MATT HO: Mainland China has banned imports of pineapples from Taiwan 🍍








CHRISTOPHER BODEEN: The crew are Taiwanese and Indonesian.
SCOTT RITTER: Taiwan's future is certain – it will be rejoined with mainland China on terms determined by mainland China.

ERIC TAN~W: The Philippines should follow soon.




VALERIE M. HUDSON: Taipei must realize that it cannot count on the Americans to undertake any competent post-deterrence planning. And Beijing now knows the same.

SARAH B.: most can't handle your truth.
ERIK KOLACEK: I hope we can still be friends, because your blog is the truth.





John D.: In a Buddhist context, the staff is a pilgrim's staff or a monk's staff, which the deceased will use on his journey. In the folk tradition, the staff may represent fertility (phallic?) or generational continuity (which, after all, depends on fertility), or it may offer a kind of companionship to the deceased in his grave. Sometimes the staff is stuck straight up on top of the grave mound, making it a kind of lightning rod to attract the spirit or gods. The staff then also mimics the chopsticks stuck into the rice.
