> Can we for ONCE, avoid a war? Let's offer any and all
Taiwanese to migrate to the U.S. NOW. Allow them to bring their
wealth, and manufacturing with them. These are hard working,
educated people who would add instant wealth to our ailing
economy. GAD! This makes so much sense. Leave the island of
Taiwan an empty shell of dirt. China wants it SO badly. Let them
have a rock in the middle of an ocean.

I keep getting ads for this "Shen Yun" festival, which allegedly
shows how China supposedly was "before communism":

It seems very Western to me (note the Western orchestra),
possibly a CIA psy-op.

@rp Your intuition is right. Shen Yun is a Falun Gong operation,
and Falun Gong is the mastermind behind almost every single
major online network or channel focused on China, at least as
far as American media is concerned. But I wouldn’t even be
surprised if their reach went outside of America. Even the
non-political ones are in their pockets. Mike Chen owns multiple
huge YouTube channels for example, and he basically just talks
about Chinese culture and food. But he’s actually been outed as
a Falun Gong supporter as well. Falun Gong has such a powerful
internet presence, that it would be easier to list what channels
AREN’T run by them. Every time any of these seemingly unrelated
channels delve into politics, the perspective on mainland China
is uncompromisingly negative. The rabbit hole goes quite deep:

FYI: Apparently Shen Yun isn’t very subtle at all with its
propagandistic nature. Even average people who aren’t well
invested in this sort of politics claim that when they bought
tickets, they could tell almost immediately that the whole thing
was sketchy the moment they arrived

Fewer Countries Recognise Taiwan as a Sovereign Country: What
Next?

> Xi Jinping's increasing focus on the "One China" Policy and
isolating Taiwan from the rest of the world is leading to less
countries recognising it as a sovereign state. So in this video,

More than a dozen prominent Taiwanese politicians and
businessmen accused of sexual harassment
--- Quote ---
> Over the past several weeks, more than a dozen sexual
harassment cases involving prominent politicians, academics,
cultural figures, and exiled Chinese dissidents have emerged
across Taiwan. In one of the latest allegations, a young woman
posted on Facebook last week that she had been sexually
assaulted by Bartosz Rys, the former deputy representative of
the de facto Polish embassy in Taiwan. The woman, Yu-Fen Lai,
said the alleged incident took place in September 2022. She
filed a complaint in November 2022 but went public with the
accusations after Taiwanese prosecutors decided not to pursue
charges against Rys following an investigation. In response to
Lai's Facebook post, Rys, who has subsequently left Taiwan,
rejected the allegations on Twitter, emphasizing that he does
not enjoy diplomatic immunity, and that investigators determined
that the charges were not substantiated. Lai insists that she is
not lying and her decision to go public was encouraged by other
women revealing experiences with sexual harassment as the #MeToo
movement takes root in Taiwan.
>
> In late May, a spate of sexual harassment cases emerged from
Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), forcing
several high-ranking party leaders to resign. In response, the
DPP's chairperson Lai Ching-Te, and Taiwanese President Tsai
Ing-wen both issued public apologies. Questions have been raised
as to how the slew of sexual harassment allegations could affect
the DPP's performance in national elections set for January.
President Tsai has called for reforms promoting gender equality
and for Taiwan to create mechanisms for reporting sexual
harassment. "If the DPP establishes a better mechanism to handle
sexual harassment cases, it can let the public know that they
are serious about addressing the problems, which may limit the
impact of the movement on DPP's performance in the election,"
said Wei-Ting Yen, a political scientist at the Franklin and
Marshall College in the United States.
>
> Taiwan's culture of silence
> According to experts, although Taiwan is a progressive
democracy that has legalized same-sex marriage, the culture
remains conservative, and chauvinism still exists in workplaces
and politics. "Taiwan's culture is very tolerant of men, so
while sexual harassment has been happening all along and women
from the older generation may be aware of these cases, they
might tell young women to 'put up with it,'" Yen told DW. Yen
added that it's difficult for victims in Taiwan to step forward
because they may be "judged" by the public for sharing details.
"It takes a lot of courage to talk about these experiences, but
since they may not be treated justly, many victims are reluctant
to talk about them and prefer to remain silent," she told DW.
>
> Fan Yun, DPP lawmaker and a leading figure in Taiwan's
feminist movement, told DW that many women choose not to report
workplace sexual harassment either because they worry about
losing their jobs or because they don't trust the reporting
system. "Even though Taiwan has sexual harassment prevention act
and other regulations to address similar issues, the existing
mechanisms are inadequate, which prompts the victims to reveal
their experiences online," she said.

Taiwan Affairs Office condemns DPP actions
HTML https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202409/06/WS66db2069a3103711928a6987.html
--- Quote ---
> A Chinese mainland spokesman on Friday condemned the Taiwan
Democratic Progressive Party for exploiting the case of "Taiwan
independence" separatist Yang Chih-yuan, who was sentenced to
nine years in prison for the crime of splitting the country, in
an attempt to smear the mainland.
>
> Taiwan's mainland affairs authorities said that Yang's case
demonstrated that mainland's measures against "Taiwan
independence" target all Taiwan people, suggesting that any
Taiwan individual could be convicted as a separatist. They
called for a careful consideration of the necessity of traveling
to the mainland.
>
> Chen Binhua, the spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of
the State Council, said that the Intermediate People's Court of
Wenzhou in Zhejiang province sentenced Yang to nine years in
prison for the crime of splitting the country on Aug 26,
depriving him of political rights for three years.
>
> The court found that from 2008 to 2020, Yang actively engaged
in activities aimed at splitting the country and seeking "Taiwan
independence" in Taiwan, including formulating plans for "Taiwan
independence" actions, plotting to promote building the island
into "a country", and attempting to promote Taiwan to join the
United Nations and other separatist activities that undermine
national unity, according to Chen.
>
> The court considered Yang's actions as constituting the crime
of splitting the country, with a particularly egregious nature,
Chen said.
>
> He said that the DPP authorities maliciously tarnished the
just actions of the national judicial organs in lawfully
punishing "independence", attempting to equate the vast majority
of Taiwan people with a small number of separatists, and
obstruct Taiwan compatriots from engaging in normal cross-Strait
exchanges and cooperation.
>
> From January to August this year, over 2.6 million Taiwan
compatriots visited the mainland for exchanges, which serves as
a concrete action to expose the lies and rumors spread by the
DPP authorities, he added.
