@TaiwanSpecial Sure. But when you say people in the US speak "American" everyone would think that’s ridiculous.

@Sim89776996 I actually did an online survey about this and the majority of respondents said they speak Taiwanese rather than Minnan

Taiwan Life: Interesting map. For Taiwan the most popular second language (after English) Taiwanese want to learn is ,,, Taiwanese? Not Japanese or Korean? Do you find this to be true? And is Taiwanese technically a “second language”? The original article with methodology: brilliantmaps.com/which-language… #languages #LanguageLearning #Taiwan #Japanese #Minnan #Taiwanese

@RMXnews Their mistake was filming it, authorities can’t have that because it causes anger in the public and threatens their power. You can steal from Europeans but don’t do it in the open. Police won’t care then.

🇮🇹 Several members of an Egyptian migrant gang have been arrested in Turin after carrying out a series of violent street robberies and posting videos of their crimes on social media. The group targeted victims in the street, approaching them suddenly and working together to overpower them. Victims were reportedly threatened with knives and pepper spray before having their valuables stolen. But victims were also targeted at home. In one instance, an 89-year-old woman, who lives with her daughter, had a gun pressed to her temple and was told, "I'll kill you, you bitch," by one of the gang who was filming the whole thing on TikTok Live. The woman's daughter told Italian media, "What do I remember about them? They were very young. North Africans. I was struck by the fact that one of them, the one holding the gun, was holding his cell phone in his other hand the whole time. It looked like he was trying to take pictures." The suspects have been charged with aggravated robbery and assault.

@j3OiyV5XPr85080 @whyyoutouzhele >干净 哪里有那种食堂？

@whyyoutouzhele 十几年之前，我经常去我们这里的高校食堂吃饭，便宜又干净。 后来门卫管的严了，设立了道闸，但步行一般也是能进去的。 再后来，病毒来了，再也进不去了。

南京大学，疑因老师进校园没有出示证件，保安一直追到课堂上 要把老师赶走。 有网友们表示：记得以前的大学校园基本都是对社会开放的，三年过后逐渐封闭。不知道是进步还是退步？ 但也有网友表示理解：骂保安当然顺嘴了。可是想想，为何这个社会上以前能通融的基本人情越来越少？因为无人愿因“给别人方便”而被责罚甚至丢了饭碗。一个无比巨大的撇清型系统，人人怕负责，所以人人要免责。搞清这个，九成九的你认为的荒谬，都可合理解释了。

@Byron_Wan The money must be really good for so many to risk their comfortable lives in the US for this. America also doesn‘t seem to have a good strategy to counter it. While everything in China has gotten extremely restrictive, doors in the West are wide open. Long term they‘re losing.

🚨 Mar 19: an indictment was unsealed charging Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw (廖益賢), Ruei-Tsang “Steven” Chang (張瑞滄), and Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun (孫廷偉), for allegedly conspiring to divert high-performance computer servers assembled in the US and integrating sophisticated US AI technology (from Nvidia) to China, in violation of US export controls laws.  Liaw, a US citizen, and Sun, a citizen of Taiwan, were arrested today and will be presented in the Northern District of California. Chang, a citizen of Taiwan, remains a fugitive. Liaw is a co-founder, board member, and Senior Vice President of Business Development of Super Micro Computer, a US-based manufacturer that designs and builds high-performance computer servers for AI and cloud computing applications including servers that integrate AI GPUs.  Chang is a general manager in Super Micro’s Taiwan office.  Sun is a third-party broker and “fixer” who has worked with Liaw, Chang, and others to divert US-export controlled technology to China. Together, the defendants and others conspired to systematically divert Super Micro’s servers with Nvidia GPUs to China without a license to do so from 🇺🇸 Department of Commerce. The scheme operated as follows. Liaw and Chang, who worked closely with third-party brokers with customers based in China, directed certain executives of a company based in Southeast Asia (“Company-1”) to place purchase orders with Super Micro for servers with certain GPUs, purportedly for Company-1.  Those servers were often assembled in the US and shipped to Super Micro’s facilities in Taiwan, then delivered to Company-1 elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Company-1, in consultation with the defendants, then used a shipping and logistics company to repackage Super Micro’s servers and place them in unmarked boxes to conceal their content prior to shipping them to their final destinations in China.  To ensure that these server allocations were approved internally at Super Micro, the defendants and executives at Company-1 prepared false documents and records, and transmitted false communications, purporting to show that Company-1 was the end user of the servers. At the defendants’ direction, between 2024 and 2025, Company-1 purchased ~$2.5B worth of servers from Super Micro, many of which were assembled in the US. The defendants’ scheme became more brazen over time and resulted in massive quantities of servers with controlled US AI technology being sent to China.  Between late April 2025 and mid-May 2025 alone, at least ~$510 million worth of Super Micro’s servers, assembled in the US, were diverted to China in violation of US export control laws as part of the defendants’ scheme. The defendants and their co-conspirators took extensive measures to conceal their scheme.  As just one example, to deceive Super Micro’s compliance team, responsible for ensuring adherence to US export control laws, the defendants staged thousands of “dummy” servers — non-working, physical replicas of Super Micro’s servers — for inspection at the locations where Company-1 was purportedly storing the servers it had purchased from Super Micro. However, the actual servers purchased by Company-1 from Super Micro had already been unlawfully shipped to China. 1/2 justice.gov/opa/pr/three-c… ir.supermicro.com/news/news-deta… storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

@HorEmperor @Sargon_of_Akkad @KeithWoodsYT Almost certainly state-sponsored. All the Westerners in the comments assume he‘s stupid, meanwhile these people are on your social media indoctrinating your kids. This video in Chinese would not be allowed on Douyin.

