The second high-level US envoy to visit Taiwan in two months began a day of closed-door meetings as China conducted military drills near the Taiwan Strait after threatening retaliation. 9News

China on Thursday condemned Krach's visit and warned it could retaliate. It views Taiwan as part of its own territory and strongly opposes any type of formal interaction between other countries and the self-ruled island democracy.

It is one of a series of moves by the Trump administration to strengthen relations with Taiwan, including stepped-up arms sales and support for the island's participation in international forums. The frequency of Chinese exercises near Taiwan recalls the last major crisis between them in 1995-96, when China fired missiles near the island and held war games in a bid to intimidate voters in Taiwan's first direct presidential election.Taiwan said Chinese warplanes entered its airspace over two days last week during large-scale war games that it called a “serious provocation to Taiwan and a grave threat to regional peace and stability.

Senior Melbourne Uni staff warn cuts will do long-term harmAs the university prepares to shed 450 jobs in response to lost revenue, more than 200 professors who sit on its academic board say the plan could “damage our capacity to deliver on our public purposes in the short and long term”. The Ponzi scheme of bums on seats for anyone with a pulse comes to an end. I don't understand why these and other university workers are not supported with job keeper. Are they different to other workers in Australia? Ethics, morals and human rights matter!! DO NO HARM. Only selfish cowards would harm children and people with a lockdown, even if under treat. The medical advice is unethical. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO PUT OTHER PEOPLES HEALTH AT RISK, OR INFLICT NEGATIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES.
