我最近在 Rti 中央廣播電臺 的一篇報導中受訪：

"來自新加坡的薪資倡議者鄞義林也說，台灣過度經濟及科技導向，卻忘了人文跟藝術的價值，他解釋：『(原音)人要有創新、有新想法，在科技上商業模式要變通，這些都需要藝術概念。我們只用錢跟利潤來考慮我們的社會，我們就低估了研究、教育，低估了很多讓高科技創新發展很基本的社會研究，給他們很低的薪資，忽略了可以使我們經濟轉型的很重要的培育。』"

Xi Jinping vs Zhang Youxia

If China takes Taiwan and US can no longer act as a counterweight to China, China will create a sphere of influence in Asia in its image, and Asian countries will lose their autonomy. This is why it's so important to prevent Taiwan's fall, and guard against China's expansionism.

China says several dozen countries support its military drills to encircle and threaten Taiwan. China uses brute force and appeals to authoritarian leaders to try to make its false claim over Taiwan real, because it has no legitimate claim. China's actions only causes it to lose credibility.

Previously I've focused on writing about Taiwan's wages, but I've recently also commented on China's threats and Taiwan's sovereignty. I created a short comic using Gemini to explain how Taiwan's wage issues are linked to Taiwan's sovereignty in my perception, and why caring about them is important.

​過去我主要專注於撰寫關於台灣薪資議題的文章，但最近我也開始針對中國威脅與台灣主權發表評論。
​或許有人會好奇為什麼，所以我利用 Gemini 製作了一則短篇漫畫，來解釋在我看來，台灣的薪資議題是如何與主權息息相關，以及為什麼關注這些議題至關重要。

China just announced military drills today to encircle Taiwan. On TikTok, China sells pretty images of its cities to convince people globally of its development. But in reality, China is rehearsing conducting a blockade around Taiwan to use it as a pretext to take over Taiwan.

China launched the 'Justice Mission' military drills today to encircle and threaten Taiwan. But Taiwan has its own 'Justice League' to defend Taiwan from China's threats! (I created these posters using Gemini.)

中國今天發起了「正義使命」軍事演習，企圖包圍並威脅台灣。但台灣也有屬於自己的「正義聯盟」來抵禦中國的威脅，守護台灣！（這些海報是我用 Gemini 製作的。）

中國又再對台發動軍演。。。

面對台灣當前的政治氛圍，我們真的急需讓情緒降溫，開始互相傾聽。

​現在，不同立場間的對話往往充滿了火藥味，這讓我們更難靜下心來聽見對方的聲音。我利用 Gemini 創作了這兩篇漫畫，是希望能提醒我們自己：傾聽彼此的觀點有多麼重要。

​如果我們持續內鬥，只會讓中共網軍有機可乘，利用我們的語言來攻擊彼此、製造不信任，進而分化並削弱台灣。我們真的需要找到方法去同理彼此的立場，並尋求共識，這樣才能共同強化台灣的韌性，並改善大家的生活。

I hope what VP Hsiao Bi-khim says is heeded!

"Speaking about Friday's indiscriminate attacks near two Taipei metro stations, Hsiao said, they once again highlighted "lingering social anxiety in Taiwan and the need to repair and strengthen the social safety net."

KMT lawmakers seen visiting China ahead of major votes - Taipei Times Bringing Taiwan to the World and the World to Taiwan

"Multiple Taiwanese businesspeople have said that the Chinese government is pressuring KMT lawmakers to stop Taiwan’s NT$1.25 trillion (US$39.6 billion) special defense budget and national security law amendments via go-betweens in the business community."

Taiwan's opposition parties are calling President Lai Ching-te a dictator. I created a short comic to explain why they are doing so. Of note, the opposition parties are pro-China and have been acting on China's behalf, to try to pass chaotic laws, in order to destabilize Taiwan.

YouTube video by TaiwanPlus News Analysis: Taiwan’s Top 10% Earn Nearly 50% of Income, Hold 60% of Wealth｜TaiwanPlus News

I spoke to TaiwanPlus about why Taiwan's income inequality is high, its impact on society & politics & the need to raise minimum wage faster—because of the risk that disenfranchisement among a segment of voters can lead to distrust with government & weaken Taiwan's defense.

This is a more detailed infographic with the exact excerpts from the documents/agreements which China cherry-picks from the different WW2 documents in order to string together an argument that China can use against Japan, if Japan does not abide by what China wants.

A quick note that while China rejects the San Francisco Peace Treaty, it however considers the Cairo Declaration and Potsdam Proclamation to be valid (against international norms), and China uses them to claim Taiwan (and Okinawa, if it wants). More on the specific text in this infographic below: 👇

Peace pact cannot guarantee peace: Lai - Taipei Times Bringing Taiwan to the World and the World to Taiwan

China wants to sign a 'peace treaty' in order to get Taiwan to 'surrender' to China, so that China can claim to be the successor to ROC, and take Taiwan. ROC was the government in China before moving to Taiwan, and China desperately wants the successorship.

China has been framing Japan as militarizing, so that it can use Potsdam to accuse Japan of re-arming, and then use UN Charter Enemy State Clauses to enforce action against Japan without UN Security Council approval. China is edging towards war, but accusing Japan of doing so.

Potsdam Proclamation limits Japan's sovereignty to its 4 major islands (not Okinawa), then China can use the Cairo Declaration to claim Okinawa was stolen from China & use Potsdam to fight Japan if it resists. China's claims on these documents are a pretext to start a conflict.

China is demanding Japan acknowledge the Cairo/Potsdam Declarations, but these documents not only allow China to use force against Taiwan, but also on Japan.

This is why a Taiwan contingency is a Japan contingency.

SEE HOW CHINA MAY START A CONFLICT based on these documents:

I spoke with Radio Taiwan International about Taiwan's low wages and rising cost of living, and how it is a national security concern.

The global AI race is supercharging Taiwan’s economy. But many don’t feel better off | CNN Business For proof that an economy can thrive even under constant military threats from a powerful neighbor and amid US President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, look no further than Taiwan.

Glad to speak to CNN about Taiwan's low-wage situation: "Taiwan’s economy has seen exceptional growth in recent years – and booming profits among tech businesses – average workers & employees in other sectors have been mostly left out, widening the income disparity."

4) China harps on WW2 but since WW2, China has sent soldiers into wars but Japan has not.

5) Since WW2, China has killed tens of millions of citizens but Japan has not.

6) China accuses Japan of militarism but it's the one building illegal military bases in contested territory.

I've created posters to fight China's propaganda:

1) China's claims over Taiwan have no legal basis.

2) China has a history of misinterpreting and violating international agreements for its own territorial expansion.

3) A simpler version explaining Taiwan's independence.

In any case, it's good to know where people stand on the position of Taiwan. From a rights-based perspective, you cannot deny people's basic rights to self-determination, especially not in the face of an entity (CCP) that exists by denying citizens to vote for their legitimacy.
