"rational and pragmatic" ftw
This should really receive much more attention. While the international world was panicking about the possibility of Lai going "ZOMG! Independence" at National Day, instead he was making this move to create a new consensus to supersede the 1992 Consensus focustaiwan.tw/cross-strait/…

As China carries out a new round of military drills today around Taiwan, official media are circulating this image from the China Coast Guard - basically to send a message that such actions are carried out with "love" from the motherland.

Truth as synonym for liberty isn’t a collectible. It is the joyous discovery of the enlarged sense and state of being that is the change of heart induced by the presence, incomprehensible and usually unannounced, of the lady in the veil. - Lewis Lapham laphamsquarterly.org/arts-le…

The best Ma can do to justify flaking on ROC National Day is scrape the bottom of the international pundit barrel and coin a new term for a not-new policy stance. 天佑馬英九!Hope he had a nice brunch. I wouldn't have wanted to watch all that cartoony halftime show stuff either
Former president Ma Ying-jeou released this statement on Facebook stating that the reason why he decided not to attend the inauguration was because Lai's view of Taiwan's relation with China is a two-state relation and stating that Lai is a "troublemaker"

Me, I'm drinking warm water with fresh Taiwanese basil, Indonesian clove, and German "China Oel" to settle my stomach through this annual ordeal. Godspeed y'all! 🙌 🇹🇼☘️🍠
