What the China-proxy KMT party is trying to do in Taiwan is similar to what Russia is trying to do in Georgia, Romania and other European countries, to try to make use of our democratic system against us, to install a puppet regime and destroy Taiwan's freedoms. Please support!

He is. He has his own satellites and noone to regulate what's on them. He also communicates with heads of state on whims and can't be trusted as a reliable partner of democratic governments.

I’d like him be classed as a terrorist (for stoking the riots among other things) and have him and all his companies banned from the uk. That would be so sweet!

Why? The UN was good with the atrocities russia perpetrated in Ukraine, the torture of prisoners and the Ukrainian poplation in the occupied territories, the human safari on the citizens of Khersson, the deliberate destruction of hospitals and eco terrorism. Why is Igor Kirillov so dear to them?

Funny, I don't recall hearing him or the UN call for restraint after the Russian bombings of civilians, the Russians using banned chemical weapons on the front, the Russians destroying the Dnipro dam, the Russians firing an "experimental" hypersonic missile into civilian areas of Ukraine, etc.

In today’s instalment of The Kindness of Taiwanese Strangers, an aboriginal guy on his scooter passed us as we were heading uphill. 20 minutes later, he returned with energy drinks and snacks because he was worried that we were heading somewhere with no places to resupply.
