Taiwanese academics who were invited to attend an ocean forum in Kenya were denied entry. Yet another case of PRC pressure. This strategy of isolating Taiwan from the international community is counterproductive.

Breaking news: EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas says the EU has "now verified reports that the Chinese military has been training Russian military personnel to fight in Ukraine"

Speaking after a meeting of EU foreign ministers - "we are carefully assessing the implications"

[Lev Nachman @lnachman32]

As Ryan notes, the war in Iran advances Beijing's narrative in Taiwan that the US is in decline and would be unable to help Taiwan. In our new analysis for @BrookingsFP, we find evidence for this effect. It is one of the only issues where Taiwanese agree across party lines.

@JohnCornyn 100%. the us withdraws from the world health organization, china commits more.

us withdrawal from global leadership is a win for beijing.

On June 4 this year, as every year, I think back to that terrible night in 1989 when I watched China's army fire on the crowd that I was in and massacre unarmed protesters. I'll never forget the courage I saw that night, as well as the cruelty. #Tiananmen https://t.co/ySyNR1yjzM

8964，是中共永远无法抹去的历史记忆；人民追求自由与尊严的火种，也绝不会熄灭。

期盼中国人民真正享有自由的那一天，早日到来。

Wenn Trump Taiwans Sicherheit als Verhandlungschip gegenüber 🇨🇳 sieht, muss Europa Haltung zeigen. Der Besuch der Bundestags-Delegation in Taiwan ist richtig: Wir bekennen uns zum demokratischen, rechtsstaatlichen Taiwan + zum Frieden im Indopazifik.🇹🇼🇩🇪🇪🇺 https://t.co/Oa9MXHUait

A France-led group of five EU countries is calling on Brussels to make a broader use of tariffs and other defensive measures to take on China and other countries' abusive trade practices.

[Finbarr Bermingham @fbermingham]

A coalition of major EU member states is pushing Brussels towards a much tougher trade regime aimed at combating Chinese-style industrial overcapacity, including faster emergency tariffs, broader safeguards and new anti-circumvention powers

TVP with the story - Taiwan has ‘ability and determination’ to deter China, island’s FM tells TVP World

But who's that weird ginger guy sulking around in the background?

Breaking news: Taiwan foreign minister Lin-chia Lung is in Prague

Spotted him speaking to Polish media crew

Comes amid a relative thaw in Czech ties with Beijing - and after his recent trip to Geneva to coincide with the World Health Assembly

[Marcin Jerzewski 葉皓勤 @yehaoqin]

As #Taiwan remains excluded from the World Health Assembly for the 10th year, who supports its meaningful participation in the body?
Changes b/w 2025 & 2026:
Aotearoa New Zealand and Poland sign the joint press release this year, Czechia no longer does

Amid the stresses of global geopolitics, some good news of warmth & culture from Taiwan, as the book Taiwan Travelogue wins another major international literature award. Congratulations to both author Yang Shuang-zi & translator Lin King. ❤️🎊

[Emily Feng 冯哲芸 @EmilyZFeng]

Absolutely not surprising but a limited leak of a Chinese local surveillance platform drawing off an apparently large national one has a special drop down for tracking for tracking foreign journalists in China… including me. @NetAskari found the data https://t.co/z6v9TrFiPe

[Nikki Haley @NikkiHaley]

Taiwan warned the world about COVID. China lied, silenced doctors, and let the virus spread.

This week, for the 10th straight year, the UN’s global health body excluded Taiwan because Beijing demanded it.

Taiwan told the truth. China covered it up. The UN rewards China anyway.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: The Telegraph can reveal a secret Chinese surveillance platform used to track foreigners, journalists and individuals deemed “of interest” to the state

@sophia_yan explains how the platform's records label her as "trackable" ⤵️

Taiwan is the world's leading chip manufacturer and a crucial partner in Arizona's semiconductor boom. We can't afford to let Xi Jinping control that chokepoint.

The president needs to stop delaying our defensive arms sale to Taiwan.

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

In 2024, the late Ed Feulner and I wrote this essay on why continued U.S. support for Taiwan Matters. For Our National Security and all our Allies across the Asia-Pacific, @POTUS should sign the $14B in Arms Sales approved by Congress without delay. Peace Through Strength🇺🇸 https://t.co/UTM18Ob0e7

[Ryan Hass @ryanl_hass]

Axios:“Some close advisers to Trump fear the China summit heightened danger that Xi Jinping will take control of Taiwan in next five years.”

This reporting reinforces my concern that Beijing will be emboldened, not soothed, by Trump’s posture.
