Pro-democracy, Taiwanese-American not Chinese.
Chinese care about optics, so Xi initiates call with Trump breaking protocol, especially in the middle of a spat with Japan, seems like a sign of weakness, not an equal to the US, despite recent elevated status in South Korea.

Taiwan won’t stand by and let Japan be bullied by China. Besides buying Japanese sushi, Taiwan is giving money to locals to spend on vacations in Japan or encouraging them to use their recent government cash handout there.

Nvidia is in a state of panic this week. It’s funny that Jensen Huang wasted so much time pretending Huawei is “nanoseconds behind” not AMD or Google.

Xi asserted that since China and the U.S. “fought side-by-side against fascism and militarism” during World War II”

Fact check, ROC (Taiwan) fought with the US not PRC(CCP).

De-risking 1.0:
China plus one

De-risking 2.0:
Keep 🇨🇳 out of the 🇺🇸,
bring 🇹🇼🇯🇵🇰🇷 into the 🇺🇸.

Olivia Nuzzi’s messy personal drama intrigues me more than her political writing. I eagerly await Ryan Lizza’s part 2 Substack to drop.

So MTG leaves in 2026, does that mean GOP just lost their majority?

My conclusion, horseshoe theory.

I’m a little confused—is there something I missed while I was at lunch? 🤯

Trump is actually happy with Mamdani after their meeting.

Had sushi for lunch today in LA,

Western media is terrible at this. China deliberately starts fights. Previous leaders have said worse.

🇺🇸Biden: “Yes, if in fact there was an unprecedented attack”
🇯🇵Ishiba: “today 🇺🇦 could be tomorrow East Asia”
🇺🇸Trump: “🇹🇼 is 🇹🇼”
🇯🇵Takaichi: “survival-threatening situation”

Jensen Huang’s claim that the end of smuggling and the CCP’s lack of interest in Nvidia GPUs are false is proven by this recent bust.

This is seriously problematic, especially with the critical cables underneath and the UK’s inability to monitor China’s embassy without US spy tools. 🤯

Why bother with FVEY when China can directly inside the UK infrastructure?

Many Taiwanese still carry the scars of PTSD from the KMT’s (Chinese refugees) 80-year rule.

When the CCP discusses Japan’s colonial period in Taiwan, the Taiwanese response is that the Japanese period was better than the Chinese (KMT) period.

Beijing’s coercive strategy has weakened its effectiveness due to frequent standoffs, which have desensitized the target countries to its tactics.

China’s actions only strengthen the target countries’ (Japan and Philippine) resolve to de-risks.

What’s with the recent bipartisan votes? I can barely recognize the US Congress anymore. 🤯

This should be a global warning, especially to Australians who believe they’ve resolved trade issues with China.

China’s coercion is relentless, and de-risking is the only viable option.

Assume China will repeat its tactics regardless of the circumstances.

Why I avoided Bitcoin, “Everything Trump Touches Dies”. Still very true today.

Olivia Nuzzi is quite a force to be reckoned with! Her blast radius is just as big as Epstein.

Wow, huge backfire at the Texas Republican for their gerrymandering. Court is forcing them to reverse the map back to 2021 drawing.

Meanwhile, California prop 50 has passed with +5 new D seats.

South Africa been one of the vocal Palestinian supporters but when it comes to accepting Palestinian refugees “not so fast, this might be shady”. lol

It’s hard to choose which 🇨🇳 state media department is worst. Both propagandists and cartoonists often miss the mark. Propagandists often have poor translations, while cartoonists often draw unfunny things.
