Michelle Hisao, the representative of teh Republic of China in the United States, refuted the "stock god" Buffett's claim that Taiwan is a dangerous place. Chen Chien-jen, President of the Executive Yuan, said today that Taiwan has indeed been threatened by many civil and military attacks, so a lot of efforts have been made to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. He emphasized that if Taiwan's stability and prosperity can be ensured, the whole world will be able to prosper.
Buffett sold TSMC stock. He said at the shareholder meeting that he did not like the company's "location," revealing geopolitical considerations. Hsiao Mei-qin publicly stated that "doing business in Taiwan is very safe," refuting the claim that Taiwan is a dangerous place. Chen Chien-jen attended the delivery ceremony of the fourth CP-10006 Haixiong boat of the 100-ton patrol boat of the Customs Administration in the morning, and expressed his views on this during the interview.
Chen first thanked Hsiao for her contribution to the promotion of Taiwan-US relations. He said that Taiwan is at the forefront of the democratic camp. The efforts made by the Republic of China (Taiwan), coupled with cooperation with like-minded countries, have made the Indo-Pacific region more free and open, and also made the Taiwan Strait peaceful and stable.
He said that by enriching our capabilities and preventing and preventing any destruction of peace, we can do our best to ensure the stability and peace of this place.
He emphasized that protecting and investing in Taiwan is actually the best way to stabilize the region. If Taiwan's stability and prosperity can be ensured, the whole world will be able to prosper. In other words, the prosperity of Taiwan is an indispensable and irreducible part of the prosperity of the world. If Taiwan's investment can be stabilized, he believes that the economic development of the world will be better, so he hopes everyone can support Taiwan. Investing in Taiwan will enable Taiwan and the world to enjoy peace, prosperity, and better economic development.

To prevent China from attacking Taiwan from the air, the U.S. senator proposes to enact the deterrence of China's preemptive strike bill
Reporter : Lu Yongshan / https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/4299171 / Image: U.S. Senator Marco Rubio proposed the "2023 Deterrence of China Preemptive Strike Act", requiring the U.S. Department of Defense to develop a plan to strengthen the protection of aircraft bunkers in the Indo-Pacific region in response to CCP China's possible air strikes against Taiwan. (European News Agency)
A heavyweight member of the US Congress once again proposed a bill to assist Taiwan in defending against Chinese aggression! According to a Radio Free Asia report, Republican Senator Marco Rubio proposed the Deterring Chinese Preemptive Strikes Act of 2023 on 11 May 2023, requiring the US Department of Defense to formulate measures to strengthen the protection of the Indo-Pacific region and plans for aircraft shelters in response to possible Chinese air strikes against Taiwan.
The report pointed out that the bill requires the U.S. Secretary of Defense to conduct a classified investigation of the U.S. aircraft bunkers deployed in the Indo-Pacific region, including various U.S. aircraft bunkers deployed in the first, second and third island chains, and improve their defense capabilities to mitigate China’s Damage to aircraft from missiles, drones, and other forms of attack, and prepare for a Chinese military invasion of Taiwan.
Once the bill is passed, the U.S. Secretary of Defense should submit an investigation report on aircraft bunkers in the Indo-Pacific region to the relevant committees of Congress within 120 days of the enactment of the bill. Within 60 days after the report is submitted, the Secretary of Defense also needs to submit a specific plan to the committee to implement improvements to related aircraft shelters and improve the survivability of the U.S. Air Force in the Indo-Pacific region under Chinese missiles, drones and other forms of attack. It will be considered first by the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Rubio's office said the United States is committed to assisting Taiwan's defense against aggression by the genocidal Chinese regime. The war game table conducted by the US think tank "Center for Strategic and International Studies" (CSIS) and other institutions shows that CCP China's possible strategy before invading Taiwan includes launching missile attacks on US military bases in the Indo-Pacific region to suppress US intervention in the potential Taiwan Strait conflict.
Rubio said: "We need to actively protect our military installations around the world. Strengthening the protection of our installations in the Indo-Pacific region is common sense to safeguard our interests and prevent hostile actions against the United States and our allies."

