Death Metal Lawmaker Unleashes Battle Cry on Taiwan National Day
As Taiwan celebrates its national day, President Tsai Ing-wen faces challenges from the New Power Party, co-founded by death metal band Chthonic's frontman Freddy Lim. The party, appealing to younger voters, advocates for a decisive break from China. Lim's band released a new album, 'Battlefields of Asura,' reflecting themes of resistance and freedom. Tsai's administration is under pressure from Beijing, which has increased military activities around Taiwan due to her refusal to acknowledge Taiwan as part of China.
Taiwan Denies Stoking Hong Kong Unrest, Blames Communist Party
The Taipei-based Mainland Affairs Council attributes the unrest in Hong Kong to the Chinese Communist Party's refusal to address democratic demands, rejecting accusations from mainland China that Taiwan is instigating the protests. Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen and her Democratic Progressive Party criticize Beijing's 'one country, two systems' model, while Chinese officials accuse Taiwan of exploiting the situation to undermine this framework. The article highlights the ongoing tension between Taiwan and China, with both sides exchanging blame over the Hong Kong protests.
Taiwan's President Defeats Leadership Rival, Clearing Bid for Second Term
Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen defeated her former premier Lai Ching-te in the Democratic Progressive Party's primary, securing majority support in a telephone poll. This victory comes after significant losses in regional elections and concerns about her ability to win a second term. Tsai still needs approval from the party's executive committee to become the official nominee. She faces potential challenges from five Kuomintang candidates and possibly an independent bid from Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je. The primary relied on independent surveys rather than voting to determine the stronger candidate against the opposition.
China's Hard Line in Hong Kong Boosts Beijing Critics in Taiwan
Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen has strongly opposed Hong Kong's proposed extradition law, gaining support from democracy advocates and recovering from a previous election defeat. Tsai secured the Democratic Progressive Party's nomination for re-election, emphasizing her firm stance against Beijing. Her criticism undermines Hong Kong's leader Carrie Lam and highlights the unfeasibility of the 'one country, two systems' model for Taiwan. Even the China-friendly Kuomintang party dismisses this model. Tsai's victory strengthens her position to challenge China in the upcoming general election, with political issues likely to dominate voter concerns.
Taipei Mayor Plans to Shake Up Taiwan’s Politics With New Party
Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je plans to establish a new political party, the Taiwan People’s Party, ahead of Taiwan's crucial presidential election in January. This move could disrupt the political landscape, potentially affecting President Tsai Ing-wen's chances of re-election. Ko's entry into the race is seen as more damaging to Tsai than to her main rival, Han Kuo-yu of the Kuomintang. The outcome of the election will influence Taiwan's future alignment with either liberal democracies like the U.S. and Japan or a China-friendly administration.
Hong Kong Becoming ‘Criminal Paradise’: Taiwan Lashes Out at Lam
The release of Chan Tong-kai, a murder suspect, has intensified tensions between Hong Kong and Taiwan. Chan, who admitted to killing his girlfriend in Taiwan, was released from a Hong Kong jail after serving time for a related money-laundering charge. His case sparked violent protests in Hong Kong and led to the introduction of controversial extradition legislation by Chief Executive Carrie Lam. Taiwan's authorities criticize Hong Kong's handling of the case, fearing it could turn the city into a 'criminal paradise.' The dispute highlights ongoing jurisdictional and sovereignty issues between Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China.
Biggest iPhone Assembler Warns Trade War May Last a Decade
The U.S.-China trade war could extend for another five to ten years, according to Terry Gou, Chairman of Foxconn Technology Group, the largest assembler of Apple's iPhones. Speaking at a summit in Xiamen, China, Gou highlighted the shift from globalization to polarization due to economic and technological competition between the two nations. He emphasized that the U.S. views China as a strategic rival and will build barriers to prevent it from acquiring key technologies, necessitating a restructuring of the global supply chain to be more robust and flexible.
Face of Defense: Army Astronaut Prepares for December Launch
Army Astronaut Lt. Col. Anne C. McClain is set to launch into space for the first time on December 20 aboard the Soyuz MS-11 spacecraft, alongside crewmates David Saint-Jacques and Oleg Kononenko. The mission will involve a six-month rotation on the International Space Station, where they will conduct around 250 research investigations and technology demonstrations. McClain emphasizes the unifying nature of space exploration and the importance of international cooperation. Her extensive military background and training have prepared her for this mission, and she looks forward to the scientific and personal challenges ahead.
Taiwan Attributes Black Hawk Crash to Environment, Human Factors
Weather, terrain, and human factors were identified as the causes of a UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter crash in January, which resulted in the deaths of eight defense ministry officers, including Taiwan’s top military officer. The Ministry of National Defense’s Air Force Command Headquarters reported that sudden weather changes led to thick cloud and mist, preventing the pilots from climbing high enough. Mechanical failure was deemed unlikely. The air force plans to enhance training and equipment in response.
China Warship Collision Led to Standoff, Freighter Captain Says
A collision between a Taiwanese-registered freighter and an unidentified Chinese warship in the Taiwan Strait led to a standoff, resolved by the intervention of the Taiwanese coast guard. The incident highlights the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region, with increased military activity from both China and the U.S. The identity of the Chinese vessel remains uncertain, though it is speculated to be the Longhushan, a large amphibious transport dock. The freighter captain emphasized the incident as a simple maritime accident, downplaying any intentional aggression.
