    By using the phrase "toward #China 🇨🇳," you misleadingly make it sound like #Taiwan 🇳🇫 is the aggressor. Taiwan fired the rockets at targets 9 km offshore, but China's nearest point is 160 km away from #Taichung. 😡

    Lai's trip to #Eswatini 🇸🇿 wasn't "canceled" — it was merely *postponed. 🤔

    It's taken many years, but I've gotten my wife to use the word "#Mandarin" (#華語) in place of "#Chinese" (#中文) and to stop saying "#mainland" (#大陸)… most of the time. Teach by example. 😄

    📢 Dear #Taipei_Times editors,

    😱 If that #language is "commonly known as #Taiwanese," why do you always initially identify it as "#Hoklo"? 🤦🏽‍♂️

    💔 Love,
