In the last several hours, there have been a significant number of posts on this platform and others misrepresenting recent PLA activity around Taiwan. Please refer to our tweet below, which unpacks why yesterday's numbers, while the highest in weeks, are not abnormal when compared to baseline PLA activity.

IMPORTANT CONTEXT: Before this article sparks sensationalism, recognize this activity is only considered "large-scale" in relation to the slower activity over the last three weeks. In fact, yesterday's reported ADIZ numbers were only the 8th most significant in 2026 alone.

S. Korean newspaper Chosun ran an English version of an analysis piece on the possible relocation of US military assets to Middle East. AI then wrongly translated the headline to suggest the US is "considering" and now so many X accounts (OSINTs & academics) are retweeting it.

Takaichi posting about Kira Kimura winning gold at the Olympics 1 hour after polls closed, instead of her hugely decisive victory in tonight's election. The LDP could win as many as 310 seats in the lower house, which would allow them to push through virtually their whole agenda

本日、ミラノ・コルティナオリンピックで、「TEAM JAPAN」金メダル獲得第１号となった、スノーボード・男子ビッグエアの木村葵来選手に、お祝いの電話をいたしました。 この種目男子日本人初の金メダルとなる快挙です。 初めてのオリンピック出場で、見事な５回転半のエアトリックと美しい着地で逆転の勝利を挙げ、国民の皆様に感動と勇気を与えてくれました。 ケガをされても、今日までたゆまぬ努力を積み重ね、大舞台で見事に実力を発揮されたことに、心から敬意を表したいと思います。 また、日本人が、日本メーカーのスノーボードを使用してもぎ取ったこのメダルに、改めて「日本人の底力」を感じ、大変誇らしく思いました。 このほか、この種目では、木俣椋真選手が最後に難度の高い大技に挑みつつ、銀メダルを獲得されました。 さらに、スキージャンプ・個人女子ノーマルヒルでは、丸山希選手が、前回大会直前の大ケガを乗り越え、堂々の銅メダルを獲得されました。 大会４日目でのこれら日本人選手の素晴らしい活躍は、後に続く選手全体にとって、これ以上ない追い風となるはずです。 引き続き、「TEAM JAPAN」の皆様が、世界中に感動と希望を届けてくれることを期待し、国民の皆様とともにエールを送り続けたいと思います。 頑張れ、「TEAM JAPAN」！

In today's @Telegraph, I offered @amendelson_ what some might consider a controversial take that recent PLA purges will affect the PRC's ability and/or willingness to prosecute a Taiwan contingency. Here is what I said: “Morale is really low. Everyone is looking over their shoulder and everyone is worried that their patronage network of getting promoted through the ranks is being questioned and scrutinised.” While some China watchers maintain that within a highly centralised system like the PLA it does not matter who sits in what seat, others, like Mr Morris, disagree, especially when it comes to Taiwan. “There’s no way it can’t affect planning for a Taiwan contingency,” he said. “He Weidong was one of the most experienced planners for a Taiwan contingency, probably in the top two or three, and now he’s gone and all his underlings are gone. That affects planning all throughout the force, there’s a trickle down effect.” Thanks to @amendelson_ for the opportunity to share my thoughts. With @wentisung and @KTristanTang. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
