In the latest round of attempts by #China to punish #Taiwan, Beijing has announced it will cancel all imports of Taiwanese pineapple from March 1. I don't know about you, but I'm suddenly craving Taiwanese pineapple.
This is an incredibly cynical & potentially damaging effort by the @kuomintang to undo a major advance in US-TW relations.
If it succeeds, it will rewind trade policy beyond Aug ‘20. It will drive a sword through any hope of a BTA https://t.co/k4tSS12G6l
On Feb 28, 1947, thousands of Taiwanese were massacred by the KMT.
Following the 228 Massacre, the KMT imposed martial law — lasting for 38 years. The authoritarian dictatorship arbitrarily detained, tortured, and murdered countless Taiwanese.
We must never forget.

It says something important that the President of the United States of America will routinely call and meet PRC Chairman Xi, a genocidal tyrant, but won’t interact with the elected President of Taiwan (ROC), one of freest and most liberal countries in world. Own Goal.
A compelling set of arguments from @ElbridgeColby on how #Taiwan can be defensible and why the United States should defend it. The investments, plannings, and exercises made now and for the next 4 years could very well determine the outcome of a potential conflict down the road.
🎉 🇹🇼Despite economic slowdown around the world due to COVID-19, Taiwan exported more goods & services in 2020 than ever before, reaching US$345.28 billion ( ⬆️4.9% from 2019). This means more jobs right here in Taiwan!
Political Warfare Exhibit A. CCP stats are pure propaganda. Yet, without caveat, the Economist quotes them and gives them immense credibility. Now the world will believe PRC system is paying off and its ugly conduct during the pandemic was justified.

The PRC response clearly shows the anachronistic “One-China Principle” for what Beijing fears most: the international community finally realizing the immense public good that including Taiwan would bring and the risks that its unreasonable exclusion presents. #TaiwanModel

The #Canadian parliament’s Subcomm on Int’l Human Rights concluded that the persecution of #Uyghurs & others constitutes #genocide. The Chairs urge @UN to address the #Chinese govt’s atrocities & for @StateDept to issue an atrocity crimes determination.

Yes, agreed. The world's only major growth engine, wait for it, is the USA.
How do I know this? Just look at the US imports and retail sales. Been up for a while now & surpasses China's growth for months.
