@eurochallenges In settings you can essentially choose the languages that you understand.

@Scholars_Stage Interesting that this lesson is learned and applied against Russia, but not China.

[Paul Turskis @pturskis]

@Scholars_Stage How do you evaluate Taiwanese resilience? Would society be willing to make sacrifices and maintain cohesion? Would the government apparatus be smart and decisive?

@mranti 她说大错误，没有用"战略"这词。英文翻译是不准确。
因为中国支持俄罗斯打战，立陶宛也不会特别着急恢复两国外交关系。

@JamesDJBrown To be honest, Chinese Foreign Ministry has been pushing this narrative for decades. It seems that since China and Russia are quasi-allies now, the Russian MoF and propaganda apparatus has joined them in.

@PaulHuangReport @TPP_Taiwan Thanks for explaining. How come such an important question still remains in a legal gray area? One would think it's quite a national security issue to allow so many people to maintain both ROC and PRC passports.

@Scholars_Stage Do you know if the drive to annex Greenland, and even maybe Canada, comes from Trump himself or from other officials (i.e. Vance or Miller)?

@Scholars_Stage If Lizzi refers to this article, it's just a collection of Xi's old remarks about the domestic demand importance, but includes zero calls to action or specific suggestions. It looks like Xi is just paying the lip service to the problem.

@Scholars_Stage Your insights about China and American politics are one of the main reasons why I visit this website. If you leave X, hope there will be some other platform to follow you.

@ruima @TechBuzzChina Could you reveal what kind of robots do they make? And what is the reason the company is popular?

[Paul Turskis @pturskis]

@DAlperovitch Quite a few Taiwanese drone companies have surprising links to China. The industry is likely quite penetrated.

@Scholars_Stage 忧患意识 is more like risk consciousness. It does not imply something as strong as calamity. Better translation would be to not give in to trumph or to remain cautious.

[Paul Turskis @pturskis]

@ChristopherJM @KathrinHille The company also makes RC toys and dental equipment. They have business interests in China - a subsidiary and income/sales. I am also quite sceptical it's possible to make a drone without Chinese inputs, so any claims of 100% Made in Taiwan ring hollow.

@Scholars_Stage Have you read the latest report from Howard Wang about the PLA's lessons from the Russian war against Ukraine? They may now think that attritional war could allow them overcoming the US technological advances.

@mranti 爱沙尼亚和拉脱维亚非公民(non-citizens)不能做这些事情:
1. 当公务员或参加选举
2. 投票选举，尤其国会选举
3. 当兵
4. 随便搬家欧盟国家和免签去很多地方 (但可以免签去俄罗斯和白俄罗斯)
非公民在两国宪法还算是公民，但因为合理理由，政府要限制他们政治影响力

@JacobShap Regardless of personal views of Trump, it is worrying that EU (mostly GER, I guess) is overreacting to US actions & sometimes valid criticism, and ignoring China's economic threat. Both interests and values should keep us closer to Washington.

[Paul Turskis @pturskis]

@DesmondShum Recent purges and investigation rumours (i.e. He Weidong) involve officials who could be considered Xi's people. Is China/CCP approaching something like the Great Terror minus the show trials and executions?

[Paul Turskis @pturskis]

@Lingling_Wei How reliable is such info? How sceptical should we be every time there are rumours about sensitive and secret info from inside the system?

[Paul Turskis @pturskis]

@Scholars_Stage As an atlanticist European, I hope this is a transitional period. There will be volatility in the relationship for now, but both sides should eventually find the right balance and remain close partners. More self-reliant (but not too strong and united) EUR is in the US interest.
