Le destin de la majorité DPP au parlement se jouera en grande partie dans la région centrale de Taiwan, où les écarts entre candidats sont souvent serrés. Dans ce contexte, la déclaration d'un ancien responsable KMT de Miaoli en faveur du DPP est significative.

‘Frozen Garlic!’ Taiwan Likes Its Democracy Loud and Proud
At the island’s election rallies, warming up the crowd for candidates is crucial. “You have to light a fire in their hearts,” one host says.

Europe, especially its media and leaders, need to urgently unlearn false images and narratives about Taiwan influenced by both the CCP and the KMT in the old days, as well as the EU's own ignorance and complacency. Taiwan's and Europe's democratic values have never been so closely related!
Un dossier fait d'une intéressante sélection d'articles mais avec titre complètement "has been" en couverture, c'est possible.
On pensait être débarrassés de "l'autre Chine" et de "l'île rebelle", visiblement elles rôdent encore dans les rédactions.

J’ai assisté hier soir à Taipei au meeting du DPP (150.000 participants selon les organisateurs, sans doute un peu moins mais le boulevard Ketagalan était bondé avec une très grande énergie dans le public). Quelques remarques dans les posts à suivre.

Can Europe have this three-layered cake and eat it too?

1) embrace green, low-carbon technologies
2) end damaging dependencies on Chinese inputs
3) preserve industrial jobs

Suomen sosiaaliturva on jo nyt selvästi muista Pohjoismaista jäljessä, mutta myös OECD-maiden keskiarvon alle. Hallitus heikentää sosiaaliturvaa entisestään, vaikka pohjoismainen esimerkki todellisuudessa edellyttäisi sen vahvistamista.

To enhance the EU's strategic autonomy/economic security via a more granular risks management, the EU should bolster its understanding of China by better coordinating China-related research conducted within the union. See EU-funded projects like ReConnect, China Horizons, and the new EuroHub4Sino

European Union needs to get to know and understand China on its own terms not through the lens of other external sources but from its own European perspective
