Alors là... La rapporteuse de l'ONU agit depuis de longs mois sans soutien de nombreux pays membres pour dénoncer le sort qui est fait au peuple palestinien. Et on appelle à sa démission sans même être sûr qu'elle a vraiment prononcé les propos incriminés?

📺"Les communistes, en arrivant au pouvoir, ont donc aussi voulu que l’État endosse les habits de l’empire, avec les mêmes frontières. Et c’est ce que la Chine essaie de faire encore aujourd’hui avec Taïwan, perdue en 1895."... A 21h sur @artefr.bsky.social www.nouvelobs.com/teleobs/2026...

L'Europe se découvre des dépendances inverses. Sans les machines ASML d'Amsterdam, personne ne peut graver les puces les plus avancées — ni Taiwan, ni la Corée, ni les États-Unis. Le hub de Leuven à 2,5 milliards illustre cette stratégie : contrôler les goulots technologiques.

I know quite a few people on this platform who called it very early on. Seen from Taiwan, this has been such an obvious outcome.

Certains au TPP (et aussi au KMT) - les pragmatiques, ceux qui connaissent leur électorat et ne sont pas aveuglés par une ambition personnelle démesurée ou une idéologie - comprennent qu'une majorité de Taïwanais ne va pas supporter longtemps ce qui est perçu comme du sabotage.

Important read by @ginollopez.bsky.social on an act of union busting by Taidoc—apart from being flagrantly illegal, this is likely to draw more attention to the labor struggle by what is only Taiwan’s third migrant worker union

I asked a Republican witness if she was concerned about the safety of people in Taiwan. She said that Trump can be a "madman”.

After getting back from his big meeting with Wang Hu-ning in Beijing, KMT deputy chairman Hsiao Hsu-tsen had this to say about the US ambassador to Taiwan: "Raymond Greene is just a bit more than section chief, if that—he may not even be a division director." news.ltn.com.tw/news/politic...

Europe has spent years hoping American commitment would remain automatic. That era is ending, and NATO needs leadership that pushes Europeans to act accordingly.

Taiwan’s economic affairs ministry to send team to assess US rare earth deposits – Reuters: ‘with a goal to have such minerals refined on the island’

According the latest TPOF poll, Taiwan's governing party -the DPP-, President Lai and Premier Cho have all regained in past weeks the support they had lost in late Spring last year (when the U.S. imposed tariffs on Taiwanese goods, and a campaign for recall votes was at its peak in Taiwan).

Taiwan could be Indo-Pacific’s defence breach if special budget not passed, defence minister Wellington Koo 顧立雄 (DPP) says – Focus Taiwan: ‘Koo also warned that failure to approve the budget would signal to Washington that Taiwan’s efforts to enhance its self-defense lack public support.’

"I brought my children to Epstein's island" does not sound like something a responsible person would do.

Je m'étonne de voir à nouveau avancée dans cet article l'idée qu'il y aurait eu "dix ans de rupture" entre le Kuomintang et le régime communiste chinois. Le KMT multiplie ces dernières années l'envoi de délégations à Pékin. Il n'y a jamais eu de rupture.