Talking with Wang Yi for 8 hours, Sullivan talked about the Taiwan Strait and reiterated: Oppose one-sided change of the status quo

U.S. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the CPC Central Committee Wang Yi recently met in Austria. The two talked for 8 hours. The topics discussed included cross-strait, regional security, and the war between Russia and Ukraine, anti-drugs, Beijing's detention of American citizens, etc. Among them, on the issue of the Taiwan Strait, Sullivan reiterated that the United States is committed to adhering to the "One China Policy" based on the "Taiwan Relations Act" and opposes any unilateral change of the status quo by any party, and hopes that cross-strait differences can be resolved peacefully.
According to foreign media reports, the relationship between the United States and China has been tense in recent years. After the Chinese reconnaissance balloon invaded the US airspace at the end of January this year, the bilateral relationship deteriorated again. From the 10th to the 11th of this month, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China Central Committee Wang Yi met in Vienna, Austria. This was also the first high-level meeting between the United States and China after the balloon incident.
According to reports, the talks between Sullivan and Wang Yi lasted 8 hours in 2 days and touched on many issues, including the two most sensitive topics of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Taiwan. The U.S. once again warned China not to provide any military assistance to Russia while also keeping a close eye on China's actions on the Taiwan issue. Sullivan also reiterated Washington's concerns about China's lack of "constructive engagement" in using its influence to force Russia to stop its invasion of Ukraine, and called on China to do more to stem the flow of illegal drugs.
On the issue of the Taiwan Strait, China has always claimed that Taiwan is its own territory. Sullivan also reiterated that the United States is committed to following the "One China Policy" based on the "Taiwan Relations Act", the Three US-China Communiqués and the Six Guarantees, and opposes any one side unilaterally changes the status quo, does not support Taiwan's independence, and hopes that the differences between the two sides of the strait can be resolved peacefully.
In response to foreign media citing people familiar with the matter, the outside world originally believed that the reconnaissance balloon incident would lead the U.S. to take more countermeasures against China. However, in order to limit the damage to U.S.-China relations, the U.S. State Department backed down on human rights sanctions and export controls. An unnamed senior U.S. official responded to this, saying that the U.S. does not believe that dialogue can be achieved through compromise, but emphasizes that communication is very important to control competition, and the U.S. and China should have regular diplomatic communication.
Regarding whether the talks will help the United States and China maintain communication channels, officials also said that both the United States and China need the communication channel of Sullivan and Wang Yi to control competition; Competition needs to be managed stably. He also pointed out that both sides recognize the importance of maintaining communication. Although the two sides did not discuss details, it is expected that US and Chinese officials will exchange visits in the next few months.

