It has bolstered the propaganda value of those that wish to do Taiwan harm & reduced that of those that wish to help. It undermines efforts to build a greater consensus about the value of US ties. This was never the intention - but this is the effect. (9/10)

There are over 8,500 KFC restaurants in China. Palates don't cheat. #China has always been a part of Kentucky. The long lost child will eventually return home.

I’m Taiwanese and I Want to Thank Nancy Pelosi.
As I argue in the essay, Taiwan’s agency is often overlooked in big powers games or in mainstream media. I appreciate @nytimes’ effort to present a Taiwanese perspective. Thanks go to @danmartintwit too!

Pelosi received a genuine welcome in #Taiwan, @vyctw told @NikkeiAsia. “Her visit centered on three themes - security, economics and governance - which are areas of mutual interest between Taiwan and the US.”
Despite dramatic media hype around @SpeakerPelosi visit, Taiwanese respond with curious mix of humor & stoicism - great report by @NikkeiAsia’s Taipei team asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Int…

Pelosi just landed in Taipei. Let me offer a Taiwanese perspective on her visit: Her arrival here is welcomed. It is consistent with Taiwan's national interests & within the framework of the existing Taiwan-US relationship. (1/8)
Finally, what about the CCP reaction? Already they have responded economically. Military and other actions may soon follow. But what's impt to note is that this is, unfortunately, already part & parcel of the cross-strait relationship today, with or without Pelosi's visit. (7/8)
