Last week, the University of Rochester in the United States was found to have moved the Republic of China flag, formerly exhibited side by side with other international flags in alphabetical order, next to the flag of Hong Kong in the university’s Hirst Lounge where flags representing countries from its student body are displayed...
A Tweet several weeks ago by Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen on the cancellation of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit that was originally scheduled to take place in Santiago, Chile strikes as not only tone-deaf but illustrative of a consistent pattern of behavior by the Taiwanese government...
The revelation earlier this month that Shih Cheng-ping, 56, a retired professor who formerly taught at National Taiwan Normal University and a member of the KMT, has been detained in China for over a year once again points to China’s arbitrary detention of Taiwanese...
