The night before Alex Honnold will climb the #Taipei101 in #Taipei #Taiwan

A dramatic low-angle night shot of the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taipei. The tower is illuminated in teal and blue, with its upper sections disappearing into thick, swirling clouds and mist, creating a moody and mysterious atmosphere. To the left, a neighboring building features a vertical LED display scrolling the text "GO ALEX". The scene is framed by the geometric facades of surrounding buildings against the dark, cloudy sky.

@TimMaddog Also, I'm not sure the military operational level is what has held China back so far. Political and economical factors might be the bigger constraints.

Nothing has ever "held #China 🇨🇳 back" but their own inability. #Russia 🇷🇺 made weak-ass excuses to invade #Ukraine 🇺🇦 three years ago, but #Taiwan 🇳🇫 remains untouched.

Australian Greens statement on US military attack on Venezuela notes how it possibly creates conditions for China to attack Taiwan

"Trump’s assault on Venezuela provides comfort to Vladimir Putin for his aggression in Ukraine, cover for a potential Chinese attack on Taiwan and sets an extremely dangerous precedent."

🇺🇸🇻🇪🇦🇿🇦🇲 I guess we now know that military operations are acceptable and nobody really cares, as long as they’re quick (the #US in #Venezuela, #Azerbaijan in #Nagorno-Karabakh...).

🇺🇦 Seems #Russia would have just had to take #Ukraine faster...

🇹🇼 Meanwhile, the #Chinese military is probably holding a #Taiwan planning party right now - bet.

@madeindex
While you're right about #Trump making invasions "acceptable," #China 🇨🇳 has been testing its ability (i.e., "planning") to take #Taiwan 🇳🇫 for decades, and it hasn't come close to succeeding, so I'm not so sure if #Venezuela 🇻🇪 changes anything in that regard. 🤔

China’s foreign minister has told his German counterpart that Japan is threatening his country militarily after Tokyo said that Chinese fighter jets had aimed their radar at Japanese military aircraft. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/09/japan/politics/china-blame-japan-germany/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #china #germany #chinajapanrelations #defense #taiwan

I just love the society of #cuteness in #Taiwan - Off to #Bali now 🥳

This image shows the side of an airplane decorated with large, colorful Sanrio character illustrations. Visible characters include Keroppi, Bad Badtz-Maru, My Melody, and others, painted across the fuselage beneath the text “SANRIO CHARACTERS.” The aircraft is parked at an airport gate, with part of the wing and engine visible. A ground crew member in a safety vest walks nearby, and the scene is viewed through an airport terminal window.

Misty mountains in the #Taiping district of #Taichung #Taiwan

This is a beautiful sunrise scene over a city with mountain ranges in the background. The sun is just above the ridgeline, casting a warm golden glow across the sky and creating soft layers of light and shadow over the hills.

Below, the city is still mostly in the shade, with buildings, rooftops and streets barely illuminated by the early morning light. The contrast between the dark foreground and the glowing horizon gives the image a very calm, atmospheric feel — classic “Taiwan mountain sunrise” vibes. — This is a beautiful sunrise scene over a city with mountain ranges in the background.

And with this... I'm finally back home! #Taiwan

This photo shows you taking a selfie in front of a big “Welcome to Taiwan” sign at what looks like the airport.

Behind you is a large banner with cheerful airline or airport staff posing energetically, and above them the red Chinese characters 歡迎來臺灣 (“Welcome to Taiwan”).

You’re wearing glasses, a cap, and a light blue shirt, and you look relaxed and happy — a classic “just arrived” moment. — This photo shows you taking a selfie in front of a big “Welcome to Taiwan” sign at what looks like the airport.

Downtown #Taipei #Taiwan back in 2019

The image shows a cityscape at sunset. The sun is low on the horizon, casting warm orange and yellow tones that gradually fade into deep blue across the sky. Scattered clouds stretch above the city, their edges glowing golden in the evening light. In the foreground, there are mid-rise buildings with flat, metal rooftops and visible air conditioning units, while taller buildings and high-rises shape the skyline in the background. The sunlight reflects off windows and facades, giving the whole scene a calm and almost painterly evening atmosphere.
