But what makes them Taiwanese, not Chinese?

Writing this column was an enlightening journey for this mainland Chinese about Taiwanese identity. https://t.co/BD0GuWNIwj

Tajikistani soldiers raised the flag on a Kyrgyzstani school.

Please make no mistake calling it properly: It’s occupation and utter aggression of Tajikistan against Kyrgyzstan, not the border clashes anymore.

[Kadyr M. Toktogulov @KadyrToktogulov]

Kyrgyzstan’s border guard service says Tajikistan is attacking Kyrgyz villages along the Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan border using mortar fire. This happens during the meeting of heads of member-states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization that’s taking place in Samarkand,Uzbekistan.

China has been manipulating the media sector in Kyrgyzstan for over 20 years. We started an investigation last year exploring PRC tactics, narratives in pursuit and their effectiveness. Today, our first report is released: https://t.co/urHfajMszI

A young victim of human trafficking from Kazakhstan is pleading for help while stuck in a Chinese-operated compound in Laos untouchable by local police.

"Targets are often mainland Chinese, most of the scammers are mainland Chinese too. But due to Covid-19 border restrictions, scam syndicates faced a “hiring crunch” and started bringing in Southeast Asians and Taiwan who could read and write Chinese. " https://t.co/SO3KlaOMSL

[China-Cambodia Monitor @ChinaCamMonitor]

Vietnamese media reports that Chinese manager of compound in 🇰🇭 where 42 Vietnamese escaped last week admits to "forced labor" practices, but claims the escapees owe the company money. https://t.co/jFnv7qZwYd

23 victims now remain imprisoned in Myanmar and Cambodia. Victims were given flight tickets and most had their passports taken, they got imprisoned in scam centers and beaten for a month before their family paid an unspecified ransom, or they will be forced to defraud others.

Taiwan authorities say almost 5,000 citizens have been recorded travelling to Cambodia and not returning.

I appreciate the kind note! Rod Stewart was lovely to work with and so were you! We had so much fun that day! Rod gave me a tour of his clothing selection, and he jumped straight into the pose. A class act. 🙏🏼
