Taiwan warns of 'enormous' Chinese bases near its S.China Sea holding
Quick Glance: Taiwan Raises Alarm Over 'Enormous' Chinese Bases Near Its S. China Sea Holding
  • Taiwan's foreign minister mentioned that China has established 'enormous' military bases on three islands surrounding Taiwan's main holding in the South China Sea, but Taipei is not seeking to further escalate tensions in the strategic waterway.

  • Some lawmakers from both the ruling and main opposition parties have urged President Tsai Ing-wen to visit Itu Aba to assert Taiwan's sovereignty and witness a newly renovated harbor capable of accommodating larger ships.

  • China has conducted extensive land reclamation on its South China Sea islands, constructing major air force and other military facilities, causing significant concern in Washington and the region.

  • Taiwan also controls the Pratas Islands in the northern part of the South China Sea, and both China's air force and navy frequently operate nearby to assert Beijing's territorial claims over Taiwan, which the Taipei government rejects.

Quick Glance: Leo Varadkar: A Populist Who Struggled with Real People
  • In May 2002, a young party activist analyzed the defeat of Fine Gael under Michael Noonan, emphasizing that none of the former leaders were the expected messiah for the party.

  • Leo Varadkar's political legacy comprises valuable contributions, but he was never seen as a savior of the party. His ability to navigate contradictions made him a skilled politician, but he ultimately realized he couldn't balance on the political tightrope indefinitely.

  • Varadkar was described as a politician who straddled conservatism and an increasingly progressive society. Despite his rapid rise in politics and popularity during crises, he struggled to address long-term challenges in areas like healthcare and housing.

  • His popularity peaked during the Brexit crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, where he was seen as a unifying and authoritative leader. However, he failed to effectively tackle long-term structural issues in Ireland, especially in healthcare and housing, as his neoliberal views did not offer compelling solutions.
