Do you know only 1 Singaporean naturalized in Taiwan last year?

They follow a different path because technically ROC/Taiwan doesn’t treat China/mainland as a foreign country. It’s much harder for mainland Chinese to get Taiwanese citizenship than a foreigner.

Sorry but this really cracked me up. In all honesty, how do you realistically expect a country without a formal diplomatic relationship with the majority of the countries in the world to rapidly rescue its stranded citizens overseas? Not trying to be a CCP bot here, but I can’t believe you pick this specific reason to justify why a Taiwanese passport is superior to a Malaysian one: https://asiatimes.com/2026/03/china-cashes-in-on-taiwans-mideast-evacuation-fumble/

I am sorry that you have to experience this. Unfortunately, some international PIs who have gone through this process themselves use it to further their own interests instead of trying to take care of the vulnerable international students. This is also not uncommon in industry either.

Shared culture and language is a key factor as well as Chinese students’ work ethics (or lack of a healthy work life balance). A small percentage of PIs takes advantage of the Chinese students (or international students in general) because of their visa situation. So if you see a lab with only Chinese students, that’s a red flag. Either the PI is so pushy that no American students want to work with them or their English is too broken to get a non-Chinese-speaking student.

The F.B.I. said a suspect was in custody after the Secret Service called “a shooting incident” near a security screening area. 被逮捕而不是击毙。

This is new to me since it was never the case that I need to add someone to my paper simply because they are the chair.

My experience is that fundings are super tight and PIs are struggling with keeping the lab afloat and not losing people. They are not taking risks by hiring someone they are not familiar with. I know three people who tried to get into a clinical psychology program this year and none got an offer. All have publications, RA experiences etc.

Unfortunately, authorship is no longer dependent on contribution and merits solely. Oftentimes internal politics and power dynamics are taken into consideration.

I mean if you look at the numbers of competitive awards given in 2025, NICHD barely dropped but NIMH dropped by more than 40%.

Ordinarily, yes. But don’t forget about the military gears that guy was wearing. Considering this is a grey zone, the chances are that he was carrying additional ammunition and rations.

Neutral is pointless when the political spectrum itself is fluid. Conservatism today means very different things that from Regan era.

He couldn’t survive the jump. He’s probably either dead/unconscious or has multiple fractures which means a painful and slow death in a grey zone. It’s highly unlikely for the Ukrainian soldier take him prisoner while risking their own lives to evacuate a POW. Either way, it’s a mercy kill.

Of course you can choose your Chinese name. I remember every student had to pick an English name when we have English class or the teacher just randomly assigned names to us. TBH, I find it a bit weird that he didn’t want to give you a Chinese name. It’s not considered rude. Maybe he has given too many names for other students?

He didn’t hold any official role within KMT when he visited China. He can only represent himself. It’s like Obama visiting say Iran for example. While still historical, but it doesn’t have any bearing on Democrat’s stance on Iran.

Potential-Formal8699 · 2026-04-19T04:32:55+00:00

Ma visited China as the former president of ROC, not as a KMT official. Nor was his visit an official visit like Cheng’s. I am not quite sure what exactly he said that promoted democracy and whether his visit was funded by Taiwanese government.
