Free world must embrace Taiwan
By Ted Yoho
Former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo delivered a very short, succinct and accurate speech in regards to the US relationship with Taiwan in November last year. This information has again angered Beijing, which has stated that the existence of a free and independent Taiwan will not be tolerated. Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Wang Wenbin (汪文斌) has said Pompeo’s language is interfering with the sovereignty of China.
Pompeo was stating the facts. Taiwan has never been a part of the People’s Republic of China or the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), therefore it is not a territory of China. The history outside of CCP propaganda and interpretation is clear on this.

Building has finished at M+, an ambitious new museum of contemporary Asian visual culture located in Hong Kong s West Kowloon Cultural District. Our opening preparations are in full swing, said Suhanya Raffel, Museum Director at M+, where the installation of works is now underway.
Initially slated to open in 2017, the museum faced numerous construction and bureaucratic delays and will now open late this year. Over a million people attended the 85 public activities M+ has organised since 2012 while waiting for the building to be completed.
The West Should Learn From Hong Kong’s ‘Painful Lessons’ With the CCP: HK Lawmaker in Exile If those who enjoy freedom don t speak out, then no one else can
Self-exiled former Hong Kong lawmaker Ted Hui has warned that Western nations need to heed the lessons of Beijing’s takeover of the city, saying despite the many extensive trade ties to China, democratic nations had to see through the façade and take firmer action against the tyrannical regime.
Motivated by a desire for Hong Kongers to be free while ignoring potential risks to his safety, Hui is in Australia hoping to galvanise support for his people, and is due to meet local parliamentarians and Hong Kong community members to accelerate efforts at developing a safety net for those fleeing the communist crackdown in the former British colony.
