Unprincipled and weak. The murder of journalists is perhaps the single most direct violation of the right to freedom of speech. Beyond that, it shows unprecedented and spectacular spinelessness to obfuscate the murder by a foreign power of a journalist who worked in your country,
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to

Many Taiwanese still carry the scars of PTSD from the KMT’s (Chinese refugees) 80-year rule. When the CCP discusses Japan’s colonial period in Taiwan, the Taiwanese response is that the Japanese period was better than the Chinese (KMT) period. 🇹🇼🫶🇯🇵

Donald Trump publicly calls for the execution of Democratic congressmen, and Republicans don’t bat an eye. But as soon as you make a joke about Charlie Kirk’s views, all hell breaks loose.

Is it going so badly internally in China that the campaign against Japan has to be prolonged? To flex muscles in front of one’s own distorted narrative sounds a lot like a design for internal use. To the outside, it all sounds childish.

A reminder that the voices of Chinese citizens are blocked on this site by their own government, so what we’re seeing are propagandists, extremists, trolls and bots turning up their hot mess of disinformation and gaslighting against Japan. Next comes the economic retaliation.
The current situation in China-Japan relations is caused by Prime Minister Takaichi’s blatant remarks on Taiwan. Those remarks grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs, violated the one-China principle and the spirit of the four political documents between the two

China's overreaction to Sanae Takaichi's comments on Taiwan will only help the new Japanese prime minister. Faced with rhetoric, she looks reasonable -- and the bullying campaign from Beijing is only boosting her popularity at home. My latest, free: https://t.co/HEPJmQJXeH

A diplomatic spat with China might not have been top of the wishlist for Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

Travel consumption of foreigner visiting Japan in (2023) Taiwan - 782B yen 14.4% China - 760B yen 14.3% South Korea - 739.2B yen 13.9% US - 607B 11.4% HK - 480B 9% China’s spending power is negligible compared to other countries, so it’s better if there are fewer 🇨🇳 tourists.

@mikitaposts My theory is that they’ve been cut off from the rest of the world by that great firewall of theirs that they don’t know how to be normal anymore. It’s like a spastic child acting out but there’s no responsible adult there to tell them no for too long.

😠This is on purpose! 🇯🇵Today (November 18), when the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs official who came to China to hold consultations with the Chinese side regarding Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s remarks on Taiwan was leaving China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
A Chinese person who calls herself “an ordinary Chinese” and has 74,000 @X followers said that if Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi @takaichi_sanae "dares to challenge the bottom line of China’s 1.4 billion people, China will make you and the Nazi supporters who support you

Donald Trump and Greg Abbott played with fire, got burned -- and democracy won. This ruling is a win for Texas, and for every American who fights for free and fair elections.
BREAKING: Federal judges block Texas from using redrawn congressional maps that would boost the GOP in the 2026 midterm elections.

Don’t treat the Japanese people’s politeness as weakness.
Japanese diplomat Masaaki Kanai was sent to China for damage control, trying to walk back the plans to declare war on China by their big mouth prime minister Takaichi. This picture was taken after Kanai's meeting with his Chinese counterpart Liu Jingsong (hands in pocket).
