  1. UN Institutions Face Test on Taiwan's Status.

    As the UN General Assembly convenes, a pressing question looms: will institutions like the UN assert their authority to interpret their own rules, or will external forces dictate the terms? The fate of Taiwan's status hangs in the balance, tied to the interpretation of Resolution 2758.

  2. Review of the book Green Party Taiwan: The First Thirty Years (綠黨在台灣:第一個三十年)

    "...the book shows the dynamics of third-party politics in Taiwan among a progressive third party, as well as how the Green Party has sought to carve out a place for itself amidst the many political changes–inclusive of democratization–that Taiwan has seen in past decades, which have created but also foreclosed political openings for third parties."

  8. Als Chinese literatuur vaak episodisch is en niet, zoals veel westerse literatuur, plotgedreven, hoe werkt dat dan bij een detective?

  9. 🇸🇧 “The biggest no-show was Matthew Wale, the Solomon Islands’ prime minister since mid-May. The outgoing chair of the PIF [Pacific Islands Forum], Mr Wale has been lobbying the forum to agree on a new treaty that would make it tougher for China to establish a military or police presence in PIF countries. But on the eve of the summit, three members of his cabinet resigned and filed a motion of no-confidence against him. Mr Wale rushed back to quell the parliamentary revolt. That left his proposed treaty without a champion in Palau.

    🇵🇼 Surangel Whipps, Palau’s president and a longtime critic of China’s attempts to buy influence in strategically important Pacific island states, told reporters that, weeks earlier, China had threatened unnamed consequences if Palau invited Taiwan.”

    Each district is colored only by its most spoken primary language.
