One lie begets another.
Now after a two-year appealing, the British Library is telling another lie: all records related to former Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's fake dissertation have been destroyed.
Shame!!!

Tariffs can't defy comparative advantage.
America's imposing 100% tariff rate on imported chips must incur a cost to US firms. And using tariffs to force foreign chip makers to build plants on American soil must create efficiency losses here and there.

7/26, a campaign for “indiscriminate ” recalls of 28 opposing-party legislators is to be polled in Taiwan. This is a shame, as democracy ought to proceed with periodical elections, but not with non-periodical, indiscriminate recalls. DPP drives the campaign, so shameful!

On 5/17, LSE's law professor Andrew Murray entertained Tsai Ing-wen, a former Taiwan president, on the School's campus.
Prof. Murray entered LSE in 2000. How was he so sure that the woman who withdrew from LSE in Nov 1982 can earn a doctorate "extraordinarily" in March 1984?

Some thoughts on trade theory:
1. Import tariffs are not tax cuts. Instead, an import tariff is in effect equivalent to an export tax according to the Lerner Symmetry theorem.
2. The selected WTO members' applied tariff rates are largely low. Why "Reciprocal Tariffs"? /1

旅美教授翁達瑞遭名嘴趙君朔自訴誣告 法院裁准理由曝光
喜愛在網路上針砭時政、筆名「翁達瑞」的旅美教授陳時奮，與專長國際政治的名嘴趙君朔多次在網路互槓，先前趙認為陳使用多個非「翁達瑞」的帳號，在臉書留言罵人，被陳控告誹謗；趙亦反控陳誣告，結果陳獲不起訴確定，趙不服，向台北地方法院聲請自訴。法院認為，趙所指控的「Steve Cohen」「Mike Windrom」帳號，有高度可能為陳所掌控，因此裁准趙的自訴。
