Today's Irish Independent mentions Taiwan for the first time that I've seen in months. There has been nothing on the threats against Taiwan by China, but today the Independent has a short article on the supposed shift (there isn't one — a breaking of silence is the most you could call it) by the White House on Taiwanese independence.
I can understand why the US or Ireland or any state might tread warily when dealing with the China-Taiwan issue. However, I can't understand why the Irish media is so reticent in talking about the Chinese threats.
