Kopites Supersonic August 4, 2022 Share August 4, 2022 (edited) Imo, It has been quite a while since I last visited our zoo. Don't think will be going there anytimes soon. https://www.straitstimes.com/life/entertainment/singapore-singers-jj-lin-and-stefanie-sun-accused-of-not-supporting-one-china-after-nancy-pelosis-visit-to-taiwan Quoted. More than 100 celebrities from China have expressed their support for the "one China" policy after United States House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan on Tuesday (Aug 2) night. China regards the island as a breakaway province which must be reunited with the mainland, by force if necessary. However, several overseas celebrities, including Singapore singers JJ Lin and Stefanie Sun, found themselves entangled in the saga after a netizen from China accused them of not stating their stance. A blogger from China on Wednesday then compiled a list of overseas celebrities who have not done so and posted it on Weibo. Among them were three Singaporeans - Lin, Sun and action star Jet Li, who is born in China. Three Malaysians were also on the list - singers Fish Leong and Michael Wong as well as actress Michelle Yeoh. The blogger claimed that celebrities who make money in China have to state their stance. However, several netizens did not agree with the blogger, saying that there is no need for Lin, Sun and Leong to do so since they are not Chinese citizens. The netizen also fingered more than 30 Taiwanese artistes on the list, including singers Cyndi Wang, Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai, actresses Ruby Lin, Joe Chen and Amber Kuo as well as actors Jerry Yan and Roy Chiu. Some like Wang, Chen, Kuo and Yan have since expressed support for the "one China" policy on Weibo. Meanwhile, other celebrities also found their social media posts under scrutiny because of the saga. S.H.E singer Hebe Tien had to delete two pictures of her eating spaghetti on Instagram after she was accused of supporting Mrs Pelosi, who is of Italian heritage.

Ender Hypersonic August 5, 2022 Share August 5, 2022 (edited) 18 hours ago, DOBIEMKZ said: Personally I think most probably no full-scale war between China and Taiwan; a lot of sable rattling, some aggressive postures but no actual stabbing, etc. And I think that the CCP might be even secretly delighted that Mrs Pelosi visited Taiwan at this moment. Because to the CCP, the Taiwan issue is a very good piece of sentiment- and attention-diverting tactic to deflect the current population's angst and unhappiness against the government over the bank fraud scandal, the draconian covid-19 suppression and lockdown, and the persecution of people who dared tainted the reputation of "protected" top officials, etc. Political chess-play. Made up or blow up an external crisis (actual or perceived) (or enemy) to alter people's opinion and deflect their sentiment from internal problems, and protect one's backside.

noobcarbuyer 5th Gear August 5, 2022 Share August 5, 2022 On 8/3/2022 at 5:48 PM, Macrosszero said: The Taiwanese have started receiving the first of the 66 F-16 Vipers approved by Congress during the Trump Administration. In addition, the hundred-plus A/B Fighting Falcons did receive upgrades. The Viper spec is apparently able to be retrofitted to them, including the APG-83 AESA radar. That being said, it amounts to around 300 front-line combat aircraft consisting of the Falcon, Mirage and FCK-1 (I snigger at the name just like when I say Uranus - sorry). The ROCAF lacks any aerial refueling capability and is clearly on a defensive posture catering to defending the main island. As we can see in the Ukrainian conflict, once the front line equipment is expended on both sides, it is left to the infantryman and simpler weapons to complete the job. Nice to have shiny new hardware. The question is, who are going to fly and maintain those brand new 66 F-16 vipers? At the current rate of training, Taiwan will need as many as 50 years to train enough pilots to fill the cockpits of the jets they expect to get by the middle of this decade. Even if ROC manages to solve the pilot shortage, what about the other support staff? Where are they going to find the manpower? The need for intensive maintenance is a lot more urgent, given that PRC is causing 24/7 scrambling of ROC jets. https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/taiwan-faces-urgent-fighter-pilot-shortage-as-china-tests-defences 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You have to be highly alert, and not lead to any accident with unintended consequences." im gonna assume its google translation mistake 😁 considering the ratio of population / fleet size of singapore and taiwan air force. i'd think we are in a much worse situation so either taiwan is not serious, or we are super.... i hope we r super.

Farmers too. Some of their agricultural products are now banned from PRC. Massive losses purely due to political show. Will USA being their good supportive friend now buy over their agricultural products? US agricultural sector is very protectionist, will never allow such a thing to happen. So it's just talk only. I'll believe it when I see US make up for Taiwan economic losses. As far as I can see they are only interested in pushing and selling weapons. Taiwan is being made use of just like Ukraine.
