Hi Telegram friends!
It's very interesting to browse through the Democracy Index 2020 Report by the Economist Intelligence Unit. (It's 75 pages long!)
Having grown up in a full democracy I don't think I really appreciated the right to vote as much as I do now.
๐ฅ โ ๐ฏ Many people in different regions and countries are protesting and fighting for their right to vote (and for their votes to be fairly accounted for).
I can't imagine what that must be like.
The people of Hong Kong even lost their status as democracy due to China's political clampdown.
The least the people living in a democracy can do is to support them and spread awareness about their struggle and not support any of the authoritarian regimes (57 in total!) - may it be indirectly.
๐ฆ ๐ ๐ท The report also highlights the health of a democracy and how many democracies reacted to the pandemic with a "top-down imposition of extraordinary measures without inviting the public to express its opinion".
๐น๐ผ ๐ ๐ Taiwan became a "full democracy" and increased its rank up to 11th in the world. However it still lives under the daily threat of the Chinese Communist party, which is aggressively increasing its global dominance.
๐ Feel free to comment and discuss the report with me!

Hi Telegram friends,
Here's a thorough and objective presentation + discussion on the risk of China attacking Taiwan by the Fairbank center at Harvard university with Bonnie Glaser.
It's worth listening to if you want to inform yourself about the current situation, even if you're not an expert.
Be warned: it's about 1 hour 15 minutes long. ๐
https://youtu.be/gvHLF-1zjc0
One of the main takeaways: Bonnie thinks it's unlikely that China will attack Taiwan (based on her analysis). The audience also voted on a live poll. And about 60% agree with Bonnie's opinion.

If you're interested in the history of Taiwan, I'd recommend this 30 min. video. It's a well researched video about Taiwan's history from the 1600s to the modern time and does a pretty good job laying down the facts in an engaging, detailed and touching way. ๐ฅฒ

Hi Telegram friends,
DW released an interesting and in depth documentary about Chinas current leader Xijinping and his plans for 2049. Bit scary to think that he is progessing on many fronts and democracies are just about to wake up to his endeavor.
Hopefully by raising awareness to Xi's overwhelming complex plans will help people understand that you can't trust and deal with China like other countries.
The video is a bit long, but I definitely learned some things from it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DKIQpu4hhQ (1hr 25m)
Enjoy (as much as one can ๐ ) and feel free to discuss and share your opinion with me.

DW just released a short documentary (42min) about Taiwan and (more importantly) about the diverese people and their opinions regarding China.
Despite living in Taiwan, there were some surprising information for me.
Definitely worth watching to see how life in Taiwan is and to get a local perspective on the Taiwan Strait conflict.
