- Speaking of silliness, this hilaribad piece on why you shouldn't leave Hong Kong for Taiwan will leave you ROFLMAO. A definite quality drop for EJN insight there....
- News Lens consistently puts out good stuff on Taiwan. Here is one on the new union for media workers. And another on revitalizing Dadaocheng.
- Scholar Gary Rawnsley discusses Taiwan's inability to talk to the outside world.
- Individuals who protested the name "Chinese Taipei" at a recent baseball match and had the banner ripped from their hands in a video that went viral on social media, received an apology from the baseball association.

Quick Message of Gratitude for Michael:
Thanks for your blog - it is a fantastic compendium of Taiwan-related reference materials, and your added perspectives on the collections of articles and reports each time is very helpful.
I have learned tremendously about Taiwan - from politics to history - from patiently reading through the links in your blogs over time. Doing business here for a couple years now and in Asia for decades, it surprised me how little I actually knew about Taiwan before.
There is so much sensitivity built into the wording of everything written about Taiwan, it can be exhausting and frustrating to read from scratch while on guard for misleading bias. Your hints as to which perspectives can be found where are a great guide, especially for a busy professional in Taiwan. I generally sympathize with your views on most Taiwan subjects, so it's especially valuable for me.
Thank you.
Wow. Stunned.
Thanks so much.
A belated thanks for the link MT
