Japan's ANN asked Francis Fukuyama what to expect from Trump's second term:
•the US acting like a bully in foreign relations
•a weakening of American power from internal political polarization
•Trump might not defend Taiwan from Chinese invasion

Taiwan is strong and getting stronger by the day.
The U.S. would be smart to strengthen our relationship with them economically, diplomatically, and militarily.
Gender verification in sports ensures fair competition in single-sex events. Methods have evolved from physical exams and chromosome tests to hormone testing. Chromosome tests, which identify XX or XY patterns, proved unreliable due to biological variations and did not consistently correlate with athletic performance, leading to their abandonment by sports organizations.
In contrast, testosterone tests focus on hormone levels, which are directly linked to athletic ability. Testosterone significantly impacts muscle mass, strength, and endurance, providing a more accurate measure of performance potential. Unlike chromosome tests, testosterone levels are quantifiable and can be monitored, offering a practical approach to maintaining competitive balance.
With testosterone levels differing up to 15 times between men and women, it is a crucial indicator for categorizing athletes. Testosterone testing ensures fairness by addressing a key biological factor affecting athletic performance, making it a superior method for maintaining equal competition compared to chromosome testing.
Paula, as a Taiwanese American, you should have access to more accurate sources of information to understand the truth. Lin Yu-Ting was born female and has passed numerous gender tests, including the testosterone test for Olympic eligibility. There is no evidence that she has XY chromosomes. The IBA's baseless accusation was deemed illegitimate by the IOC. Please help spread the truth and combat misinformation!
Her triumph in the ring is not just a testament to her unparalleled skill and dedication as a boxer, but also a powerful vindication of her character. Despite the unjust and baseless accusations questioning her gender eligibility, she has risen above the slander with grace and strength. We celebrate not just her win, but the unwavering spirit she embodies. #BoxingQueenLinYuTing
Sharron, I respect your decorated career as an athlete and I agree with you that no male should be included in female sports. But Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-Ting was born female and has passed numerous gender tests, including the testosterone test for Olympic eligibility. The IBA's unfounded accusation was refuted by the IOC. There is no evidence she has XY chromosomes. Yu-Ting should be celebrated as a female athlete as well.
Imagine having years of dedication and hardwork stripped away due to a baseless accusation about your gender. Lin Yu-Ting, born female, has passed numerous gender tests, including the testosterone test for Olympic eligibility. There is no evidence she has XY chromosomes and the IBA's accusation was refuted by the IOC. Yu-Ting fought fairly and should be celebrated as a female athlete.
