Imagine thinking Taiwan is some collectible the US can hand over — Bruce Wolpe and the #SundayShot crew somehow manage to erase 23 million people while congratulating themselves for their nuance. That’s not analysis — it’s a masterclass in how to colonize a conversation without even owning a navy.

The self-ascribed progressive alternative to ABC's The Insiders, #SundayShot, @instanterudite.bsky.social and Bruce Wolpe with dreadful comments about Taiwan, bizarrely claiming the US could cede Taiwan to China as if it is it US territory, erasing 23m people with their own story.

45 yrs ago tonight at Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota, the number five engine on the right wing of a B-52H on ground alert caught fire during a drill. The B-52H was loaded with 8 Short-Range Attack Missiles (each armed with a 170-200-kiloton W69 warhead) and 4 B28 bombs (70 kilotons to 1.45 Megatons).

Imagine trying to teach about Taiwan at any Victorian education institution under this agreement, or being a student who identifies as Taiwanese-Australian.

A newly filmed TV series in Taiwan, titled Zero Day Attack, presents a close representation of the reality Taiwanese citizens have been living with in the face of simmering threats from China, for years.

"Choose to work with, not fear, our neighbours" Although China's era of growth is over, PM Albanese's visit has led to a resuscitation of early 2010s-style "rise of China" hyperbole. Needless to say, "work with" and "fear" are not the choices Australia faces.
