@hbarnes From Taipei, Taiwan with the family. GSG!

The answer is, no, funding to the arts would be cut. The Great Recall Movement was a moment that showed, in line with contemporary identity trends among young people, to what extent cultural workers hated the KMT. Yang Shuang-zi herself became a spokesperson for the recalls

Taiwan is becoming increasingly diverse and that should be celebrated—and it should be noted that migrants take up jobs with labor conditions that Taiwanese no longer want to take. At the same time, I do expect right-wing backlash from the usual suspects

@hbarnes Watched the game from Taipei, Taiwan. GSG!

It proves disappointing to see Taiwanese society is as racist against Indians as it was three years ago, when the idea was first introduced. Outrage is drummed up by the KMT, of course, but it reflects badly on Taiwanese society as a whole

Li Zhen-xiu expelled from the TPP over her comments alleging Ann Kao received mine from Ko…which means she is also out as TPP legislator. That marks the end of the term in office of the first China-born legislator? A meteoric rise and fall

The PLA really has no idea what it's doing, hm? Air incursions have basically increased from Day 1 of Cheng's trip until now and are at the highest immediately after Cheng's meeting with Xi. Really throws water onto the KMT narrative of being able to dial back tensions

[Brian Hioe 丘琦欣 @brianhioe]

LTN is reporting that Li Zhen-xiu may face expulsion from the TPP next week over her comments alleging that Ann Kao received 7 million NT from Ko Wen-je. Er, what?

One KMT insider told @NikkeiAsia that Beijing didn’t warm to Cheng’s predecessor Eric Chu. Instead, Fu Kun-chi, Taiwan’s most powerful lawmaker, was invited to China 2 years ago and was received by Wang Huning, the most senior CCP official in charge of Taiwan relations under Xi.

[Lev Nachman @lnachman32]

In my book "Contested Taiwan," I write exstensively on the importance of the KMT senior leaderships 2005 trips to China, how it normalized KMT-CCP relations to a new historic level, and importantly, how these kinds of close ties set the stage for eventual protest back in Taiwan.

[Lev Nachman @lnachman32]

The KMT party chair will meet with Xi. This could be huge not just for the upcoming local elections, but also KMT internal politics for their 2028 presidential nominee.

All eyes and ears on how Taiwanese voters receive this meeting and its outcome.

[Tingting Liu 劉亭廷 @tingtingliuTV]

EXCLUSIVE: From energy, trade to regional security, I sat down with AIT Director Raymond Greene, where he lays out how Washington sees the next phase of U.S.-Taiwan cooperation. “Stable” U.S.-China ties, he says, should not mean sacrificing Taiwan. (1/2)

At the TPP rally against Ko Wen-je’s sentence and am surprised it’s not larger, since the party was built around Ko and there should be a stronger reaction. The space between the Taipei Guest House and East Gate is not densely packed with overcast but not rainy weather

[Chris Horton 何貴森 @heguisen]

For more than a decade, Fred Chin was a political prisoner under KMT martial law in Taiwan.

For even longer, he has led tours of the detention center where he once suffered under unimaginable conditions. This is worth reading if you don't know his story.

TPP now considering internal disciplinary action against Li Zhen-xiu for what Li now claims was a gaffe

@spurs The Memorial Day Miracle.

[Thompson Chau @tchau01]

TPP legislator Li Chen-Hsiu - a Chinese citizen - told @DominoTheoryMag that China should be proud of the progress it has made. “They have managed to guide such a large country with a huge population and economic growth to where it is today.” 1/2

Nearly 70 percent of respondents said they would support unmarried partners and single women having children if key institutional protections were established, according to an online survey released Tuesday by a Taiwanese childcare NGO.

Brilliant work, these findings will challenge assumptions about how much Taiwanese people care about defending offshore islands:

"Respondents’ approval for defending offshore islands...was statistically indistinguishable from their average approval for defending Taiwan proper."
