This is key point. All the useful idiots talking about PRC red lines don't get that other countries have them too.

This isn’t just a ‘war of words’ between China and Japan. It’s Japan officially acknowledging that Taiwan = Tokyo’s red-line, and China testing it.

Good explainer on a "crisis" in China-Japan relations that has had bizarrely little coverage in Australia.

"Crisis" in quotes because obviously Beijing is using the Japanese PM's remarks as a pretext to test her government early in its term.

"But Taiwan is a legacy from the Chinese civil war, a final bastion of the Nationalists that lost the mainland to the communists."

Please, @jamesoaten.bsky.social, Taiwan was a Japanese colonial territory from 1895, the end of the Qing, to 1945.

Japan's PM said the quiet part out loud and unleashed Beijing's fury
China was already wary about Japan's new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, a renowned Beijing hawk, before she weighed in on one of its most sensitive issues: Taiwan. Now it's unleashing economic pain.

I Børsen kommer professor Emeritus Bertil Heurlin med korrektion nemlig at det er "internationalt anerkendt, at Taiwan er en del af Kina. Tolkningen af dette Kina er flertydig". Det er også forkert. Minder om 1992 konsensus som ikke er anerkendt #dkmedier

鄭麗文喊「普廷不是獨裁者」德國之聲記者當場傻眼：有閱讀國際新聞？ - 政治 - 自由時報電子報
國民黨主席當選人鄭麗文近日接受「德國之聲」專訪，與採訪記者展開一段激烈交鋒。鄭堅稱，俄羅斯總統普廷並非獨裁者，而是「民主選出來的領袖」；主持人則當場直呼，鄭開啟了一個新的國際理論，並反問「國際新聞你有在閱讀嗎？」談及俄烏戰爭議題，記者鄒宗翰指出，歐洲人已經認清，若戰爭爆發面對獨裁者時，能夠決定的是獨裁者本人、而非其他民主政權。鄭麗文立即糾正說，「普廷並不是獨裁者，他是民主選出來的領袖。」

Seriously? For the love of all that is holy in the heavens and on the earth, western media MUST stop giving PRC speakers access. Western media does not have similar access to PRC media. Further, already enough $hills and campists occupying printed space

Cheng will be the next KMT chair! Accusations of being China-backed and hardline statements on cross-strait relations evidently did not prevent the KMT electorate from voting for Cheng. Will Cheng push the KMT in a more pro-unification direction?
