Katie Wilson, a self-described socialist, defeated incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell earlier […]
China remains infuriated by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s statement last week that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would threaten Japan‘s “survival” and would thus justify military engagement to defend Taiwan.
