👋 Join me in giving a big hand to @NextGenTaiwan Non-Resident Fellow @zsuzsettte for her contribution to the widely-discussed @LePoint article "Who Will Dominate the World?"
I deeply appreciate Dr. Ferenczy's commitment to promoting #Taiwan's within the #EU.
🎩Chapeau bas!
“Taipei seems to be living on a different planet” writes @Tantalite via @LePoint, w/quotes from me. He explores 2 key questions: how did #Taiwan do so well in managing the health crisis & what can Western democracies learn from the success? ➡️ bit.ly/319ZuX7 EN 🧵below
“Taking together the #Doklam, northern, and Sakteng sectors along with #Pangda village, China now claims close to 12 per cent of Bhutan’s territory.”
My latest for @9DashLine on China’s village in Bhutan and Beijing’s challenge to India in the Himalayas.

This cover is symbolic, as it points to #Taiwan's growing power. Our successful #TaiwanModel and #TaiwanCanHelp mindset won us many friends internationally. We will surely continue to face many challenges in the post-Covid era, but for now, I envision equally many opportunities.
📍 Qui dominera le monde ?
La #pandémie bouscule la hiérarchie des puissances entre l'Amérique, l'Asie et l'Europe. Le monde qui émerge est multipolaire, dangereux et instable. Aperçu des nouveaux rapports de force. ➡ bit.ly/319ZuX7
Terrible news… We have just witnessed the @RSF_inter@RSF_eastasia 2020 Press Freedom Awards at the National Central Library in Taipei, during which @JimmyLaiApple got the Special Prize. I cry over the wilting Bauhinia…
Today is a great day to re-visit this article on the history of #Taipei's #Jewish community—dating back to the 1950s, when US troops were stationed in Taiwan. Today, Chabad Taiwan—or the Taipei Jewish Center—brings together a 1000-strong community.

#HappyHanukkah to the Jewish community in Taiwan and beyond. I have learned that #Hanukkah is the "Feast of Lights" - may the lights of the menorah give us hope and guide us towards the light of wisdom, peace, and moderation. #ChagSameach חַג שָׂמֵחַ 🕎

🦺 My feed is full of accounts of last night's #earthquake(s) across #Taiwan-did anyone else got woken up by 2nd quake at 2 am?
I'm glad to know there were no major damages, but preparedness is crucial in our earthquake-prone archipelago. Stay vigilant!

The dogs with the loudest bark are the ones that are most afraid.This petty strategy is a spectacle for audiences in🇨🇳—a part of #CCP's desperate attmpts to pump up #nationalism as a pillar for the party's legitimacy. RESILIENCE is a defining feature of our archipelago-democracy.
The question is not “who will rule the world,” but how will humanity continue to grow out of this mindset. Any nation which seeks hegemony in order to impose its itself on others rather than supporting mutual cooperation is in fact running backwards
