Pravda vítězí–Truth prevails.
From Slipped Disc: “PRAGUE PHILHARMONIA PLAYS TONIGHT IN TAIWAN, SAYING FU BEIJING.”
The Prague Philharmonic Orchestra arrives in Taipei today to perform Dvorak’s New World Symphony on Taiwan’s National Day.
The orchestra has been banned from China since 2019 after the Mayor of Prague refused to recognize Beijing’s ‘one China’ policy.
At least one London orchestra has pulled out of a proposed Taiwan visit in fear of Beijing retaliation.
The Czechs have a glorious history struggling against a communist empire bully. The Londoners have gone soft.

I grew up with the ” defend Taiwan ” ethos… Miss Lee, the librarian at Riverside School, fostered my interest in China and I was all read up on Chiang Kai-shek and represented ” Nationalist China ” in our 6th grade ” United Nations’ project led my Miss Cheever. ( who had spent the previous summer bicycling about Africa) sooooo, I much appreciate the Czech’s bravery… and, quelle horror, even tend to agree with Joe Biden on the subject…
