India will soon get the results of the 2024 vote -@Sriparnapathak skillfully broke down some of the key issues and gave clarity to some of the more complicated nuances of these elections including impact on foreign policy and what it means for Taiwan
In this fantastic episode on India’s historic elections, I speak to @divya_go on the implications of the outcomes for Indian foreign policy, and for India-Taiwan relations in particular.
If this is accurate - #Taiwan get ready for a rocky year! #TaiwanEarthquake
This UDN report states that the Central Weather Administration believes that there may be aftershocks for half a year to a year

Now this is interesting #artificalintelligence
It's a bad time to be a dictator. The rise of #AI poses threats and opportunities for various people, but one thing's for sure: it can't be intimidated or terrorized.
Full conversation with @ianbremmer available on bit.ly/BremmerYNH.

Well that's recognition! I hope FoxConn understands its responsibility in upholding the rights of its workers and treating them with dignity and respect
Fantastic and huge. Well played @narendramodi and well done. 👏
An important signal that #Taiwan is a key relationship! Must remember this when it seems we are not making enough public noise about elections or other events!
Why is this allowed to happen? There is nowhere safe for children to go in Gaza aje.io/l9e1fh via @AJEnglish

Imagine if this were your child #CeasefireForGazaNOW
An Israel air attack that killed toddler Melissa Joudah's family in Gaza also fractured her spine and paralysed her from the chest down aje.io/8hrw2n

Now this is getting ridiculous!

Doing what they can to stop war and Israel's #WarCrimesinGaza
“It's up to ordinary people to stop it. We did it in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, and we can do it again.”
From Australia to Belgium and Colombia to Spain, workers are refusing to handle or transport Israel’s war equipment amid Israeli attacks on Gaza.

It was clear to all of us covering #HongKong over the past few years- the U.S. blatantly promised support and security for Hong Kong's young democracy activists - then hung them out to dry. U.S. refused to help Joshua Wong flee Hong Kong asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Ho… via @NikkeiAsia

What happens once they are arrested? #China
"The number of people fleeing #China to seek asylum in the United States has spiked sharply in recent weeks, with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol reporting more than 4,000 arrests of Chinese nationals in September, a rise of 70% from the previous month." rfa.org/english/news/china/r…

Finally some positive news!
Big news - Australia’s high court has overturned a 20yo ruling that the govt had used to legally justify detaining people - including stateless asylum seekers - *indefinitely* without any charge. Almost 100 people could be released as a result. @Paul_Karp theguardian.com/australia-ne…

China's 'sharp power projection' just one of the fascinating angles we explored with @DonMcLainGill95 - Great to have you on @taiwanplusnews
Had a great discussion with @divya_go on @taiwanplusnews regarding Manila's foreign policy and its position in the WPS amidst China's increasing belligerence.

Imagine if it were your child
52,000 pregnant women and over 30,000 babies under six months of age are currently drinking brackish or contaminated water in Gaza, according to an internal U.S. State Department document's assessment

It's not just numbers, it's people like you and I whose lives are being torn apart and devastated by Israel's onslaught

He's made a buffoon of himself and been let go from so many channels, makes me wonder why Piers Morgan is still allowed to get any airtime
If there is one, just one interview you need to watch today, to understand the inhumane atrocities inflicted on #Gaza then watch Egyptian comedian @Byoussef speaking to @piersmorgan. He’s the @jonstewart of Egypt and he’d win any debate against Ben Shapiro

The right to protest. One of the most fundamental human rights. But in Germany - a country that considers itself to be open, free and fair - it seems you have the right to protest only if the state supports your cause. So then, do you have the right to protest?
"I should be allowed to protest. I should be allowed to mourn my people." - @MajedAbusalama
From Berlin to Frankfurt, people are defying bans on protests for Palestine in Germany and risking arrest to call for an end to Israel's attacks on Gaza.
