The Diplomat just published my article on 228 and the backlash over the #Taiwan film Murder of the Century. So glad to see the power of the people! https://t.co/sE6fvC31ZI

I launched The Lab Beat podcast! Episodes are 2-5 minute features about the fascinating research happening at #science and #engineering labs - printing 3D mini livers, healing wounds without scar and making bone from urine: https://t.co/FZg4JHUurI

Flashback to a 2006 interview with Shih during his Million Voices protests, he told me he wanted his tombstone to say: “One Who Sacrificed”

Now that the dust has settled, read this excellent analysis by Nathan Batto on the pan-blue unity ticket plans.

tl;dr: Ma Ying-jeou may have dealt a fatal blow to both Ko Wen-je's presidential aspirations and his party's future relevance.

How is #Taiwanese food different than Chinese food? Food journalist @dearclarissa shares the stories and history behind #Taiwan's iconic dishes

A version of beef noodles at Del Taco?

Chinese coercion of Taiwan isn't invade-or-don't invade binary. A long, ungated piece on the 5 strategies Xi could use; why all are riddled with problems; and why US and allies must prepare for the one that would be most dangerous of all.

This week saw the release of the 2023 China Military Power Report (CMPR). For those not familiar, this is DoD’s congressionally-mandated unclassified update on the Chinese military. It’s an annual feast of open source data.

So, here are few thoughts (Part 1) on the report:

The core question of identity is not who others think you should be. It's who you aspire to be.

70 studies: Mental health depends more on living up to your ideals than to others' expectations.

Closing the gap between your actions and your values is a source of well-being.

Unusual + Abnormal:

Taiwan's military—for the first time—said it was monitoring Chinese ground troop movements in Dacheng Bay (Taipei Times)

[Austin H. Wang @wearytolove]

PRC just had its biggest drill near Taiwan in recent months with NO US House chair visiting TW, no new weapon deal, no TW president passing by California, AND KMT visiting the US, AND Taiwan just allowed Chinese visitors and students. WHO is the troublemaker in Taiwan strait?

[Natalie Tso @TsoNatalie]

Perhaps drivers from #Taiwan could offer lessons.😉Some #California drivers are having a hard time as L.A. installs its first back-in-only parking spots. https://t.co/t6kfbMU4hH
