Embarrassing for Germany if true:

According to Noah Barkin, “Berlin denied a request by Taiwan’s Vice President-Elect Bi-khim Hsiao 蕭美琴 to travel as a private citizen through southern Germany during a visit to Europe. Hsiao (…) was allowed into Belgium, Czechia, Lithuania, and Poland.”

Lithuania becomes a multipolar superpower after defeating China in trade wars and ice hockey.

It's really not funny to joke about Taiwan's long work hours when it is already one of the longest among the advanced countries. It's out of touch and unsympathetic to the plight of Taiwan's workers who also earn one of the lowest and most inadequate wages among advanced nations.

🇪🇺 The road to Europe starts at home. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Poland joining the European Union at the European Picnic in #Łódź , hosted by Marek Belka, MEP. Great to see you again and looking forward to reading your book, Professor!

Then maybe cut off trade with Russia?

At a time when xenophobia seems to be rising in Japan, this lovely message from a Komeda Coffee Shop owner has struck a chord with many Japanese people and has been warmly received.

Excited to witness another milestone in the economic ties between #Lithuania and #Taiwan ! Today, we celebrate the investment from the Central and Eastern European Investment Fund into TransferGo, a testament to our growing partnership and commitment to innovation.

Just published a review of a book on China-CE relations by a great Slovak China scholar, Gabriela Pleschová, 'China in Central Europe. Seeking Allies, Creating Tensions'. It is an important work and a must-read for everyone dealing with China-CE(E) ties. tandfonline.com/eprint/3ZECUB3…

Circle of goodwill between #Taiwan and #Czechia supports recovery from disasters:
🧋In 2021, #Taiwan donated 6.5 million CZK (approx. 275k USD) to South Moravian villages affected by a #tornado
🇨🇿 Now #Czechia returns the favor, supporting the recovery from the 403 #earthquake

Lol

Disappointed Science Magazine published a map w/the ten-dash line, which has no factual or legal basis. Plus, largely unnecessary for the article itself (tracking subsidence in China’s major cities). It’s careless printing like this that legitimizes CCP propaganda. 😠☹️

Unusual colours to illustrate 'Europe Day'...

The arms deals between 🇰🇷&🇵🇱 might be in jeopardy, and the prospects for Korean involvement in #nuclear power rollout are also opaque. But we will always have the crown jewel of #Korea - #Poland friendship: E. Wedel, Poland's confectioner of choice, and an adopted child of Lotte.
