Taiwan is more than chips and tensions with China. Its democracy deserves attention too. At Taiwan Corner, three experts explored November’s local elections and how they could shape Taiwan’s political future. The event was supported by Taiwan Foundation for Democracy. @brianhioe @donovan_smith @DafyddFell

Nice scoop, which raises a lot of alarming questions about defense procurement in Taiwan

With cultural funding also something that the KMT wants to cut--including funding for TaiwanPlus--I'm amused how the KMT wants Taiwan to have no culture, nor defense, no capacity for external outreach, only caning

Well, you don’t need a party insider to tell you that. Which is why the people trying to convince you that all Taiwan love Cheng are hilarious and do not even reflect views in the KMT

Taiwan needs greater international visibility including through cultural promotion. Yet as China pressures Taiwan on multiple fronts, the KMT wants to cut the Ministry of Culture’s budget. Objectively, this is the wrong time to weaken Taiwan’s voice abroad.

China is the problem of stability: "The fundamental problem of “gray zoning” by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is that it is, by definition, the constant introduction of instability into stability." Great read by @michaelturton taipeitimes.com/News/feat/ar…

KMT with another performative referendum on nuclear power. They can do what they want since they control the legislature, could easily pass nuke legislation. The referendum is a distraction.

Interesting contrast between the KMT and DPP candidates in Kaohsiung, especially in how they speak to young people. The DPP comes across as more abstract and holistic, while the KMT is more concrete, including on incentives for younger voters. In politics, specificity can be a real strength.

Motion to condemn the ethnic unity law raised by the DPP legislative caucus again blocked by the KMT and TPP. The article notes the condemnations of the law in the US, Japan, and Europe already

Taiwan Go Go Alliance may become an important force in Taiwan’s upcoming elections by offering a real, more left-leaning alternative to the existing parties. With the New Power Party included, this is worth watching. A must read by @donovan_smith taipeitimes.com/News/feat/ar…

"On June 11, Beijing designated the Taiwan Strait and several areas around Taiwan to be “coastal waters.”

Yes, one of Taiwan's important challenges. Birthrate and associated policies and cultural issues. taiwannews.com.tw/news/63872…

Giving Taiwanese Chinese nationality as in Denmark is also counterproductive. Pressure is not only from China but also from a democratic ally with high democratic values.

Glad for at have en artikel om Taiwans historie og vej til demokrati i historielæreforeningen (@ForumHistoricus) blad Noter. Artiklen følger Taiwan fra 1600-tallet til i dag og giver et overblik over de vigtigste historiske begivenheder. Og fortæller om vejen til Taiwans demokrati. historielaerer.dk/noter-249-…

Great read about the upcoming local elections in Taiwan. Challenges for both KMT and DPP - read about New Taipei City and Kaohsiung
With all the geopolitical stress, looking in on the local elections is a bit of relief:

Easier for Chinese nationals to get elected in Taiwan? Whatever the details, the direction suggested by the KMT is simply wrong for any country not only considering the threats from China, but from a basic national perspective. KMT wants to be in government?
