MANILA, Philippines — Senator Risa Hontiveros's trip to Taiwan for several discussions may revolve around regional stability issues and overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) concerns, but she and Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen made sure to share a light moment.

'Pleased to welcome a delegation led by #Philippines Senator @RisaHontiveros to #Taiwan, & to introduce her to my cat Think Think.

BEIJING : A senior Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman has prompted a storm of ridicule online, after a late-night tweet where she used restaurant listings to assert Beijing's claim over Taiwan. "Baidu Maps show that there are 38 Shandong dumpling restaurants and 67 Shanxi noodle restaurants in Taipei," spokeswoman Hua Chunying posted on the social media site late on Sunday (Aug 7). "Palates don't cheat. #Taiwan has always been a part of China. The long lost child will eventually return home," she added.