Out of stratosphere, Trump reiterates election fraud on CNN
Reporter : Chen Chengliang / https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/paper/1582431 / Image : Former U.S. President Trump was interviewed by CNN's live civic symposium, and reporters watched the broadcast in the media room. (AFP)
Former US President Trump attended a live symposium on CNN on 10 May 2023, reiterating his personal statement on issues such as election fraud and sexual assault cases, and emphasizing the Ukrainian war can be resolved within 24 hours.
In the past few years, CNN and Trump have been at loggerheads, and have been criticized by Trump as a media that "creates fake news." The civic symposium held in New Hampshire was Trump's first appearance on a CNN program since 2016, showing that he had stepped out of the Republican Party's comfort zone for the election. The Associated Press reported that the audience at the symposium was mainly Republicans and independents. The audience gave Trump an enthusiastic response. Trump also said to the audience at the end: "I like you."
A day earlier, a New York jury ordered Trump to pay $5 million for sexually abusing and defaming 79-year-old columnist Carroll nearly three decades ago. Asked by the moderator about the outcome of the case, Trump said his poll numbers had risen and reiterated that he did not know Carroll. Trump has repeatedly stated that Carroll, who is three years older than him, is "not his type." He repeated his remarks in a mocking tone on 10 May, that caused the audience to laugh. The host tried to interrupt him, but Trump went on to say that it was a "fabricated story" and that Carroll was "out of his mind."
Trump reiterated that the results of the 2020 presidential election were a "sham" and pointed out that the United States needs "honest elections." For example, he should stipulate that voters need to bring their ID cards to vote, and then the audience applauded.
Regarding the attack on Congress, the host asked Trump why he did not stop the supporters. Trump replied that he had tweeted many times that day asking the participants to maintain peace. He also said that most of the protesters charged with crimes in the incident were good people and that he favoured pardoning them after returning to the White House.
When talking about the war in Ukraine, Trump emphasized that the Ukrainian-Russian conflict should not be viewed from the perspective of winning or losing. What he hopes is to stop the local killings. Russians and Ukrainians are dying. Solve this war within twenty-four hours.
On the home front, Trump has said that if he is re-elected, he will protect the constitutional right to bear arms and address mental health issues. On the issue of mass shootings, he said, "It's not the gun that pulls the trigger, it's the people." Additionally, he described the Supreme Court's overturning of the abortion rights case as "a great victory."
Trump advocates the exploitation of crude oil and fighting inflation, and he has no scruples to put environmental issues on the back burner. In response to the debt ceiling issue, Trump urged Republican members of Congress that if Democrats do not agree to cut spending, they should refuse to raise the U.S. debt ceiling and trigger a debt default.

Overseas Chinese leader arrested in the United States for assisting China's overseas repression
Reporter : Zhou Hongwen / https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/paper/1582432 / Image : American man Liang Litang (transliteration) took pictures of the participants and sent them to Chinese officials, and helped plan counter-protests against the rally. (taken from the Internet)
An indictment announced by the Federal District Court of Massachusetts on 4 May 2023 shows that the American man Liang Litang (transliteration) is suspected of being an agent of the CCP Chinese government from 2018 to 2022. He provided authorities with photos and information of anti-Chinese government dissidents, planned counter-protests against pro-democracy dissidents, and provided Chinese public security with lists of potential recruits. The Boston Globe pointed out that after the federal grand jury indicted, this person was arrested on 9 May and a detention hearing was scheduled for 11 May 2023.
Liang Litang, born in 1959, is a Chinese "overseas Chinese leader" in the Boston area. He often participates in activities of pro-Chinese Communist authorities. He is the former chairman of the Greater Boston Area Peaceful Reunification Promotion Association. As a chairperson, he is representative of the Liang Clan Association in Boston, and other positions in Chinese associations; among them, the U.S government has listed the Greater Boston Area Peaceful Reunification Promotion Association as a "foreign mission".In October 2020, it pointed out that it is controlled by the United Front Work Department of the Communist Party of China .
Prosecutors pointed out that Liang Litang began to work for the CCP regime in 2018. He first contacted the officials of the Chinese Communist Consulate General in New York, the United States, and then sent news to the relevant officials about local Chinese and organizations, using telephone and WeChat as the main communication channels. The indictment lists a number of evidences. For example, during the rally in support of the anti-extradition movement in Boston in August 2018, Liang Litang took images of the participants and sent them to CCP officials to help plan counter-protests against the rally.
Xu Yingting, the organizer of the August 2018 event, told "Voice of America" on 10 May 2023 that the prosecution and arrest are a matter of justice and an explanation.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will be on the cover of the American "Time" magazine for the first time. Kishida will host the Hiroshima summit of the Group of Seven Industrial Countries (G7) next week, and will use Japan's leading power to unite the G7 countries to deal with Russia, CCP China and North Korea. Kishida was also selected as one of Time magazine's annual 100 most influential people for the first time last month.
The time was an exclusive interview at the prime minister’s mansion at the end of April. At the beginning of the interview, regarding the haunted legend of the mansion, Kishida told the reporter that he was indeed warned by his predecessors that he would encounter ghosts, but he still hears strange sounds from time to time. No ghosts were encountered.
The magazine will be on shelves from 22 to 29 May 2023.
In the latest interview, it was mentioned that Kishida announced the three documents of the national security strategy in December last year, and greatly increased Japan’s defense budget. These are reforms that Abe has been looking forward to for a long time. The reform was completed under major internal resistance. The report pointed out that Kishida has set out to transform Japan, the world's third largest economy, into a global military power that can rival Communist China as the United States looks to its allies to counterbalance CCP's growing influence.

