If China takes Taiwan and US can no longer act as a counterweight to China, China will create a sphere of influence in Asia in its image, and Asian countries will lose their autonomy. This is why it's so important to prevent Taiwan's fall, and guard against China's expansionism.

China says several dozen countries support its military drills to encircle and threaten Taiwan. China uses brute force and appeals to authoritarian leaders to try to make its false claim over Taiwan real, because it has no legitimate claim. China's actions only causes it to lose credibility.

Previously I've focused on writing about Taiwan's wages, but I've recently also commented on China's threats and Taiwan's sovereignty. I created a short comic using Gemini to explain how Taiwan's wage issues are linked to Taiwan's sovereignty in my perception, and why caring about them is important.

過去我主要專注於撰寫關於台灣薪資議題的文章，但最近我也開始針對中國威脅與台灣主權發表評論。
或許有人會好奇為什麼，所以我利用 Gemini 製作了一則短篇漫畫，來解釋在我看來，台灣的薪資議題是如何與主權息息相關，以及為什麼關注這些議題至關重要。

China just announced military drills today to encircle Taiwan. On TikTok, China sells pretty images of its cities to convince people globally of its development. But in reality, China is rehearsing conducting a blockade around Taiwan to use it as a pretext to take over Taiwan.

China launched the 'Justice Mission' military drills today to encircle and threaten Taiwan. But Taiwan has its own 'Justice League' to defend Taiwan from China's threats! (I created these posters using Gemini.)
中國今天發起了「正義使命」軍事演習，企圖包圍並威脅台灣。但台灣也有屬於自己的「正義聯盟」來抵禦中國的威脅，守護台灣！（這些海報是我用 Gemini 製作的。）

面對台灣當前的政治氛圍，我們真的急需讓情緒降溫，開始互相傾聽。
現在，不同立場間的對話往往充滿了火藥味，這讓我們更難靜下心來聽見對方的聲音。我利用 Gemini 創作了這兩篇漫畫，是希望能提醒我們自己：傾聽彼此的觀點有多麼重要。
如果我們持續內鬥，只會讓中共網軍有機可乘，利用我們的語言來攻擊彼此、製造不信任，進而分化並削弱台灣。我們真的需要找到方法去同理彼此的立場，並尋求共識，這樣才能共同強化台灣的韌性，並改善大家的生活。

Taiwan's opposition parties are calling President Lai Ching-te a dictator. I created a short comic to explain why they are doing so. Of note, the opposition parties are pro-China and have been acting on China's behalf, to try to pass chaotic laws, in order to destabilize Taiwan.

I spoke to TaiwanPlus about why Taiwan's income inequality is high, its impact on society & politics & the need to raise minimum wage faster—because of the risk that disenfranchisement among a segment of voters can lead to distrust with government & weaken Taiwan's defense.

A quick note that while China rejects the San Francisco Peace Treaty, it however considers the Cairo Declaration and Potsdam Proclamation to be valid (against international norms), and China uses them to claim Taiwan (and Okinawa, if it wants). More on the specific text in this infographic below: 👇

China wants to sign a 'peace treaty' in order to get Taiwan to 'surrender' to China, so that China can claim to be the successor to ROC, and take Taiwan. ROC was the government in China before moving to Taiwan, and China desperately wants the successorship.

China is demanding Japan acknowledge the Cairo/Potsdam Declarations, but these documents not only allow China to use force against Taiwan, but also on Japan.
This is why a Taiwan contingency is a Japan contingency.

Thing about pro-CCP people is they try to persuade you by preying on what they think are your fears, but when you insist on using logic, it falls apart and they then resort to calling you names or labeling you as evasive or illogical, even as it is they who display these traits.

Compared with economically similar countries, Taiwan's wages are as low as half of theirs even though profits and housing prices are highest, or even twice as high. Their minimum wages have reached NT$45,000 but this is Taiwan's median wage and minimum wage is lower than NT$30,000.
Taiwan's GDP per capita will surpass US$40,000 next year and its GDP per capita and cost of living is also similar to Spain, Slovenia and Japan today. But how do Taiwan's wages at the low and middle-income compare—I explore the data in this newest article.
