The "they" in your post sounds like you're talking about "#Taiwanese 🇳🇫," but I think you specifically mean the *pan-blues*. 🤔

Uh, it wasn't a "blackout." They just reduced speeds, and only of *mobile* devices. 😡

If you call the #language "#Tâi_gí" in the headline, why use the inaccurate "Hokkien" in the body of the article? (How do you say "truck" in each of those separate languages?")

If you say "(commonly known as Taiwanese)" in the body, say #Taiwanese in the headline! 😡

"#KMT lawmaker" isn't a specific enough description of this heathen.

What if everyone were to refer to it henceforth as the Southeast Asia Sea?

"Without vital signs"? Is that how you say "dead" now? 🤦🏽♂️

Dear @taipei_times editors,
"China, which *groundlessly* claims #Taiwan 🇳🇫…"

@analytics
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. 😡

📢 Dear #Taipei_Times editors,😱 #William_Lai (#賴清德 #DPP) is the #president, not just a generic unelected "#leader."

Similarly, all sorts of people should stop calling the #country "the #island." 🤔

@Jazone
#Taiwan 🇳🇫 is not now nor has it ever been part of the #PRC 🇨🇳, so it canNOT "declare #independence *from* #China 🇨🇳." 🤔

I'm not calling them "fake media," but they're absolutely wrong about this… #CNN doesn't know shit about #Taiwan 🇳🇫. The #US' 🇺🇸 so-called "one #China 🇨🇳 policy" does NOT "recognize" that Taiwan belongs to the #PRC. It only *acknowledges* that China holds this position. I thought CNN knew better… 🤦🏽♂️

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

@africa
Call him #president. He is an *elected* leader worthy of more than that simple title.

Normalize accurate media coverage of #state_visits by #Taiwan 🇳🇫. 🤔

@georgetakei
The correct term is "#conspiracy_theory," but don't call it that either 'cuz "#TheBoyWhoCriedWolf" is crying wolf for the thousandth time. 🤔

Don't say "#Taiwan 🇳🇫 island." (That's what #Chinese 🇨🇳 want you to say.) Say "one of Taiwan's outlying islands."

Is there an editor in the house? Look at the first two words of your headline. Read them aloud if you have to. 🤦🏽♂️
