#StandWithTaiwan - aus Gründen!

Just got confirmation for my next trip to #Taiwan, known as a sovereign #country and a beacon of #freedoms and #democracy in #FarEast - and most definitely NOT a province of #China.
Flying out on September 23 and back to Switzerland on October 15th, so it's going to be a full three weeks.
Message to #Zhongnanhai: please postpone any possible invasion plans accordingly.

I've always said that if #China were to do something incredibly stupid regarding #Taiwan, we'd witness the first #drone war of mankind.

Well, #Putin made sure the #Ukraine was first to some extent. But still plenty of old-school ground warfare mano-a-mano going on there as well.

Oh yeah, the #PLA - well known for its expertise in butchering and murdering unarmed students.
Famous for sending its soldiers into Vietnamese minefields in 1979.
Famous for arranging fist fights with Indian soldiers in the Himalayas only to turn up with iron clubs reinforced with nails.

A bunch of cowards that like to brutalize the weak and a massive paper dragon: That's the bloody PLA as I know it.

#TaiwanisnotChina #StandwithTaiwan #FucktheCCP

My wish for this building - being the Presidential Palace of #Taiwan in downtown #Taipei - is for no PLA soldiers to enter it in the next 30 years. Or let's just make that 50, by then the ghoulish #CCP regime of #China should be history, really. #TaiwanisnotChina #StandwithTaiwan

@yaohsi Turns out that the grand talk of #reunification by any means necessary that has become the firebrand of supreme leader #XiJinping and the #CCP is not that popular in #China itself.

No wonder, the #PLA is a paper dragon plagued by corruption and inexperienced in shooting anything else than the country's young talent. As shown on #TiananmenSquare back in 1989.

Exactly. There's every reason to include #Taiwan as much as possible at every opportunity, and to #StandWithTaiwan There is no reason for Taiwan to be excluded from the WHO https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/05/18/there-is-no-reason-for-taiwan-to-be-excluded-from-the-who/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1659309856384249856#m

So #Taiwan gets to choose between Lai, Hou and Ko. In a popular vote.
And #China had the *choice* between Xi, Xi and Xi. Through its rubber-stamp *parliament*, the People's congress.

See the difference? It's called #democracy.
#StandwithTaiwan #TaiwanisnotChina

We have to take the possibility of #China launching war with #Taiwan seriously And we have to #StandWithTaiwan and do everything possible to prevent and deter #CCP invasion How war in Taiwan could mean the wheels come off the UK economy https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/apr/29/how-war-in-taiwan-could-mean-the-wheels-come-off-the-uk-economy?CMP=share_btn_tw https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1652594283004690432#m

From three days to 27 minutes: Still an overreach that endangers #civilaviation on behalf of #Beijing. #IATA should hold #China accountable for this nonsense and violation of #Taiwan's airspace and sovereignty.

And yes: #paperdragon alert, folks!

Let's be very clear about this: #Macron is not throwing #Taiwan under #XiJinping's #OneChina bus to promote #EUSovereignty.

He's done it to help French corporations rake in mega contracts in #China. And that is really and truly fucked up.

Macron's brain has turned into particularly creamy camembert cheese on his way to Beijing.

@GianniVernetti RT by @badiucao: Don’t worry President #Macron, there will be an international coalition (with or without France) to protect #Taiwan in case of a Chinese aggression. #StandWithTaiwan https://nitter.hongkongers.net/GianniVernetti/status/1645367220766232578#m

When countries that are members of the #UnitedNations' Security Council behave like assholes in full contempt of #internationallaw like #Russia and #China currently do, this very council and its purpose are being seriously underminded.

I #StandwithTaiwan, for #taiwanisnotchina #Taiwan

#Taiwan is a vital friend and partner in the cause of freedom and democracy. We must #StandWithTaiwan https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1641486194562281521#m

This is fabulous. So glad @CommonsSpeaker invited Ambassador Hsieh of #Taiwan to @HouseofCommons Thank you Sir Lindsay! We should all #StandWithTaiwan https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1640765939238010889#m

I am delighted that a UK @HouseofCommons delegation is in #Taiwan We must #StandWithTaiwan https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1638103745731887105#m

We must #StandWithTaiwan - and make it absolutely clear that we stand with #Taiwan The Taiwan Long Game https://www.foreignaffairs.com/china/taiwan-long-game-best-solution-jude-blanchette-ryan-hass?utm_medium=social via @ForeignAffairs https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1637951096491593730#m

Here's my opinion: #China has nothing in terms of #softpower to *convince* #Taiwan and its citizens to submit themselves to the inhuman authoritarian regime of the ghoulish #CCP.
The fine people of Taiwan are used to speak their mind, to talk shit about those in power and to use the entire internet with all its #freedoms.
What incentive could #Beijing have to lure them into a cage? There is none. And there will be NO *reunification* under CCP rule. That's a serious non-starter.
