Japanese PM Ishiba is finally stepping down after his party's defect in the Senate election 2 mths ago. The 7th shortest term of PM, with only 341 days in office as of today. With the rising concerns of immigration, will LDP suffer karaoke political leadership again?

What's wrong with the UK Gov? They keep on charging Hongkongers visa fees for ppl seeking safety, then stop funding local HK diaspora groups, and come up with this qualitative report w/ huge sampling bias? If the Labour Gov doesn't like us, just say it. gov.uk/government/pub…

After months behind bars, former Taipei mayor Ko Wen-jie is finally released. That must rock NPP's nomination for next local election in 2026. It'll also be interesting to see if the current chair Huang Kuo-chang let Ko steers the TPP again. taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/ar…

Xi’s rewriting of WWII history, where the US and Taiwan (ROC) are denied credit for their victory and contributions. World War II ended in 1945, and the People’s Republic of China was established four years later in 1949.

An initial assessment of the PLA parade that has just finished in Beijing. Overall, no major surprises although there were was some new equipment. The structure and content of the parade was pretty standard. Five key themes stood out for me however. 1/9 🧵

hongkongfp.com/2025/08/29/hon… It's sad to see the DPHK is set to disband by the end of this year. Monkey and I were co-hosts of a web TV show in 2010. He aged a lot since he steers the party as the chairman . They all gone through turbulent years since NSL.

THREAD: Indonesia has been rocked by days of mass protest, triggered by anger at a rise in legislators’ incomes. I’ve been writing with colleagues about the class gap between voters and politicians for years 👇

Met Sohee Yang (right) and her group VALID, a youth-led political think-tank, when I was in Seoul last month. Their passion for the greater good reminds me of what I've done in my 20s. Sohee is also a finalist for the @KofiAnnanFdn Next Gen Democracy Prize. All the best to her.

Apart from the 2nd round of the Grand Recall vote, Taiwanese casted their referendum ballot on resuming the operation of the island's 3rd nuclear plant. The majority favoured the motion, but it didn't pass the threshold. There're better ways to make Taiwan's energy supply…

As mild as Rebecca has her visa renewal denied by the Hong Kong Immigration Department. It shows civil servants rather go tough to show their allegiance than making any move that deem unpatriotic (& lose their jobs).

Met Dr. Yoom Kim, new @TheMinjoo_Kr MP in the South Korean Parliament back in July. He is a dedicated advocate for better healthcare in South Korea, and speak against all vested interests. Gifted him items from @ScottishHK, and hope to see him again in 2027.

hongkongfp.com/2025/08/20/hon… Hong Kong's Watergate shows how officials and civil servants can destroy the sophisticated supply vetting system in the name of allegiance to Peking. Accountability? Forget it. Another sign of dysfunctional governance as I predicted last year.

That's nonsense. The Hong Kong authorities have no power to summon foreign CGs. It is Peking's OCMFA in Hong Kong has the power to do so. This statement shows they're either stating Hong Kong holds VCCR powers as an independent state or bluffing. @FCDOGovUK should respond.
