“Chinese” identity was forced on Taiwan through indigenous genocide (17-19th centuries) and post-war authoritarian indoctrination. But today only 2% of Taiwanese identify as “Chinese.” In the 21st century we stand up for who we are: a diverse society that reflects our unique

Imagine having to defend your gender and nationality on top of defending the gold. Only one person has had to do that at the Paris Olympics. Her name is Lin Yu-ting, the pride of Taiwan! ❤️

A typhoon just made landfall in Taiwan, with a rainbow appearing at the start. It's expected to move away by this Friday.
