Upgrading Taiwan’s rep in DC to a Representative Office has backing of Kurt Campbell, White House Asia adviser. Plus request had wide support inside the National Security Council and from state department Asia officials. Clear provocation to Beijing. ft.com/content/07810e… https://t.co/efmBTUgizA

As El Salvador’s government performed its air drop of $30 in bitcoin, lines formed at ATM to withdraw actual dollars. If you were at the back of the queue you lost out as bitcoin value fell in course of the morning. ft.com/content/842415… https://t.co/vMKP9YiDah
How crowded space is depends on the altitude of the orbit. It is going to get more expensive to insure satellites! ft.com/content/d8ea26… https://t.co/pTZJ485xBn
