Another concise and enjoyable look at the “news”. Speaking of narratives, I’m comfortably ensconced here in Taiwan (as some of you may or may not know) and I’ve been thinking about Chinese President Xi’s apparent upcoming evil takeover of Taiwan. Thanks to Burning Bright’s (probably correct) theory of the sovereign alliance I started to wonder why Xi would even bother with this little island. Here is my theory: Taiwan is a globalist proxy state that is simmering quietly. The Fake news media is pretty much all that’s available to the Taiwanese and anyone else living here. The government health ministry managed to get about 97% of the population vaccinated and convinced he’s a hero for doing so. The latest government escapade is “climate change” and “climate crisis.” The “President” Tsai Yingwen, dismantled nuclear power plant that had been working very nicely for quite a few years and shipped all the pieces back to the US. She then had all the coal furnaces fired up to provide needed power and then had thousands of giant windmills erected up and down the coastline. The Taiwan government is desperate to get rid of gasoline engines and go full electric. Windmills, coal furnaces and now dams are being built. Gas powered buses are already being replaced by electric buses. Add to that the electrical power necessary for the chip manufacturing. 5 years ago Taiwan had beautiful blue skies. Not anymore. The smog is ubiquitous. Of course that can be blamed on climate change and not on politicians following the orders of their masters.
There is the Taiwan government which is not the same as the Taiwan people, who don’t want to be ruled by communists - or globalists. Taiwanese have a saying (in Chinese pinyin) “Shang you zheng ce, xia you dui ce” which loosely translates to “those above make rules, and those below figure out how to get around them.”
I think Xi has been giving notice to the globalists regarding Taiwan. “Hands off.”

Thank you for your on the ground true reporting of things in Taiwan.
