„Na Tchaj-wanu stejně jako v ČR věříme, že lidem má být zaručena důstojnost, svoboda a lidská práva.“ Tsai Ing-wen @iingwen na konferenci uspořádané @sinopsiscz a Českým centrem Tchaj-pej o odkazu Václava Havla a společných demokratických hodnotách Tchaj-wanu🇹🇼 a ČR🇨🇿.

Xi Jinping’s running of China as a government-subsidized, export-driven manufacturing juggernaut “is not just bad for whole industries around the world; it’s also distorting China’s economy and alienating trading partners,” @MichaelSchuman argues: theatlantic.com/internationa…

Tři virální debaty na čínském internetu, tři různé příběhy – a jeden společný problém: ztráta víry v model, který měl zajistit prosperitu a legitimitu režimu. ⬇️ sinopsis.cz/cinske-viralni-d…

„Návštěva tchajwanského ministra zahraničí na Globsecu byla vcelku diskrétní, což odpovídá současným poměrům v Praze,“ hodnotí sinolog Martin Hála posun v česko-tchajwanských vztazích za Babišovy vlády. irozhl.as/BIS

CZ-TW relations under Babiš: “The new govt’s narrative is simple: Fiala tilted too far toward Taiwan, neglected CN, and harmed CZ economic interests in the process. It is an argument that is easy to communicate. It just does not fit the facts very well.” pf.org.tw/tw/pfch/13-11968.h…

“Europe–Asia relations are no longer driven solely by economics, but increasingly by security considerations.” Martin Hála today at #GLOBSEC during the panel “On Their Own Terms: The Indo-Pacific Defines Its Moment.”

This is 1984, Minority Report, Person of Interest and Black Mirror all rolled into one and cranked to the power of 1000. This isn’t sci-fi. It’s already happening. In China. Take a look at the “Dynamic Control Platform for Overseas Personnel” run by China’s Ministry of Public Security. It’s a live demo system fed with actual data on foreigners and plenty of Chinese nationals too. Real-time face recognition cameras track you walking from one block to the next. Your train seat, carriage, hotel registration, visa details, cellphone number, medical records, job info, daily routines, even how much gas you buy - all hoovered up and profiled by the system. It builds relationship models based on how often you appear together with someone on CCTV footage. It flags key personnel, foreign journalists, students, and anyone from Five Eyes countries for special suspicion. It has risk scores, fugitive lists, and statistical breakdowns by nationality. Data is pulled not just from police cameras but from private sources as well. Even ski lift access systems are not exempt - one journalist gets spotted skiing and the system lights up. Please understand that the false bogeyman of anti-Palantir sentiment in the West is pure projection. You will hear influencers and comedians (eg. Tim Dillon) clutch their pearls over @PalantirTech — a Western company building data tools that democracies can and do oversee, audit, and limit through courts, elections, and public scrutiny. Meanwhile they will ignore this. This data platform is actually official CCP infrastructure. There is no moral equivalence here.

Oficiální návštěva amerického prezidenta v Číně. „V tuhle chvíli je těch konkrétních výsledků poskrovnu. Z toho, co zatím víme, se zdá, že silně převládala gesta, rétorika a pompa,“ řekl na úvod Interview ČT24 orientalista, sinolog a ředitel projektu Sinopsis Martin Hála.

American staff took everything Chinese officials handed out - credentials, burner phones from WH staff, pins for delegation - collected them before we got on AF1 and threw them in a bin at bottom at stairs. Nothing from China allowed on the plane. We’re taking off shortly for America
