China launched another drill around #Taiwan today. With our dashboard, you can easily compare this exercise to previous ones and track changes in their patterns over time.

Let us know if there’s anything you’d like to see on the dashboard—will update it regularly👇🏼 #ddj

By gathering the data from @MoNDefense and @jointstaffpa , we built a dashboard where you can track PLA activities around Taiwan over the past 3 years. We’ll be updating it regularly!

Still processing the intensity of the #TaiwanEarthquake on April 3rd, but it's incredible to me, as a Taiwanese, to see how swiftly most of the things have been back to normal within a day.

Here's a wrap-up by @scheeinfo of what we've learned in the past 20 years.

[T.H. @scheeinfo]

(1) Building codes and construction and all links to those activities. Quite extensive in Chinese

It’s always feel absurd casting my vote under Chiang Kai-shek’s watch.

His status still hold a place in part of Taiwan’s national schools.

4/ The choice of deity matters too. Our data shows that all of the presidential candidates prefer to visit 媽祖 Mazu, the sea goddess.
