My column: Taiwan’s opposition KMT says it backs domestic drone-making as a deterrent but its budget manoeuvres have delayed production. China Twitter: you warmonger! disrespecting KMT’s bond with voters who don’t want drones or to re-arm. KMT: we want drones but with our budget
Today I returned to #Taiwan after a fruitful visit to #Eswatini, further strengthening our partnership. Overcoming initial disruptions, the trip further highlighted that the people of Taiwan have both the right & the resolve to continue contributing to the global community.
To my Muslim friends,
I hear some of you want to live in Japan.
Let me be honest with you.
More than half of our ramen shops use pork broth.
Even convenience-store rice balls often contain pork extract.
Summer brings shrine festivals, autumn brings rituals,
New Year means a visit to a shrine.
When someone dies, we cremate them.
And refusing a drink?
That’s not really part of our culture
— here, people pour one for you.
This isn’t hostility.
It’s just 1,500 years of daily life.
And we have no plans to change it.
Before you come to a place
that doesn’t fit you,
please — think it through carefully.
For your sake, and ours.
Upon arriving in #Eswatini, we began a full program of engagements, including a bilateral meeting with His Majesty King Mswati III & the signing of a joint communiqué. From cultivating crops to enhanced trade, our cooperation continues to highlight #Taiwan's global contributions.
Singapore has just banned six fake websites posing as local media outlets: Singapore Times, Singapore Weekly, Singapore 24 Hours, Nanyang Weekly, Singapore Headlines, and Singapore Buzz.
The authority found that all of these news websites were operated from Jiangsu, China, and hosted on Alibaba Cloud. It is a textbook case of foreign interference and propaganda.
Thank you, Taiwan 🇹🇼!
You have provided the largest single donation of ambulances and emergency vehicles since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, 68 vehicles in total!
This generous gift will save countless Ukrainian lives across frontline cities.
UKRAINE WILL WIN!! 🇺🇦
Fuck the KMT.
The KMT is a disgrace.
Let me explain why:
The KMT lost the mainland.
The KMT caused the white terror.
The KMT can't win an election because the Taiwanese hate them.
The new leader of the KMT sucked up to Xi Jinping.
The KMT is genuinely a disgrace.
I thank IPAC & many friends who have supported Taiwan's freedom to engage with other members of the international community. We need to reject China's expanding toolbox of coercion aimed at suppressing & isolating Taiwan.
