“As a minority growing up in China, this is the real Chinese culture I dream about,” said Light, a Chinese man who married his Taiwanese partner Eason in 2025.
In 2019, #Taiwan legalized gay marriage.
From #China, Light only saw this freedom on TV. But in 2025, he moved to Taiwan and made it his own when he married his partner.
As tension between the two countries grows, Light worries he may be forced to abandon his new found freedom. https://www.counteroffensive.news/p/same-sex-couples-find-a-haven-in

Goings on in China!? The USA seems not the only one where power is being consolidated.
"The CMC, usually made up of around seven people, has now been whittled down to just two members - Xi and Gen Zhang Shengmin. That only Xi and one CMC general remain is unprecedented, according to Lyle Morris from the Asia Society Policy Institute.”

For the first time in eight years this week a UK PM will be in China for talks with its leaders.
This may be overdue, but its interesting timing; after a year in which its become increasingly clear that many in the global system are pivoting away from the US (and many choosing to approach China ti discuss their 'relationship').
The data on trade is already showing this pivot making some headway, so it will be interesting to see what Keir Starmer says about his talks!
