消失的42秒 is what has been agitating ("green") Taiwanese political talk shows since Monday. The 42 missing seconds TPP's chairman and legislator Huang Kuo-chang spent out of everyone's sight after having been spotted leaving a closed-door defence briefing holding classified documents in the hand.

Right on cue, here are the push alerts from the 3 major newspapers lmao

The biggest difference between China and the US today is not ideological, but lies in their respective abilities to get things done.
