CCP just praised KMT and TPP for cutting budgets that also provide subsidies for Taiwan's households & youths for their livelihood needs (subsidies for housing, rental, etc). KMT/TPP are clearly basically CCP-proxies doing CCP's work to destabilize Taiwan.

I'm going to be so broken hearted if Taiwan doesn't get to keep their democracy. Part of it has been our fault at higher government levels for never saying "Taiwan is a country" because it IS.

Taiwan is a marvellous dynamic country and to see it come under communist rule would be a disaster. I am ashamed that so many so called democracies refuse to accept Taiwan as its own entity.

The Taiwanese woman’s soccer team were playing in Melbourne and apparently you are not allowed to acknowledge that Taiwan is a country.

28/28 The war over Taiwan and the South China Sea can be avoided if we provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs to successfully defend its country.
We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow.