@Sargon_of_Akkad @KeithWoodsYT He's a Chinese pseudo-academic who lives in Canada and posts ridiculous anti-American/pro-Chinese propaganda on social media.

This must go crazy to a classroom of 10 year olds

@Kombo787 @WarrenVsCCP Being gay itself isn‘t illegal, no.

@WarrenVsCCP Being Gay and Lesbian is illegal in China, am I right?

LOL, 😂😂😂 Broke Back Mountain - China Edition A woman in China 🇨🇳 suspected her husband of cheating. She secretly followed him and discovered that his affair was with a man. She completely broke down on the spot and knocked two grown men to the ground!

@Marcus_Nafo @nexta_tv Because folks like you are often too uneducated to understand: That‘s your money if you work and pay tax. You‘re paying for foreign governments you hate. Due to the EU system you love so much. Your people’s money didn‘t go to Hungary prior to the formation of the union.

🤡 Orban named 2 reasons why Hungary isn’t leaving the EU First — Hungary has always belonged to the West culturally, philosophically, and historically. Second — economic. After World War I, Hungary lost territories and now lacks energy and raw material sources. However, the country stood strong and now needs European markets. The Prime Minister shared his thoughts in an interview with GB News. 🔻Earlier, Orban stated that Hungary isn’t leaving the EU, but wants to "transform" it.

@eurochallenges It‘s funny because that’s basically the response you guys have when any self created problem becomes too big to ignore.

@eurochallenges "This was caused by foreigners"

We absolutely are heading for an energy crisis in Europe. How bad and how long it will be are the real questions. This was mostly caused by the American unnecessary and badly planned attack on Iran, and Europe’s incapacity to assert its strategic interests against the US.

@xFFFFFFFFFFFFF @eurochallenges Interesting, I live in Asia and my gas is so cheap I sometimes wonder if the meter is measuring correctly. Then again, it‘s in a country that does actual long term planning, has a proper energy policy and doesn‘t destroy its own supply.

@eurochallenges Not just in Europe, many Asian countries are also heavily hit.

@FirstClassDuck @GearoidReidy Just look at the keys, it can do much less than a free scientific calculator app on your phone. Absolutely useless.

@GearoidReidy But what does it do for 99000 JPY to justify the cost beyond being a collector's item?

If you like calculating numbers -- and I mean, really calculating them -- consider this new ulta-premium calculator from Casio, which retails for a cool 99,000 yen ($620). Only 650 will be made.

@potaufan @levelsio In the history of monkery in Asia there’s never been an Asian monk with that hairstyle. I find it amazing how someone can travel as much and learn absolutely nothing. Starring at his devices all day, probably.

@levelsio An Asian monk is usually bald. You meant a Christian monk?

Me when I go to the barber in Singapore and I leave looking like an Asian monk

@hyrumjb3 @venturetwins Her company is invested in it so… On a related note I tried to find a specific video on YouTube yesterday and had to give up after scrolling through AI trash for 5 minutes. I know it‘s still there, but the search is useless already for certain keywords. Flooded with slop.

@venturetwins that's not the normal person's response to getting overrun with ai content

AI videos have replaced every single influencer on my IG feed and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Exceptional content. What a massive improvement! (from themonksbrush_thangka)

@BowTiedMara Argentina needs the kind of immigrant who won‘t accept getting robbed by slum dwellers at all. I‘m sorry about the war but that has nothing to do with Argentines, their own dictator is at fault.

🇷🇺 A Russian woman explains why she misses living in Argentina. "Here I live in fear because a missile could hit me at any moment, there at most a slum dweller might rob you." 😂 This is the kind of immigration Argentina needs.

@JerrBearr @catechumen_13 @LevineJonathan @NYCMayor Are you implying transgender surgery is comparable to genital mutilation for religious reasons? And it‘s ok for left wingers to do it because right wingers do it too.

@catechumen_13 @LevineJonathan @NYCMayor Did you circumcise your children? Are you circumcised? Does that make you a left winger who mutilates children? But I’m just not sure what that has to do with what she said. Should we also bring up right wingers who are pedophiles?

Hey @NYCMayor — what does your wife mean by "fgts" here?

@paol_taj @GramyUSiebie @NoContextHumans Because you tried to deceive people about the sea level rise many in the comments don‘t believe you about the sargassum either. Perfect example for how the climate change scam has led to a massive drop in people caring about real environmental problems.

@GramyUSiebie @NoContextHumans Yeah, but it’s the same place, and you can see one has a beautiful, clear ocean while the other is covered in what looks like shit…

The rise in sea level over the years due to climate change.

@Barrennftgame @MichaelAArouet I used to think so until I lived there and realized many Europeans are retarded. Many of the voters are genuine morons.

@MichaelAArouet It is done by design, clearly someone doesn’t like Europe

Socialists are a strange species, not only in Denmark. Most people who would be forced to pay more in taxes than they earn would simply emigrate, taking countless jobs with them. Tax revenues would, as always, decline. Why do socialists keep making the same mistakes?

@europa Children regularly suffer extreme abuse under state "care". Taking children from parents must be limited to cases where the state can prove beyond doubt the risk of abuse by the parents would be even worse.

🇸🇪 Christian parents lose final appeal after Sweden seized their daughters The case began in 2022 following an argument over makeup and a phone, which led to a false abuse claim—later withdrawn with no evidence found. Despite being cleared and deemed fit to parent, authorities labelled the family “religious extremists” for frequent church attendance and refused to return the children. Europe’s top human rights court has now rejected the case, ending all appeals. The girls remain in state care. Follow: @europa