The statue of Chuan Zhong Nanshan was covered, the epidemic appears to be serious
After the May 1 holiday, the epidemic situation resurged across China. It was supposed to be the time when the anti-epidemic hero Zhong Nanshan showed up again but there were rumours that his statue was covered and his portrait was taken down.
The photo shows the sculpture of Zhong Nanshan, known as the anti-epidemic national soldier, but it was covered by what netizens call a body bag. Some people wrote on the Internet: "It has been double-opened", "All statues and pictorials of Zhong Nanshan have been removed." and other information.
In this regard, I have some doubts: Zhong Nanshan, as a retiree, even if there is a problem, he cannot use "double opening". Secondly, and the most important point: Zhong Nanshan was the big gold chain (Medal of the Republic) winner that Xi Jinping personally presented to him to wear then, which is equivalent to giving a gold medal to avoid death. Save face? Whether or not Zhong Nanshan has had an accident will soon be known, but the situation of "Is the whole country suffering from pharyngitis" was indeed once on Weibo's hot search.
CCP official media reports: During the May Day holiday, a total of 274 million domestic tourists traveled in China. After the holiday, a large number of netizens said that they had sore throat. Because this symptom was similar to the epidemic, many people worried whether they were infected with the covid virus again.
Someone posted: "Healed and covi-positive again"; another described "It's the second time (infection), I didn't have a fever both times, I was hurting all over the body and had a razor throat"; some even lamented: "It's over, I used to Kanyang’s trending searches report a covi-positive case every few minutes or ten minutes, and now I click on this trending search and say that I am covi-positive.”
In the past few days, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Sichuan, Guangdong and other places have begun to issue vaccination announcements again, causing panic among the people.
This is a notice issued by Dongguan, Guangdong Province to conduct nucleic acid testing for 8 consecutive days. The notice reads: Dongcheng Street will arrange nucleic acid sampling points from 6 to 13 May 2023. The following is the testing schedule at the two hospitals. Another netizen from Wuhu City, Anhui Province said under a photo of nucleic acid test: "It's not a rumour, I just did it yesterday in Wuhu." Someone asked: Was it requested by the neighborhood committee? He replied: Anyway, 2,000 people in my village have done it.
Not only in the countryside, the atmosphere in universities in cities is also generally tense. A university in Guangzhou has begun to require all staff and students to wear masks in class.
The internal notice of the university reads as follows: According to the feedback from the school doctor, the number of novel coronavirus pneumonia cases has increased in recent days, and all students will be required to wear masks in class tomorrow. Later, it was emphasized that all teachers, students and staff must wear masks, and those who do not wear masks will be persuaded to leave.
Another headline was a post that the isolation point of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law was overcrowded. It mentioned: "Now there are 20 or 30 students who are covi-positive. I can't live anymore today..."
If you want to ask whether the epidemic situation in China is serious again, I actually have a very accurate method, which is to see if senior CCP officials have started wearing masks during meetings. Unfortunately, they really started to wear masks, and even Xi Jinping, who had long since stopped wearing masks, put them on again.

