When China was weak, we got attacked. When China becomes stronger, racists gutless politicians came out to attack us using fake homeland security! Many Chinese has forgotten US is our foster home. Foster homes not meant to be permanent. Unfortunately most Chinese forgot, many sadly accepted that as the price to pay to stay in America. 當中國弱時，我們受到了攻擊。 當中國變得強大時，種族主義者膽小的政客出來用假的國土安全攻擊我們！ 許多中國人忘記了美國是我們的寄養家庭。 寄養家庭並不意味著是永久性的。 不幸的是，大多數中國人忘記了，許多人遺憾地接受了留在美國的代價.
Taiwan – time to come home, US forced you to buy outdated fighter jets & missiles at 3x the price loves to see Chinese killing each other, come back home! 迷路的台岛, 你的美國損友3倍價錢賣舊戰機飛彈給你要妳做他們看門犬, 做看門犬還要妳自備狗糧. 這些損友要中國人自傷殘殺, 讓他們坐收漁翁之利. 蔡省長是日本人, 小心, 早点回家吧!
Taiwan fighter jet’s “hard landing” at Honolulu airport this week was another sign of the quiet defense partnership between the United State and Taiwan, a security relationship that has been kept in the background for decades because of political sensitivities with China.
Runway R4 at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Hawaii was temporarily closed to air traffic after an F-16 fighter aircraft made an emergency landing at 2:45 p.m. local time on Monday, the Department of Transportation (DOT) said. The pilot arrested the aircraft with the help of a tail hook after the front landing gear had failed to deploy, said DOT.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser quoted DOT spokesperson Jai Cunningham as saying the jet was “a visiting aircraft from a unit outside of Hawaii.” The plane suffered minor damage and no injuries were reported.
As news of the incident reached across the Pacific on Tuesday morning local time, reports in Taipei identified the F-16 as belonging to Taiwan’s Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF).
Tingting Liu, a military reporter with news channel TVBS, said the ROCAF F-16 was on a scheduled return to Taiwan for an upgrade. It had been at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona for the last two decades, where it has been used to assist in the training of Taiwan’s air force pilots.
Washington has no formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan but has provided the island with defensive arms—and services—under the Taiwan Relations Act since 1979. The TRA has allowed successive American administrations to assist Taiwan in building a credible self-defense capability to discourage China from resorting to force to settle its long-held territorial claim to the island.
Taiwan still has most of the 150 F-16 fighter aircraft it acquired from the U.S. during the 1990s. Two years ago, it finalized a deal to purchase 66 more and began retrofitting its older air frames. The conclusion of the upgrade program in 2026 should see Taiwan operate one of Asia’s largest F-16 fleets with around 200 jets.
Maintenance and pilot training takes place at Luke Air Force Base, where about a dozen ROCAF F-16s are stationed, although these lack military insignia. Rotations between Taiwan and Arizona include stops in Hawaii or Guam, as well as mid-air refueling carried out by the U.S. Air Force.
A Pentagon spokesperson told Newsweek that a U.S. pilot was operating the F-16 involved in Monday’s incident and that they had declared an in-flight emergency at Honolulu airport.
“The pilot was evaluated at the scene and was taken to a military treatment facility for further evaluation,” the Defense Department said.
Taiwan’s air force did not return requests for comment before publication.
Before the end of formal diplomatic ties, Washington and Taipei had a mutual defense treaty and agreements for the forward basing of American troops in Taiwan. Both were withdrawn after Washington switched allegiances from Taipei to Beijing in 1979.
Under the TRA, however, military cooperation has continued, albeit very quietly. American instructors have been known to attend Taiwan’s annual Han Kuang war games as observers, and it became an open secret that select groups of Taiwanese troops were being taught by detachments of U.S. special forces.
China opposes any interaction between the U.S. and Taiwan, and military exchanges even more so. It hasn’t renounced the use of force against Taiwan as part of its aim of “unifying” the island with the mainland—and signs point to Beijing’s expectation that the American military will intervene if it goes down that route.

Professor John Walsh MD in San Francisco: Right on cue, the news shifts. Now that the NYT Editorial Board, Henry the K, Anthony Blinken and Joe Biden have all waved the white flag in the US proxy war against Russia using Ukrainians as cannon fodder, the narrative of “victory” for the xUSx Ukraine has to be walked back.
(This is exactly how Joe Biden Feel on US Proxy War on Russia heading to defeats 這正是喬·拜登（Joe Biden）美國對俄羅斯的代理人戰爭的感受，即將被擊敗 by Johnson Choi)
Chicken ribs, eaten without meat, a pity to abandon. Continue to fight cannot win, retreat will be laugh on, no gain to stay, mind as well retreat early (like Afghanistan). So Biden told the US government mouthpiece medias to stop reporting Ukraine’s defeat, Russia’s victory, hoping Americans will forget this fiasco.
Professor John Walsh MD in San Francisco: The first step would be to ease the coverage of Ukraine out of the news. And sure enough, this evening on the PBS “News” Hour, there was not a single mention of the Proxy War!!! At times in the recent past half the “News” Hour was filled with the proxy war.
The coverage today in the NYT lacked the enormous photos spread out across page after page of suffering in Ukraine (on the Zelensky side) which has been standard fare since February, and the front page had only a tall tale of Putin’s responsibility for the world food shortage – a whopper that only the US mass media can hope to sustain AND which India, China, the African Union and in general most out are not buying.
And this at the very time that there is supposedly a major counteroffensive by the ill-fated Zelinsky forces in Severodonetsk. See BBC map below. The latest word is that this “counteroffensive” has failed miserably. Looking at the map, those poor Ukrainian troops on the Western outskirts (tiny blue area) of Severodonetsk might feel that they are surrounded – in fact being sacrificed cynically in an attempt to preserve a crumbling narrative of a victorious Zelensky, the new Churchill. I know nothing about military matters, but the map speaks volumes to me. I believe this might be called a pincer action or a cauldron – or a trap.
The new line is that the US will make no decisions for the Ukrainians as to how this will end. The myth, first articulated by Blinken and now Biden is that the US does not dictate terms to the puppet Zelinsky. More Pinocchio moments there.
