I 2024 ramte en teknologisk revolution den iranske hær. Den kom i form af en kinesisk spionsatellit, der blev solgt til præstestyret.  Nu er satellitten sat i forbindelse med angreb på amerikanske baser viser afsløring fra @financialtimes.com www.berlingske.dk/internationa...

Sydkorea har fjernet brugen af Kina (Taiwan) på deres e-ankomstkort efter pres fra Taiwan. Danmark har ikke rykket sig endnu www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/6338713

The real question is how Taiwanese voters will respond in the autumn elections and in 2028. Shall KMT adjust? Today, KMT says to the Taiwanese: One China and oppose Taiwan independence.KMT has majority in the parliament together with the loyal Taiwan's people's party newbloommag.net/2026/04/10/c...

The PLA really has no idea what it's doing, hm? Air incursions have basically increased from Day 1 of Cheng's trip until now and are at the highest immediately after Cheng's meeting with Xi. Really throws water onto the KMT narrative of being able to dial back tensions

Great comment and perspective on the visit to China by KMT chair Cheng Li-wun by @michaelturton.bsky.social www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/ar...

Taiwan har frataget visse privilegier for danske diplomatiske ansatte i Taiwan fordi Danmark giver taiwanere i Danmark nationalitet Kina. Nul EU-lande gør det og den praksis strider mod Danmarks ét-Kina politik. Trist at to demokratiske nationer er kommet her til www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/...

Taiwan has now revoked some privileges for Danish diplomatic staff over a Danish practice that gives Taiwanese nationality “China”". Details is not revealed. Denmark, why? www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/...

I wonder if the DPP would, in fact, genuinely want stricter legal oversight if they are just calling for it as a show--the KMT is, of course, shooting itself in its own foot with Cheng's visit and the DPP is probably celebrating internally focustaiwan.tw/cross-strait...

Historically, a KMT chair meeting Xi has not exactly been an electoral asset. For instance Ma and Hung. www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/6335054

Taiwan's population estimated to drop from 23M to 12M in 2065 due to low birthrate. Challenge for welfare, industry, politics, immigration and the society. Interesting to see if politicians and society can find solutions. www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/a...

Lack of holistic thinking in Denmark results in this new step towards Denmark. Taiwan is big economically, and now Denmark may face retaliatory measures if no change in the Danish policies on giving Taiwanese nationality 'China. May adjust privileges and immunities. focustaiwan.tw/politics/202...

A must read by @michaelturton.bsky.social on the consequence of fewer Taiwanese in Taiwan and Taiwan's political economy. Labor "shortages are colliding with old KMT dreams of opening the door to Chinese labor, goods and influence" www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/ar...

Taiwanese children are now being registered as Chinese in Denmark, reports Berlingske. In my view, what matters is no longer what the authorities say, but what they do. Mails indicate that treating Taiwan as part of China is a political decision. www.berlingske.dk/internationa...

Taiwanske børn bliver nu registreret som kinesere i Danmark, viser Berlingske. I min optik er det ikke afgørende, hvad myndighederne siger mere, men hvad de gør. Mails peger på, at det er en politisk beslutning at behandle Taiwan som en del af Kina. Det bringer Danmark tæt på Kinas position #dkpol

Er der mon nogen i Danmarks regering og system, der kan tænke i helheder fremfor mærkelige lappeløsninger for taiwanerne i Danmark og for Danmarks respekt for andre folk? www.berlingske.dk/internationa...

Danmark registrerer taiwanere som kinesiske statsborgere – men anerkender ikke Kinas krav på Taiwan. Samtidig udstedes rejsedokumenter, der anerkender, at deres pas siger “Taiwan”. Det hænger ikke sammen. I 50 år fungerede det uden problemer. Derfor foreslår Taiwan Corner en lovændring.

A must read about the local politics in Taichung: www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/ar...

Democracies shall protect each other, not this: "South Korea’s e-Arrival card system lists Taiwan as “China (Taiwan)” in the “point of departure” and “next destination” fields." www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/a...

Denmark registers Taiwanese as Chinese. We in @taiwancorner have a solution to registering Taiwanese in Denmark correctly with nationality Taiwan by law. What the Danish government could not do in 2 years we have done in two hours. taiwancorner.org/restore-the-...

I guess this is a sign that the Executive Yuan will continue to exercise its newly appropriated power of veto

Taiwan is an incredible place with brilliant people. So why is the discussion about defending the country still at such a low level? I really do not get it. www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/a...

Heard that @MOFA_Taiwan is terminating Taiwan Review (end of June) and Taiwan Today (end of year). Sad news. Nothing about Taiwan Panorama/Review.

