I hope the Western media uses the same standard of investigation and reasoning of the Grenfell Tower fire when they explain the catastrophic residential blocks fire in Tai Po, Hong Kong. 1/

International media, you can do better than this. "Bamboo" is maybe exotic and a compelling hook but it is too easy. The real story here is the growing culture of corruption, including a lack of accountability and oversight, that enabled a chain of human errors that led to this disaster.

Writing about PRC military threats against Taiwan is difficult, because it’s bad to overstate (invasion isn’t happening, they’re drills) but it’s worse to understate (conflict could genuinely happen, these drills are serious). Accurate wording has never been more important.

TaiwanPlus is important in at least three ways: 1. While I read both Chinese and English, I still have difficulty to follow Taiwan media in Chinese, due to loads of irrelevant "news", from car cam, neighbour quarrels, to some random ads. In Eng, TaiwanPlus picks the more important news.

as said many times before, campism is incredibly West-centric bc it's never concerned in the slightest with the agency of non-western peoples, reducing struggles elsewhere and everywhere to a fake anti-imperialist analysis centering US foreign policy
