated. Why? 🧵

Agree, in many ways, this campaign is not ok at all...., but this might sarcastically reflect what TPP is all about😂

China suspends imports of Taiwan mangoes due to alleged ‘harmful pest’. Another case of PRC arbitrary import bans. This action is aimed at influencing Taiwan’s election. #economiccoercion. globaltimes.cn/page/202308/12…

Central America parliament expels Taiwan, makes PRC a permanent observer. Parlacen cited UN's 1971 expulsion of Taiwan, claiming it deemed Taiwan a "province of mainland China." Yet, UN Res. 2758 did not determine the status of Taiwan or define its role. gmfus.org/news/distortio…

After returning to China earlier this year to reconnect with a country where I've lived for 20 years, my overall impression is that it's never been more (self) isolated than at any point in the past 45 years. Read my full account Foreign Affairs foreignaffairs.com/china/xi-jinpi…

Remember the number has been corrected, and total funded amount is even lower this year compared with 2020.

At 7 pm, the size of the protest has grown exponentially, stretching across several blocks. A lot of people are clearly arriving straight from work. Many in the crowd are holding up signs criticizing the opposition parties of lack of transparency and trampling democracy. #Taiwan

Very exciting & grateful to be at the protest outside Taiwan's legislature today, as people come to protest against the legislature for wanting to push through a law that will give it over reaching powers to presecute others. Organizers say over 30,000 people are at the protest!
