What a crazy 10 days it's been...so much to unpack and analyze, but overall this year was unlike anything we've seen before.

I am so proud of the work we did @taiwanplusnews and thankful for the team at @TaiwanMonitor for their unmatched research skills. I hope everyone here enjoyed our coverage!

Shout out to @MoNDefense press team for their professionalism. Thank you.

Grateful for the opportunity to sit down with @BonnieGlaser in DC to talk about how the US election could impact Taiwan. This is part of a longer interview, coming soon!

[TaiwanPlus News @taiwanplusnews]

In an exclusive interview, @BonnieGlaser warns Trump’s reelection could strain U.S.-Taiwan relations, with Taiwan paying for U.S. weapons but lacking clear protection. She highlights the need for consistent U.S. policy and global support to deter Chinese aggression.

@aadilbrar That’s wild. I’m wondering how many people still use pagers any more? Where does this company sell to other than Lebanon? Why does Hezbollah have so many?

@cjuroz @PURPLESPOON @holataipei What’s the cafe? Looks nice!

The LA 2028 Olympics will feature an interchangeable “A” designed by various local artists.

@skramerwrites Just make sure that they aren’t speaking in Taiwanese… it’s super common and means “fake” as in “my gay” (don’t be a faker).

@VKlker @jimo31351624 I’m not… both have faced incredible opposition, and both performed with grace under pressure. My original post was not about the Algerian boxer at all… y’all need to chill.

[Andrew Ryan 阮安祖 @thefeast]

Imagine having to defend your gender and nationality on top of defending the gold.

Only one person has had to do that at the Paris Olympics. Her name is Lin Yu-ting, the pride of Taiwan! ❤️

[Andrew Ryan 阮安祖 @thefeast]

@jimo31351624 I also applaud the Algerian boxer! She’s great. But Lin also faces the added pressure of people questioning her country. No need to get defensive and call people racist.

[Andrew Ryan 阮安祖 @thefeast]

@RockVica Indeed!

[TaiwanPlus News @taiwanplusnews]

Lin Yu-ting has won a gold for Team Taiwan in the Women's 57kg boxing event at the #ParisOlympics.

When, on 12 June, Elon Musk made Likes on X private (so that only a post author can see who likes their post) this seemed like a small change. But small changes in complex systems like X can have big, unpredictable effects. 1/7

[Andrew Ryan 阮安祖 @thefeast]

@foreignersinTW Anecdotally, yes! Perhaps less than 30 years ago, but it’s still a thing.

[Andrew Ryan 阮安祖 @thefeast]

@TaiwanBirding I’m here for it!!
