Taipei replica in remote Chinese province fans Taiwan invasion fears
The satellite images show a detailed replica of the heart of Taipei – albeit surrounded by the arid landscape of Inner Mongolia instead of Taiwan’s lush vegetation.
First posted on social media by a Taiwanese data analyst, on March 26, they were later picked up by the website Taiwan News, under the ominous headline: “China creates Taipei mockup to train for invasion”.
FRANCE 24 was able to verify the existence of the mockup, located some 1,200 kilometres west of Beijing.

Silent home
I often lack the fitting words, like a silent observer in a busy world. It has always been my belief that silence often says as well as the endless chatter that surrounds us. In this world where people talk incessantly I find more exhaustion than enrichment. Their words shower down on me like a constant rain and I seek refuge in silence. Again and again I am drawn away, far into the unknown. There, where language falls silent, lies a peculiar form of peace, and in the distance I recognise home.

Bobo poked his head out the window driving through Taibei
Bobo liked to poke his head out the window when driving through Taibei. Sylvia's family dog was the friendliest I ever met, he too accepted me, the Westerner, as family.
In the car every now and then he'd sneeze and was clearly enjoying every second of the ride, as you can see. This is an old photo from 2004.
EXIF may tell you an SP-2000 Fujifilm machine digitized the film; boy was I a frequent customer in that small photo shop when in Taiwan. Friendly staff was surprised and happy I came by often with new rolls of film. Getting a CD from each cost almost nothing extra (100NTD maybe? Less than 3€) and I got these early photos from my Canon SLR in acceptable quality.
