Part 2 on the DPP factions, this time introducing them individually. #taiwanPolitics #taiwan taipeitimes.com/News/feat/arch…
Roughly every two years or so I write about the DPP factions, updating readers with new developments. This is more about the context, next up will be a look at the individual factions themselves: #Taiwan #TaiwanPolitics taipeitimes.com/News/feat/arch…
Fascinating: taipeitimes.com/News/feat/arch…

I was on ICRT's "Taiwan This Week" Episode 2024/03/29: Meeting old friends in China) with Gavin Phipps and @donovan_smith. Available on Podcast Networks everywhere. icrt.com.tw/podcasts_detai…
On with @seansu ! euroview.ecct.com.tw/category-insid…
Insightful and important work from @Scholars_Stage, especially considering the role Wang Huning has played for 3 successive CCP leaders and continues to play...as well as now also being the #2 on Taiwan policy under only Xi himself. scholars-stage.org/american-night…

@donovan_smith I read the column, but just wanted to be sure. Just wondering, what do you mean by "internal culture"? Different ways to express their ideas ?
@Qwerty6332 @donovan_smith You could interpret it that way, yes. I kind of agree -- but I'd also say he's the one holding back the KMT from doing just that! They're not reverting to him bc they have nothing better, he's the one preventing them from finding something better.
@laorenchanna @donovan_smith Ma remains relevant because his party has yet to find an new platform what could help them win a national election. If a moderate candidate had won the presidency, it would have shifted the Overton window, but instead what we got was Hou being made into Ma 2.0 in 2024.
@laorenchanna @donovan_smith He has really begin to resemble another famous former mayor who is falling further into the shadow world of his own delusions. Now if only Borat can trick Ma into a hotel room… ick! Never mind!
While he's not quite Taipei Area Man, I'm not sure Ma Ying-jeou is as relevant to #Taiwan as @donovan_smith seems to think he is (though Donovan's not wrong, either) laorencha.blogspot.com/2024/04/defini…
If #CCP doesn't plan on attacking #Taiwan then it should not worry. We have no interest in using the weapons from US to strike first. But when attacked, we will strike back & defend not just our land but our democracy and freedom as well! 2/2 @TaiwanSpecial
By the looks of your PLA's preparedness and #Xitler's rhetoric, we were anyway going to enter a dangerous course in the future. Better to do so fully equipped, so that we can show you some "hospitality" for your "kindness" towards us!1/2 @donovan_smith dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/artic…
@donovan_smith Does it have anything to do with different ideological lines or are they grown-up kids only fighting for a bigger share of the pie ?
值得綠營關注的文章。
Roughly every two years or so I write about the DPP factions, updating readers with new developments. This is more about the context, next up will be a look at the individual factions themselves: #Taiwan #TaiwanPolitics taipeitimes.com/News/feat/arch…
@donovan_smith Thanks for tackling this uncomfortable ‘family’ issue for us. We ‘Green Supporters’ are too close to see it objectively.
The amount of #ChinesePropaganda CCP has spewed at Western Pacific Naval Symposium (WPNS) tells you how little they care about actually working towards peace in the region. If CCP is going to use every platform to spread its malicious agenda, then better to boycott it!2/2
@donovan_smith @AlexandraH33302 @RealAndyLeeShow @TaiwanSpecial @ElbridgeColby @GregPoling Perhaps. I'm not a military expert, but some experts have noted that China's military budget lacks specific details, and the definition of "military spending" is broad and vague, making it difficult to pinpoint the actual figures. 🤔
At the same time, Taipei's indigenous weapons manufacturing plans have to be streamlined and expedited, especially in the sectors, which would be our first lines of defense. 2/3 @donovan_smith
Not a good sight to watch when much-needed weapons delivery to Taiwan gets delayed by US. While I don't intend to blame anyone for it, this event may indicate that Taiwan would benefit more from credit for weapons than delayed weapons systems!1/3 @supbrow eurasiantimes.com/taiwan-looks-t…
Moreover, anticipate heavy airstrikes if the invasion occurs & start to invest in the indigenous BMD program with the help of foreign partners that are willing to provide technology. Yes, #China would be angry, but hell, it's angry anyway! 3/3
