    Only 3% of people in Taiwan think of themselves as primarily Chinese. Nearly three-in-ten (28%) think of themselves as both Taiwanese and Chinese, but the largest share by far (67%) see themselves as primarily Taiwanese.

    Most people in Taiwan consider China’s power and influence a threat. This includes 66% who label it as a major threat – more than say the same about the power and influence of the United States or Russia (45% and 25%, respectively).

    What’s more, Hunter Biden actually AGREED to appear publicly, and not behind closed doors where the GOP could warp his testimony through selective release. Good luck getting the DoJ to find “Contempt of Congress” in Hunter Biden’s case.

    Today in Labor History December 10, 1949: The People’s Liberation Army began its siege of Chengu. This was the last city held by the Kuomintang (KMT) on mainland China. It forced Chiang Kai-shek’s troops and government to retreat to Taiwan. Then, on this same date in 1979, the Kuomintang, themselves, brutally suppressed pro-democracy protesters in Taiwan at the island’s first Human Rights Day celebration. The KMT arrested nearly all opposition leaders and held incommunicado for two months. The country had been under martial law and one-party (KMT) rule from 1949 until the late 1970s. In 1978, President Carter severed ties with the repressive island nation.

    When #The_Economist is talking about #Taiwan 🇳🇫 & they say "the island," what they really mean is "the country." 😖

    @MichaelTurton says: It is irrelevant "what China maintains" since that is false. Actually, the fact that China's claims are false is more relevant than the claims themselves…