Today 2.28 p.m., a documentary about Taiwan’s democracy movement will be on Youtube. Hand in Hand 牽阮的手. I saw it in the cinema back in 2011, but I need to revisit it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaH2...

Details awaiting! Discount defence budget? Seen from the outside, it is puzzling that Taiwan is not united in defending Taiwan while China is increasing its military threats.

US now importing more from Taiwan than China.

Tirsdag holder jeg foredrag om Taiwans historie og vejen til demokrati. Det skyldes ikke én person eller én begivenhed, men mange faktorer. Én ting står dog klart: moderate kræfter i både oppositionen og det autoritære system skabte demokratiet til slut billetto.dk/e/taiwans-hi...

Probably a beep on the radar, the violation of the six assurances talking about arms sales with Xi, that we will forget after Xi-Trump meeting. If not, Taiwanese domestic politics may even more polarized not benefiting the Taiwanese. focustaiwan.tw/politics/202...

25 straight months of population decline. Neither major party is doing anything meaningful to promote marriage, elevate motherhood, change the built environment, or reform the work culture. www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/6299904

Why? KMT elected a Chinese citizen, Qin, to its Standing Committee. Qin has called on people to follow Chinese President Xi Jinping’s socialism with Chinese characteristics. www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/...

The strategic focus on Taiwan and Asia, the latest arms sales and the chip industry tell China something different.

It is time for responsible politicians in Taiwan more than ever. China is building up military pressure on Taiwan while Taiwan's parliament cannot make a proper defense budget. Responsibility includes dialogue on important issues and the capacity for compromises. www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/...

Hvorfor fylder Taiwan i global politik? Kom med, når Michael Danielsen (Taiwan Corner) giver et historisk overblik over Taiwans omstridte status, demokratiske kamp og strategiske betydning i verden.Historie, magt og selvbestemmelse med kontekst. @dkmedier billetto.dk/e/taiwans-hi...

We in Taiwan Corner have sharpened our mission to state even more clearly: it is the Taiwanese who decide Taiwan's future and no one else. Our mission: "We support the people of Taiwan’s right to choose Taiwan’s own way in the world freely and democratically". Decided by our members taiwancorner.org

Taiwan’s birthrate crisis won’t be fixed with economic incentives alone which is the same in other countries. Bigger thinking is needed including looking at the social structure. Taiwan can become different when more immigrants are needed requiring higher salaries. english.cw.com.tw/article/arti...

I Information stiller jeg spørgsmålet om det kan passe, at udenrigsministeriet har uddelegeret en markant del af Taiwan-politikken til andre instanser? Danmark registrerer taiwanere med nationalitet Kina. www.information.dk/debat/2026/0...

Michael Turton at his jaw-droppingly awesome best: www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/ar...

KMT says Taiwan belongs to one China. No wonder that the polls currently look less good for the KMT. www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/...

Jeg var på TV2 News i går om kinesiske øvelser omkring Taiwan. Vi skal vænne os til, at øvelserne fremover ikke nødvendigvis knyttes til konkrete begivenheder – uanset om det lige nu er USA’s våbensalg, Japan-Kina spændinger eller indenrigspolitik eller ?

Spoke Dec. 22 on Danish national radio about Taiwanese in Denmark are registered as Chinese. Now Copenhagen refuses to list Taiwan as place of birth in passports which seems to violate guidelines. List Taiwan as nationality as the rest of the EU. www.dr.dk/lyd/p1/p1-or...

Kina afholder to øvelser per år og denne øvelse var forudset. Interessant - ligner ikke direkte reaktion på begivenheder - nærmeste er USA's store våbenpakke til Taiwan d. 19. december og Japans premierministers udtalelser. Konflikt opbygning og signalpolitik? www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/6272943

As the KMT would like to remind you, Merry Chr--er, I mean, happy Constitution Day! In the meantime, Taiwan's constitutional crisis continues and the Constitutional Court remains frozen

Spoke on Danish national radio about Taiwanese in Denmark are registered as Chinese. New case: Copenhagen refuses to list Taiwan as place of birth in passports but accept Asia which seems to violate guidelines. Denmark should list Taiwan as nationality as the rest of the EU www.dr.dk/lyd/p1/p1-or...

Support for Taiwan continues to be strong and bipartisan in USA as seen in this arms package. EU is also moving closer to Taiwan in other areas including trade and tech. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

Police concludes the subway attack was most likely a lone wolf attack, even though there may be online disinformation to the contrary focustaiwan.tw/society/2025...

Well, more populism in Taiwan. It will be interesting to see whether voters can see through a trend that’s appearing in many countries—but Taiwan is far more vulnerable due to its international status. focustaiwan.tw/politics/202...

Disinformation is a growing problem in Taiwan, and this news raises another questions about how big tech supports democratic discourse. www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/...
