#One China

one china

As of June 18, 2023, US Secretary of State Brinken is visiting China (=Chinese Communist Party).

China often tries to justify the armed annexation of Taiwan by saying "one China", but if it is "one", China should have no complaints even if Taiwan annexes mainland China by force.

There are examples where a small country beats a large country (with a large area). Like Greece defeating Persia, Japan defeating Russia, and so on.

It all depends on the country concerned and what concentration the gentleman is in.

ひとつの中国

２０２３年６月１８日現在、アメリカのブリンケン国務長官が中国（＝中国共産党）を訪問している。

良く中国は「ひとつの中国」といって、台湾の武力併合を正当化しようとするが、「ひとつ」であるなら、台湾が中国本土を武力併合しても、中国には文句はないはずだ。

小国が（面積の広い）大国に勝った例は、ある。ペルシャを負かしたギリシャ、ロシアを負かした日本などのように。

要は、当事国に、ジェントルマンがどれほどの濃度でいるかにかかっている。

China's military drill

China held two days of large-scale military drills surrounding Taiwan last week, in what it called 'punishment' for so-called 'separatist acts' days after the self-ruling island swore in a new democratically elected leader.

nico rosberg really is the best f1 commentator currently because not only does he actually know what he's talking about but he's not afraid to make bitchy little comments and wax poetic about lewis hamilton like what more do you want

US policy in Endo-Pacific, Taiwan looks to be doing more harm than good, reports suggest

The United States has long been committed to supporting Taiwan and maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. In recent years, however, the US policy towards Taiwan has become increasingly complex and contentious, reflecting the growing strategic competition between the United States and China in the region. At the heart of the US policy towards Taiwan is the “One China” policy,…

ok this sounds insane but in 2018 i went to a few carnivorous plant talks at the botany conference in minnesota. i got caught up in conversation with one of the guys there who was a huge nepenthes guy who told me a story about another collector in the pacific northwest who'd been buying poached plants, like a huge amount, and eventually got staked out by the fish and wildlife service and arrested and had all his plants seized and went to prison for it. idk if i ever talked about this on this blog before-- i know i liveblogged a lot from that conference but cant remember what all i posted-- but ive avoided talking about it since then because i was never able to find like, news articles or anything covering it, but behold.... we now have proof it was real, and im like 80% sure this was this guy he was talking about. the raid happened in 2016 and they'd been staking them out since 2013. he had nearly 400 plants and had been sourcing many of them from poachers in indonesia and borneo.

remember folks: poaching happens with plants too! it's a huge problem not only in carnvirous plants (nepenthes especially, which this piece is dedicated to talking about) but also in native plant populations in the US, including native carnivorous plant populations (north and south carolina's venus fly traps, california's darlingtonia, and sarracenia from the east coast), native orchids (historically one of the most poached categories), desert plants/cacti/succulents, and slow-growing woody ornamentals (cycads, for example). never buy bare-root plants off ebay or facebook! your best bet is local nurseries (which usually purchase farm-raised plants that do well in a wide range of conditions, and as a result have a healthy population in the wild) or specialty greenhouses (more expensive, but at least in the case of carnivorous plants offer young plants bred from established adult plants in-house, raised in captivity).