Xi Jinping takes three members of the Standing Committee to Xiong'an to wear masks safely
On 10 May 2023, Xi Jinping took Li Qiang, Cai Qi, and Ding Xuexiang to inspect Xiong'an. It is very rare for four members of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China to inspect a local city together. This is also the first time that Premier Li Qiang of the State Council has appeared in Xiong'an. What is interesting is that his predecessor Li Keqiang never expressed his attitude towards the construction of Xiong'an, and this Xiong'an, which started construction on 1 April ("April Fool's Day") six years ago, is also true. Unfortunately, the city has not received the grace of the Holy Majesty for a long time, and after finally looking forward to it, everyone put on their masks again in unison. Not only do they wear it when you meet, they basically wear the masks along the way.
Why does this seem to be a bit of a return to the zero-covid era? However, under the CCP’s rule, as long as the party has not said there is an epidemic, even wearing a mask is not counted, and whoever dares to tell the truth will have disastrous consequences.
Li Chuanliang, former deputy mayor of Jixi City, Heilongjiang, boldly disclosed the serious consequences of officials telling the truth about the epidemic.
It seems that the three-year epidemic and the end of the epidemic seem to be a process of putting on and taking off the mask. In fact, taking off the mask does not mean that the epidemic will not come back, nor does it mean that the three-year pain of the epidemic will not continue.

TV hostess exposes media misery
Recently, Liu Yangyang, a well-known hostess in Chengdu, resigned after 15 years at Chengdu TV Station. She publicly disclosed the reason for her resignation, which is actually related to the background of the epidemic lockdown.
Liu Yangyang said: Many people think that the TV station is an "iron rice bowl", but only when they are in the siege do they know that the salary is chilling. She revealed an unbelievable media situation: the programs have been shut down one by one in the past two years, and there will be almost no programs to do by 2023. Liu Yangyang revealed that the TV station has few programs, and he dare not ask for annual leave for the one-minute-recorded program once a week. In order to get a one-minute program slot, we also have to rely on "bad fights".
The sentence "The programs have been shut down one by one in the past two years" has already revealed the background of "dynamic clearing". In that closed environment, it is a miracle that the programs are not pornographic.
In fact, Liu Yangyang's resignation is just the tip of the iceberg in the media world. On 7 May 2023, some netizens sent a message saying that several hosts of Liaoning TV station had resigned. Another netizen revealed that a host at Dalian TV Station has not been paid for several months.
A netizen posted a post and revealed: Liaoning TV Station has long struggled to raise wages. The anchors of Liaoning TV Station, Jin Xia, Huang Xinying, and Liu Ying all resigned. Speaking of this Liaoning TV station, one cannot fail to mention that when the epidemic was raging in April last year, Zhu Xia, a well-known hostess of Liaoning TV station, was suspended and punished, which detonated the Internet at that time. In fact, the reason for being punished is very simple, that is, when Zhu Xia was chatting live on social media, she accidentally told the truth: implying the seriousness of the epidemic.
Not long after, the Liaoning Radio and Television Group issued a notice to suspend Zhu Xia's work; removed Zhu Xia from her post as the person in charge of the channel's broadcasting management department; Zhu Xia's new media account was also stopped updating. After listening to this paragraph, do you have the feeling of returning to the zero-covid era?
It seems that the TV stations in the three eastern provinces have been in a downturn recently. Some netizens disclosed that some hosts of Dalian TV Station have no expenses for several months. The TV station is funded by the financial appropriation, but now it is managed by the group, and there is no money left.

