Americans are turning on Jews.


Saying “first they came for communists” AFTER they already came for immigrants, the disabled, Latinos, and Black people, as recently as two weeks ago??? They’re never beating the allegations.


Why China’s defence chief may skip the Shangri-La Dialogue again straitstimes.com/opinion/why-be…

It’s deeply satisfying to watch the narratives pushed by Mike Pompeo and Victoria Nuland completely unravel the moment they’re forced to face the hard facts laid out by Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer. Their talking points immediately collapse under scrutiny because their bullshit rhetoric can not survive contact with reality.


The Chinese Communist Party and its litany of crimes is now obscuring the sunlight, such is the mounting pile of books on my #China bookcase - and that is just one bookcase. I have another book case partially dedicated to China books and partially to #NorthKorea, plus an entire bookcase devoted to #Myanmar and East Timor books, plus multiple other bookcases on other topics. I need to get some built-in bookcases soon. But that's the effect of the #CCP - it brings darkness wherever it goes! #FreeChina

One of the silliest assumptions on twitter being spread about Taiwan is that if China invades, Taiwanese will fight guerilla warfare from the mountains. This is unrealistic since most Taiwanese live in cities and enjoy a semi-first-world lifestyle. Back in 1895, when the Japanese invaded, Taiwan quickly surrendered, with only the minority Han Hakka and indigenous people fighting back. The majority Han Hoklos, who made up about 75% of Taiwan's population and lived in cities, towns and plains, mainly refrained from fighting. The hardier Hakkas and indigenous who mainly lived in rural, remote and mountainous areas, resisted stoutly though futilely. Fast forward to the modern day where the DPP is mainly supported by Hoklos (still the majority at over 65%) while the Hakkas and indigenous support the KMT. This is an ironic situation where the people who are the most vocal about wanting to stand up against China and "protect" Taiwan are the ones whose forebears did nothing of the sort when a foreign invaded arrived. If the Hoklos didn't fight back in 1895, what makes anyone think they would fight in the 21st century? taipeitimes.com/News/feat/arch…











Singapore's most senior diplomat just stood on Chinese soil and told the Chinese state directly: we cooperate with you because of shared interests, not because of shared blood. That sentence is more significant than it sounds. Lee Hsien Loong, Singapore's former Prime Minister and current Senior Minister, completed a five-day visit to China last week, meeting officials in Guangxi and Shanghai. Speaking to Singapore media on May 22, he was direct: "We are a Chinese-majority country, but we are a multiracial society. We are a separate country with separate sovereignty from China." He added that Singapore's ties with China are grounded in mutual benefit, not shared ethnicity or ancestry. This is a deliberate and pointed statement. The CCP has spent decades promoting the idea that ethnic Chinese people around the world, regardless of citizenship, share a special bond with the Chinese motherland. The concept of 同宗同源, meaning "same ancestry, same roots," is embedded in Chinese state rhetoric aimed at diaspora communities across Southeast Asia, including Singapore's Chinese majority. United Front Work Department operations, diaspora engagement programs, and state media all lean on this framing to cultivate affinity, influence, and loyalty among overseas Chinese populations. Lee Hsien Loong said that is not the basis of Singapore's relationship with China. Singapore cooperates with Beijing because it serves Singapore's interests. Full stop. The moment those interests diverge, the shared ethnicity changes nothing. Singapore has maintained this position since Lee Kuan Yew built the country. It rejects the "Third China" label. It maintains strong ties with the United States, Japan, and the West while trading extensively with Beijing. It is ethnically Chinese-majority and fiercely sovereign. That combination makes it a direct challenge to the CCP's narrative that Chinese ethnicity implies Chinese political alignment. Lee said it in Shanghai. In front of Chinese media. After visiting Chinese officials. The message was intentional and the audience was chosen carefully. #Singapore #China #CCP #LeeHsienLoong #Sovereignty #Geopolitics #SoutheastAsia #UnitedFront #Diaspora #ASEAN
