La grandeur d’un caractère se dévoile dans l’épreuve… et ce n’est pas beau à voir

Czechia manager Pavel Chadim is one of my most favorite people in the world. Here's one reason why. He said this after losing, 14-0, to Chinese Taipei

歷史上的剃頭…欸名字怎麼好像很常看到😂

Taiwan bouncing back with a 14-0 win sure was cathartic.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

So Russia is giving Iran targeting and intel on American forces in the Gulf.

So let me get this straight: Trump supports Russia, which supports Iran.

So, in Trump logic, Ukraine is the enemy.

Got it.

Merci.

It was great to sit down with Taiwan's Representative to the U.S., Alexander Yui, today.

I appreciated the opportunity to reiterate my support for the U.S.'s economic partnership with Taiwan and to have a productive conversation about our shared priority around security in the Indo-Pacific.

Seems troubling.

More troubling would be the idea that the Administration might have bombed Iran without expecting this.

Team Taiwan at its best today facing Czechia. Much soothing after yesterday's huge defeat against Japan.

Another Team Taiwan to cheer for!

Go Taiwan

Yomiuri: Taiwan has been vocal about supporting Ukraine. Colby: It exhibits an almost suicidal lack of focus on their own [situation]. Taiwan needs to be as well armed as possible. The United States has limited resources. So, like a company, we have to pick a strategy.

I hate him so much japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/world/us-can...

Elbridge Colby is the blobbiest nepo baby to every nepo for the blob and everyone who convinced themselves he was a maverick standing up for a coherent strategy for a Pacific Pivot got ludicrously bamboozled

Team Taiwan cheering band.

D-backs prospect and Premier12 winning pitcher Yu-Min Lin enters for Chinese Taipei and the crowd lets out an excited murmur. I'd say they get loud, but they can't actually get any louder.

Packed house at the Tokyo Dome for Chinese Taipei-Czechia.

A rough start for Czechia here: Chinese Taipei gets two singles that, in total, went about 150 feet. Then a double steal and a throwing error and CT is up 1-0 with a runner on third with one out.

Stuart Fairchild -- who believes his foul ball was a home run last night -- now hammers a grand slam off Jan Novak and Chinese Taipei are up 6-0.

The fans from Taiwan are going NUTS. This might be louder than most concerts I've attended.

dans les bouchons et d'arriver à la maison si tard qu'elle ne passe qu'une heure avec son gamin avant qu'il aille au lit. Cela pourrait sûrement touver un arrangement mais l'entreprise préfère le temps de travail uniformisé...

En fait, d'autres solutions sont possibles, mais cela suppose de la flexibilité de la part des entreprises. Pour mon amie (qui vient de reprendre le travail après que son gamin a commencé le jardin d'enfants), l'important serait de pouvoir partir une heure plus tôt pour éviter de se retrouver

Il faut en + que l'entreprise choisisse de participer au programme (c'est sur la base du volontariat), à ce stade on m'a parlé de 60-80 entreprises inscrites, le tout dans la limite du budget disponible (au sein d'1 entreprise inscrite au programme,tt le monde ne pourra sans doute pas en profiter).

The limits of Japan’s immigration charade Until now, the quality and training of Japanese-language teachers were largely left to the private sector, including academia.

Commentary: Japan is expanding professional Japanese language education for foreign workers, but its refusal to acknowledge immigration raises questions about how fully migrants will be accepted into society.

Team Taiwan!

Richard Bush: The American position on Taiwan, as we’ve stated it since June 27, 1950, was that Taiwan’s status was undetermined. We fundamentally changed our view on what was going to happen to Taiwan. We didn’t say it wouldn’t be returned to China, but we indicated that it would happen at a later time, under better circumstances. At the time of the San Francisco Peace Conference, we insisted that the treaty say that Japan renounced sovereignty over Taiwan, which had been a Japanese colony for 50 years, but the treaty did not say to whom Japan was transferring sovereignty. The United States and its allies could not agree, moreover, on which Chinese government should attend the San Francisco Peace Conference, the Republic of China on Taiwan or the People’s Republic of China on the mainland. So, there was no Chinese government at the San Francisco Peace Conference. Instead, we engineered a separate bilateral peace treaty between Japan and the Republic of China. And in that treaty as well, Japan renounced sovereignty over Taiwan, but didn’t designate to whom it would be transferred, which was a tad annoying to the Republic of China.

So, this has been our stated position for a long time. It was essentially reconfirmed in the normalization communiqué establishing diplomatic relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China in 1979, where we said, the government of the United States acknowledges the Chinese view that Taiwan is a part of China. In other words, we made clear that China’s view was not our view. There are practical reasons why this was important. If we recognized that Taiwan was a part of China, that would mean that it really was China’s internal affair, as Beijing was saying, and that what existed between the two sides of the Strait was a civil war. According to international law, the United States shouldn’t be in the business of providing arms to one side in a civil war, nor should the United States be intervening militarily to defend one side in a civil war against another. A late friend of ours, Alan Romberg, studied this issue very carefully and came to the conclusion that, essentially, our position still is that Taiwan’s status is undetermined. It doesn’t mean it couldn’t be resolved in some way, but it should be done through negotiations between the two sides of the Strait.

R. Bush on the US position on #Taiwan:

We engineered a separate bilateral peace treaty between Japan and the ROC. And in that treaty as well, Japan renounced sovereignty over Taiwan, but didn't designate to whom it would be transferred.

Our position still is that Taiwan's status is #undetermined.
