A bunch of deeply unimpressive politicians are paralysing Taiwan’s democracy for shameful, self-interested reasons. China is the only winner. My column on the KMT-led opposition antics holding Taiwan politics hostage.

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!! 🇺🇦
Sat in a public in Taiwan, driver didn't know English and I obviously didn't know his language.
I was with my family of 4, not knowing the fare I just handed him two 100 TWD notes, driver looked puzzled but wasn't able to communicate. A granny sitting right infront, simply paid some coins and then driver happily showed me a place to put 100 note and said ok.
I understood it later, the fare was probably 120 TWD and drivers never have change as people usually use the IC card, but someone was kind enough to just pay for the helpless looking tourists.
Guys! Travel the world, people are beautiful, world is beautiful and Racism is mostly prevalent in SM! Reality is very different.
"Mr. Mamdani, you are more than welcome to come to one of my safe houses."
Masih Alinejad, who was targeted for assassination by the Iranian regime at her Brooklyn home, responded to a statement released by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani that today's military strikes on Iran "mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression.” Listen to her here:
Mr @NYCMayor,
I say it as an Iranian New Yorker: You are a human garbage.
When our people were getting slaughtered and hunted like animals by the Islamic Republic terrorists, you stayed silent. You didn't say a word. Now that the regime, the murderers of our people are under attack, you came out of the woodwork to defend them.
You are an Islamist human garbage and I fight your agenda as long as I breathe.
Friends of Taiwan: I stand with my colleagues in Congress urging the Legislative Yuan to back President Lai and fund his FULL defense budget proposal. The threat from Beijing is real and growing. America stands with Taiwan, but Taiwan must stand strong. The world is watching.
This congressional support is important. But too many KMT / TPP politicians are pro-PRC. More effective...cancel USA visas and green cards of KMT/TPP politicians' relatives.
The threat posed by Communist China against Taiwan has never been greater.
That’s why I led a bipartisan letter with 36 of my colleagues in the Senate and House to urge Taiwan to pass the full special defense budget.
Together, we can meet the moment and successfully deter Communist China’s aggression.
‘We are here because we believe this is stolen land!’
@benleo attempts to knock on Billie Eilish’s front door to ask her about her ‘stolen land’ comments at the Grammys.
‘Isn’t that ironic, massive gates keeping people out!’
Now is not the time to weaken Taiwan’s defenses. Cutting their defense budget undermines investments in essential weapons systems just as China’s threats are intensifying. Taiwan’s parliament should reconsider this move.
Taiwan’s legislature adjourned last week without passing the budget necessary for Taiwan to defend itself. Meantime, the leadership of the opposition party responsible for this, the KMT, is in Beijing meeting with the CCP and planning bigger engagements. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s going on here. I’ve warned before - short changing Taiwan’s defense to kowtow to the CCP is playing with fire.
