Rep. Mike Gallagher writes to Elon Musk, following meetings in Taiwan: “I understand that SpaceX is possibly withholding broadband internet services in and around Taiwan — possibly in breach of SpaceX’s contractual obligations with the U.S. government." forbes.com/sites/davidjea…

Very important point here: How can security conferences like MSC or Shangri-la be credible if they platform CCP propagandists while blocking participation by Taiwanese officials? The exclusion and erasure of Taiwanese voices in these conferences is effectively siding with China.

Generally, @MunSecConf is understood to be a mirror of how Europe sees global security from European perspective. Looking at the MSC24 agenda, it is quite clear: A lot about Russian aggression and defense of Ukraine. Good. But on the second largest threat to Europe (China), it…

I’m sorry, I really shouldn’t be emoting on twitter. But I honest-to-god despise these fascist-shilling-Quisling-sons-of-bitches and I just need to get that off my chest. Right. I’ll go back to exercising some self-control.

Unfortunately, disinfo questioning the integrity of Taiwan’s democracy is increasingly common—and it goes back to that influencers spread disinfo and misinfo all the time, even regarding things that have no connection to China

Does he really think Hou got 33% of the vote because of "policy challenges" unmet? Seriously? That's a tribal vote that would have gone KMT even if Tsai had cured cancer and given everyone a million bucks. The real interesting votes Ko got were the last minute DPP to Ko switchers

"I think there's a real need to respond to policy challenges that led to 60% of the public voting for a presidential candidate other than Lai (Ching-te)" of the DPP, said Larry Diamond, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. focustaiwan.tw/politics/20240…

After the #TaiwanElections, I'm sharing my experience to advocate for better working conditions and mutual respect in the industry. Local journalists/fixers play a crucial role in international reporting, but sadly, not all foreign journalists show the respect they deserve.

Taiwan is among the U.S.'s top 10 trading partners & has the 5th largest cash reserves of any foreign country. It deserves a seat at the International Monetary Fund. Today the House passed my bipartisan Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act to ensure we stand with Taiwan in the IMF.

Unintended consequence of Beijing chasing out western journalists is that most has now relocated in Taiwan and they’re doing outstanding job in covering Taiwanese culture for audiences around the world.

For all those writing & commenting on Taiwan's election, some data to counter some common misconceptions. Taiwan's wages are not "stagnant." We've seen the fastest wage growth since the 1990s. Inflation has eroded the gains over the past 2+ years but prices will ease this year.

Highly recommend this crash course in Taiwanese history by Gerrit van der Wees to anyone covering Taiwan's election this weekend. Gerrit is a former Dutch diplomat who teaches Taiwanese history at George Mason University. geostrategy.org.uk/research/taiwa…

What's non traditional about Ko? A doctor. Head of a party, running for president. Obnoxious mysoginist and social conservative Straight male Blue camp These are all traditional in Taiwan politics.


Chantmatic Reposted

Ko has also raised the idea of reviving this pact intended to gut Taiwan's economy.

Hou supports reviving talks on the Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement. Ma Ying-jeou’s govt was forced to abandon it in 2014 after weeks of mass protests. Resuming CSSTA could undermine Taiwan’s economic security and give China more leverage, @zsuzsettte warns.

FDR knew it. JFK knew it. Reagan knew it. And we know it. There’s no bigger threat to freedom and democracy than appeasing tyrants like Putin. America must continue to stand with the Ukrainian people in their fight for freedom.

The greatest under-reported threat to free speech on this platform is that Elon Musk has massive business dealings with China that prevent him from promoting true things—like for example that Taiwan is an independent democratic country with a basic right to self-determination

.⁦@elonmusk, on ⁦@theallinpod⁩: “I think I understand China well…” Then proceeds to compare Taiwan to Hawaii: “an integral part of China that is arbitrarily not part of China” He’s repeating CCP talking points with no mention of US interests.

Hope @elonmusk can also ask the #CCP to open @X to its people. Perhaps he thinks banning it is a good policy, like turning off @Starlink to thwart #Ukraine’s counterstrike against #Russia. Listen up, #Taiwan is not part of the #PRC & certainly not for sale! JW

Myth: The left and right have gotten more extreme. Truth: The left has barely moved. The right has moved far, far rightward.

Worth noting that we just discovered that the gay couple at the center of the second case did not, in fact, even exist. The Supreme Court is deciding cases based on imaginary circumstances.

Supreme Court's Fourteenth Amendment: - DOES NOT allow for race-conscious measures to remedy widespread structural discrimination; - DOES allow bigots to refuse service to minority groups so long as the bigotry is sincere
