This has been an extremely informative post!

I found your substack via Noah Smith's promotion of it.

Living in the US I have sensed the tension over Taiwan heating up and was interested in hearing a Taiwanese perspective. So thank you for starting this Substack!

I agree. Trump was disgusting on many levels. I was disappointed, but not surprised, to see "Mister Ma" elected and re-elected. Ko is a looming danger. I appreciate your logic. Thanks for this post.

Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the KMT war room when Hsiao Bi-Kihm dropped that Tweet from the inauguration. Such a smooth move.

Thank you for writing this Angelica! I've been telling my friends that this would be the case that Biden would stand by well on Taiwan and do so for the right reasons whereas Trump and the Republican party would not. Also, am Chinese naturalized to American citizen so pretty satisfied with the lack of dog whistles from this new president if I say so myself.