Shenzhen, the leading economic powerhouse, has negative population growth for the first time
In fact, it is not only the three northeastern provinces that are affected by the epidemic. Shenzhen, which is considered to be the leader of China's economic power, released the 2022 National Economic Statistics Bulletin on May 8. Last year, Shenzhen's permanent population was 17.66 million, nearly 20,000 fewer than in 2021. This is the first negative growth since Shenzhen was established more than 40 years ago.
According to "Wall Street Insights", the main reason for Shenzhen's negative population growth last year was the epidemic and the accompanying economic difficulties. The isolation policy of "dynamic clearing" has made it impossible for outsiders to operate, and their income has dropped sharply, or even directly returned to zero. Many people have been cut off from their livelihood.
Unemployment has soared because of the dismal economic conditions everywhere. In order to stimulate the economy, Premier Li Qiang of the Communist Party of China actually began to return to the "street-stall economy" advocated by his predecessor Li Keqiang. Recently, the Shandong Zibo barbecue was hyped by the authorities, and first-tier metropolises such as Beijing and Shanghai have also liberalized the "street-stall economy." Now, it is the turn of Shenzhen, the economic leader, to put down its figure and set up street stalls.
Shenzhen announced that it will no longer ban "roadside stalls" from 1 September 2023. Analysts said that the lifting of the ban on CCP China's street stall economy represents a change in CCP China's entire economic structure, and cities that have always been "tall" have to put down their airs and allow people to set up stalls to supplement their household expenses.
The problem is that the street stall economy is a rather marginal economy after all. Have you ever seen a developed country rely on street stalls for its economy? Now that the CCP has begun to promote the Zibo barbecue-style street stall economy across the country, it can only show that the CCP is at the end of its wits about China’s post-epidemic economic recovery, and what it implements now is to treat headaches and feet, and even think about it. This can be seen from the fact that the CCP called for "returning farmland to forests" three months ago, and now it has changed to "returning land to fields" like a convulsion.
Beijing Independent Times commentator Wu Qiang said that although the government has gone to various places to do research, it has not introduced any substantive policies except to give confidence and comfort to private entrepreneurs. In my opinion, the temporary boom of the street stall economy is like a false prosperity like fireworks in the sky, and the period of economic hardship faced by the Chinese people has just begun.

In order to ensure "food security," the CCP instantly reversed the "returning farmland to forests" that had been practiced for decades, and ordered "restore farmland." In order to complete the task, the local authorities have resorted to various farces such as "returning forests to farming" and "returning roads to farming". Chengdu has also launched the "returning scenery to farmland", which will return the park around the city, which was built with huge sums of money, back to farmland.
A large number of videos circulated on the Internet show that in order to expand arable land, local governments wantonly cut down trees and forests, destroyed farmers' fish ponds, farms, and orchards, and even forcibly eradicated various non-food crops that farmers planted in the fields, causing the democratic movement to boil.

The article said that in order to protect the "red line of cultivated land" policy, scenes of magical reality dramas were staged at the grassroots level. In many places, in order to complete the "rectification of the land area" of the superior showdown, they can only go against common sense and remediate a lot of land that no one wants to plant.

Forcing riverbanks to be converted to farms but there is no harvest
Villages and towns in three provinces have received tasks and must complete them within a time limit. In addition, the Ministry of Land and Resources issued the task of "replenishing more than 390 acres of destroyed land" at the end of March, requiring that early rice must be planted before 5 May 2023. Some local officials said there was resistance to allowing farmers to cut down trees and return to farming. Another official said that the local riverbanks were originally suitable for raising geese, but now they are converted to farming and there is no harvest at all.

The tasks enforced by the CCP violate common sense of natural conditions
The article said that these remediation tasks violated the common sense of natural conditions, because the first land to be abandoned must be barren land without water or roads or easily flooded, and it will not be profitable to cultivate it now. In addition, asking farmers to pull out orchards and commercial crops to plant staple food, and asking rural cadres to spend a lot of money to replant wasteland with staple food also violates common sense in economics.

In addition, the way of life of farmers has undergone tremendous changes.

In the end, many village cadres had no choice but to pay someone to sow some seeds and let them fend for themselves, "let's go through the satellite image first."

A pressure-based system of accountability and the abuse of digital tools have caused absurd situations
The article accused the authorities of a pressure-based system of accountability at various levels, coupled with the abuse of digital tools such as satellite image comparison, forming a "digital bureaucracy" and causing various unreasonable and absurd situations.
A large number of videos and photos circulated on the Internet show that in many places, a layer of soil is spread on the concrete floors of squares, sports fields, and parking lots, and rice seedlings are even directly sprinkled on concrete roads to deceive the satellite aerial photography of superiors.

The absurd faming policy is the return to Mao's era
The CCP's "returning forests to farming" reminds many people of Mao Zedong's era of "taking grain as the key link". Xi Jinping also mentioned "food security" many times, demanding that "the rice bowl of the Chinese people should be firmly in their own hands at all times."
