Taiwan’s birthrate crisis won’t be fixed with economic incentives alone which is the same in other countries. Bigger thinking is needed including looking at the social structure. Taiwan can become different when more immigrants are needed requiring higher salaries.

I Information stiller jeg spørgsmålet om det kan passe, at udenrigsministeriet har uddelegeret en markant del af Taiwan-politikken til andre instanser? Danmark registrerer taiwanere med nationalitet Kina. www.information.dk/debat/2026/0...
Danmark støtter Ukraine – men bøjer sig for Kina i Taiwan-spørgsmålet
I stilhed har Danmark ændret praksis og anerkendt Kinas overhøjhed over Taiwan. Dermed svigter vi 23 millioner demokratiske borgere og undergraver de værdier, vi ellers siger, vi forsvarer

Jeg var på TV2 News i går om kinesiske øvelser omkring Taiwan. Vi skal vænne os til, at øvelserne fremover ikke nødvendigvis knyttes til konkrete begivenheder – uanset om det lige nu er USA’s våbensalg, Japan-Kina spændinger eller indenrigspolitik eller ?

Kina afholder to øvelser per år og denne øvelse var forudset. Interessant - ligner ikke direkte reaktion på begivenheder - nærmeste er USA's store våbenpakke til Taiwan d. 19. december og Japans premierministers udtalelser. Konflikt opbygning og signalpolitik?

Amazing arguments. The KMT supports postponing defense budget because e.g. "Ministry of National Defense had not explicitly stated that the Chinese Communist Party would have the capability to take Taiwan by force by 2027". Not China's ambition to take Taiwan?

This is key point. All the useful idiots talking about PRC red lines don't get that other countries have them too.
This isn’t just a ‘war of words’ between China and Japan. It’s Japan officially acknowledging that Taiwan = Tokyo’s red-line, and China testing it.
Good explainer on a "crisis" in China-Japan relations that has had bizarrely little coverage in Australia.

"Crisis" in quotes because obviously Beijing is using the Japanese PM's remarks as a pretext to test her government early in its term.

"But Taiwan is a legacy from the Chinese civil war, a final bastion of the Nationalists that lost the mainland to the communists."

Please, @jamesoaten.bsky.social, Taiwan was a Japanese colonial territory from 1895, the end of the Qing, to 1945.

I Børsen kommer professor Emeritus Bertil Heurlin med korrektion nemlig at det er "internationalt anerkendt, at Taiwan er en del af Kina. Tolkningen af dette Kina er flertydig". Det er også forkert. Minder om 1992 konsensus som ikke er anerkendt #dkmedier
