It appears that China’s consul-general in Osaka threatened Japan’s prime minister Takaichi in a now-deleted tweet: “If you go sticking that filthy neck where it doesn’t belong, it’s gonna get sliced right off. You ready for that?”

🇨🇳❄️ In BBC's feature on China’s #PolarSilkRoad, I noted how the “China optimism” in Central Eastern Europe once symbolized by the #ChinaEuropeRailway has faded.
Since the onset of full-scale invasion in Ukraine, CEE govts have turned from engagement to strategic caution.

James Millward: "One of the things about history in China is that it's very, very often, for thousands of years, been controlled by the state. And I really don't want to see our own history be Tiananmenized the way that the Chinese Communist Party tries to censor its own past."

Regarded by many in Taiwan as a ruthless dictator, Chiang Kai-shek is worshipped at Kaohsiung's 蔣公報恩觀 temple, founded by the local community of residents evacuated to Taiwan by Chiang's troops from Dachen Island. Originally an air-raid shelter, it was used as a mourning hall after CKS's death.
