- A home-owner telling the 🇦🇺 prime minister and the media to move off his just re-seeded lawn is hilarious and, especially on this day and in this week, that they all dutifully did so is also deeply democratic.
00:00 - Damn. 零日攻擊 Zero Day. A new Taiwanese tv series about China attacking Taiwan.
00:00 - Musician Roger Waters: "They're not encircling Taiwan, Taiwan is part of China, and that's been absolutely accepted by the whole of the international community since 1948, and if you don't know that, you're not reading enough. Go and read about it." This is where we are.
00:00 - "That guy, you see that guy?" "No." "There's a guy who's running in front of the tank. He's standing right in front of it." ... CNN raw video, Chang'an Avenue, June 5 1989. #六四32 #Tiananmen #天安門事件

00:00 - Earthquake interrupts live news on @setlivenews in Taiwan this morning. Holy sh*t. youtube.com/watch?v=p6Knp2…
00:00 - "It would be like the Chinese saying to us, look, we think Tasmania..." No, it wouldn't be. Former Australian prime minister Paul Keating demonstrating his historical and strategic illiteracy on Taiwan. Kudos to @FergusonNews for challenging him.
00:00 - Ten Thousand Men of Harvard just sitting there staring as a Taiwanese woman activist is manhandled out of event with the PRC ambassador. 😞😞
00:00 - Notable that this Netflix series about Taiwanese politics ignores 🇨🇳 completely, and is an excoriating (and recognisable in 🇦🇺) critique of gender politics in Taiwan's political and public life. Also, the Mandarin/Taiwanese code-switching in the middle of conversations.
- "I lost my son". Ding Zilin, from the documentary film "The Gate of Heavenly Peace". For June 4. #六四34 #Tiananmen #天安門事件
00:00 - Chung Min Lee's opening question to Admiral Dong Jun at the Shangri-La Dialogue.
