Liebe Chinesen, Mbappe hat recht, Mao Zedong ist ein Diktator und China ist ein totalitärer Staat. Mein Name ist Lamine Yamal und ich spiele für den FC Barcelona.

This is crazy. After making landfall in Yonaguni, Typhoon Champi sharply veered off course, destroyed herself with the mountains of Taiwan, then looped back around and basically made landfall over tiny Yonaguni AGAIN. All in the span of 12 hours.

Als @RKiesewetter in Taipeh war, habe ich mit ihm gesprochen: über Taiwan und China, die Ukraine, Russland und Deutschland. Und wie alles zusammenhängt. Morgen erscheint das Interview als neue Folge des @taiwancast.

In Taiwan war die permanente Bedrohung durch die VR China zu spüren: militärisch, mit greyzone-Aktivitäten, lawfare und durch kognitive Kriegsführung. Taiwan versucht seine militärischen Fähigkeiten aufzubauen, Resilienz zu stärken, durch Bildung und Härtung ziviler Infrastrukturen wie Lieferkettendiversifizierung und den Ausbau internationaler Partnerschaften mit like-minded Partnern insbesondere bei Halbleitern und im Bereich KI auszuweiten. Wir können viel von diesem Staat lernen, wenn es um die Widerstandskraft und die Bedeutung von Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung geht

Just embarrassing to see the EU-commission boycott a conference arranged by the EU-parliament(!), due to attendance by Taiwan's VP. Even as the topic was EU's fight against autocracy, the commission withdraws speaker and logo(!) out of fear from China! euractiv.com/news/european-c…

Tiny Palau just told Beijing no. President Surangel Whipps Jr. refused to dump Taiwan and restored Taipei as a Pacific Islands Forum development partner while hosting this week’s summit in Koror. Beijing answered with a travel warning aimed at Chinese tourists, Palau’s largest visitor market, after opposing Taiwan’s role at the Forum. Tourism has long been a pillar of this 18,000-person nation’s economy. The U.S. Embassy called it an attempt to weaponize tourism. Palau isn’t folding. Taiwan and Palau have been formal partners since 1999. Roads built with Taiwan’s help now make up about 68% of Palau’s land network. This weekend Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung stood with Whipps to open solar projects and hand over Taiwan-made electric buses. Neighbors switched recognition to Beijing. Palau is proving sovereignty isn’t for sale.
