China said Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te was spreading "heresy," hostility and provocation following a speech in which he said the island is a country and that there is historical evidence and legal proof of this. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/24/asia-pacific/politics/china-taiwan-president-heresy-sovereignty/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #taiwan #china #laichingte
Taiwan is "of course" a country and China lacks both the historical evidence and legal proof to back up its sovereignty claims, President Lai Ching-te said on Sunday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/22/world/politics/taiwan-tells-china-it-is-a-country/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #china #taiwan #laichingte

Winter Fairy Tale by Uroš Fink
A panorama of the winter Milky Way with reddish nebulae, stretching above Dobratsch. The sky was magnificent, with Jupiter and Mars shining brightly. In the foreground is a cabin.

Blossom by Ethan Su
The Yushan alpine rhododendrons are finally in bloom once again on Taiwan’s 3,000-metre-high Hehuan mountain. A solar flare from active region AR3664 reached Earth that evening, intensifying the airglow and adding an otherworldly touch to the sky. Together, these rare natural events created a breathtaking scene – vivid blooms glowing softly beneath a star-filled sky.

Weird, I never had issues to connect to my #xmpp|d from the #Philippines (also worked well from #Vietnam, #Malaysia, #China and #Taiwan) via standard ports. I only had to use other ports or #Tor in some shitty airport wifis.
