Taiwan: Baerbock, Macron comments raise questions on EU ties

First, France’s Macron said Europe shouldn’t follow the US on Taiwan. Then, Germany’s top diplomat said France’s China policy reflected the policy of the EU as a whole. How are these comments seen in Taiwan?

France’s Emmanuel Macron has prompted backlash by saying that Europeans should not be “followers” of either US or China when it comes to Taiwan and urging for more EU autonomy in international policy.

His statements came as China was conducting a massive three-day military drill around the self-ruled island, which Beijing sees as a part of its own territory. On Wednesday, Macron said he was standing by his comments and that “being an ally does not mean being a vassal” of the US. At the same time, he emphasized that France supported “the status quo in Taiwan” and was in favor of solving the situation peacefully.

Bill C-11 will create ‘surge’ in Crap Canadian TV shows no one watches, say internal government memos

Bill C-11 will create ‘surge’ in Canadian TV shows, say internal government memos

The online streaming bill will lead to an $86-million annual “surge” in new Canadian TV production, and may lead to more TV and film being classified as official Canadian content, internal Heritage Department documents predict.

The papers, obtained by University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist under access-to-information laws, also reveal that YouTube is the only social-media platform likely to come within the scope of bill C-11, which will modernize broadcasting laws to cover streaming platforms.

No one watches CanCon now, are they suggesting they’ll force us to because everything else will be blacked out?

South Africa: the forgotten nation

Vladimir Putin’s ongoing brutal war against Ukraine. The Chinese Communist Party’s continued aggression in our region. An upsurge in violence in the conflict between Israel and various Palestinians factions. Each of these conflagrations have rightfully drawn the attention of students within international affairs.

Yet there is a forgotten international calamity that has been neglected, certainly in the West.

I Was Canceled for Saying Sex Is Real

“I stand by my words.”

In 2006, I visited New York City for the first time. A member of the city’s cultural cognoscenti flew me over, on the strength of one blog comment I had left, to participate in a colloquium on the digital transformation of society. That experience left me with an indelible love of the Big Apple: the beating heart of intellectual life in America—and the world. It’s a sleepless, restless, questioning place, where you could find yourself bantering about metaphysics with someone over pizza at 3 a.m., then never see him again.

Alien motherships: Pentagon official floats a theory for unexplained sightings

The official in charge of a secretive Pentagon effort to investigate unexplained aerial incursions has co-authored an academic paper that presents an out-of-this-world theory: Recent objects could actually be alien probes from a mothership sent to study Earth.

In a draft paper dated March 7, Sean Kirkpatrick, head of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, and Harvard professor Avi Loeb teamed up to write that the objects, which appear to defy all physics, could be “probes” from an extraterrestrial “parent craft.”
