The retired opinion leader @HuXijin_GT gave a candid explanation of why China should support Russia on WeiBo. Interestingly he meant it for domestic consumption and didn’t post it on Twitter. I am doing him a favor by translating the main points (thread)

NYT: "A Russian warship ordered 13 soldiers protecting tiny Snake Island to “surrender” or “be bombed.” A Ukrainian guard defiantly responded with an expletive." No, NYT, we ain't children & this is a huge moment. He said "fuck you" & was obliterated. Journalism, step up.

One of the most-oft asked questions I get this year: what’s it like in Taiwan.
My answer 👇
Taiwan Enjoys an "I Told You So" Moment After Tangling with China and the WHO https://t.co/xzp0tqVu5M
The story of viral Instagram models Chang Wan-ji & Hsu Sho-er is so pure. Was a joy to interview them and their grandson, Reef, who helps behind the scenes. A super sweet Taiwanese family sharing love with the world. (Great photos, as always, by @Anrizzy)

The abyss is brutal but not new or shocking. Compare the arrogant and authoritarian #China and the liberal values driven #Taiwan, a country that has been a bench mark on the fight against #COVID19 and helping so many through the donation of millions of masks. #TaiwanCanHelp#WHO
@ChengWenTsan Pleased to see such strong cooperation with #Japan. @g0vtw contributors from #Taiwan have been tirelessly translating, & I'm just one among many dedicated & passionate pairs of hands.

Reminder: Taiwan's exclusion from the World Health Organization due to Chinese pressure poses an unnecessary global health risk, especially when mystery viruses start spreading beyond China's borders. For Beijing, politics trumps lives.
