路上行人欲断魂
借问酒家何处有？
牧童遥指杏花村
Poem by Du Mu
Raindrops pelt down on the day of Qingming,
Passerbys on the road appear lifeless.
May I ask, where is the wine shop?
The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village that lies far, far away
(Sorry I don’t speak mandarin, but I knew it was a poem and found it on google in English. Love for chinese poetry from America ❤️)
@Joey Burt “It is that direction and far away” is good enough.
Finally, AJ news recognized Taiwan, province of China is part of China by calling Taiwanese ‘ Chinese’
@JRC 29 According to China’s development trend, it will surpass the United States sooner or later. There will inevitably be wars between China and the United States.
From the perspective of the United States, it is willing to choose Taiwan as the Sino-US battlefield because the United States would rather give China an Iraq or Syria than a peaceful Taiwan for China. In this way, even if China unifies Taiwan, it will be a mess.
China hopes to move the battlefield to the Strait of Malacca and engage in naval battles with US troops in Malacca to avoid the death of too many Taiwanese. Therefore, China is constantly building islands in the China Sea, equipped with missiles and airports. China will take the opportunity to retake the islands in the Chinese Sea, Southeast Asian countries will be affected, but the impact will be small, and US bases in Southeast Asia will be destroyed. DF missiles from China mainland will hit the US military bases in Southeast Asia one by one.
@JRC 29 *The battle between China and the United States is inevitable. It’s just a matter of choosing the time and battlefield for war. Taiwan, Malacca, choose one of the two. North Korea is already a nuclear power, and it is impossible to use North Korea as a battlefield. Taiwanese were brainwashed and Volunteer to become a battlefield between China and the United States.*
@JRC 29 *Taiwan voluntarily becomes a battlefield used by the United States, and it may really realize its aspirations.*
@金英文二世 North Korea??? Dude you talk about nukes? NK has like 30 nukes, plus NK’s navy and air force should be in a museum, not on a battlefield. Taiwanese brainwashed for desiring independence? So, Chinese were brainwashed when they wanted independence from Mongolia and Japan
@金英文二世 Throughout history certain dynasties owned part of Taiwan, but the Qing empire abandoned it because they were too weak to secure it. Then came the Cultural Revolution started by the CCP. The CCP won the Mainland during their conquest, but they never controlled or set their foot in Taiwan while the KMT was governing. How can the current CCP own Taiwan really is beyond me. The CCP should own what they have, they can’t just backtrack in history because older dynasties used to own Taiwan making them self-entitled.
Now Aljazeera should report on Mozambique Islamic terrorism…Im waiting. Lets see. You have guts to talk about Radical Islamists.👍
Aaww RSS goon
@Abdul Gaffar Shawon Awwww peaceful people spotted.
@Danté Hello my Hindu friend.
@Adam UK Im atheist bruh.
Yes, need report on Mozambique
Allah help us .
At the end of your story I’m sure you ment to say Taiwanese people, not Chinese. Get your story straight.
Taiwanese ARE Chinese
Taiwanese are all Chinese people
*Uncle Peng Liyuan (Mrs. Xi Jinping)’s family is in Taiwan. The ancestors of all people in Taiwan are on the China mainland.*
Sad
Sad RIP unexpected news
Local ung gamit ng mga taiwanis
Yung Kay panot buti minor lang di ganito
Inside job by Chinese government supporters
You know this how?
*The Taiwan Office of the State Council of China has sent a telegram of condolences.*
@Simon Tan So the government that is in charge is shown as incompetent and looses support from the residents …. then the Chinese communist party will step in and become the new government in charge.
Your Anti China arrogance sounded like a Standard Anti China narratives by Western Colonial Countries and Colonial Western media and Agencies
@Simon Tan Taiwan is a country, not a province
RIP 💐🌹
GUYS PLZ CHECK MY VIDEO ON YOUTUBE . I KNEW THERE WILL BE A TRAIN ACCIDENT IN THAT REGION . I”M GIFTED I DREAMED ABOUT EVERYTHING . THANKS BASS
Stay strong Taiwan, China.
Nice try
China? Wgere did china come from?
What
This is bullet train speed of 350 klo per hour. God bless Taiwan
This is not a bullet /high speed train. It is an express train with top speed of about 130km/hr
It is a train imported from Japan with a top speed of about 130 km/h
Horrible, Can you make graphic explaining what and how
Maiisip mo rin sa unlad ng bansa nila well maintained ang mga riles pero nagkaka accident pa rin.
Pag ito nangyari sa pilipinas impeach talaga..
Соболезную всем родным погибщих 😥😥😥🙏🙏🙏
Astaghfirullah. I hope the survivors safe now. All the prayers for you taiwan
Terrible.
the infinity of time and nothing outlasted, and the law of average good morning
For those who said make in Japan trains never have accidents are wrong, Japanese trains have three huge accidents in Taiwan these last 10 years.
RIP
ISIS, AL Qeada r students of their master Emperor Xitler and his corrupt CCP who r the biggest terrorists organisation in the world…They r carrying out genocide of 6 million uighurs by sterilizing them
Mainland China espionage / sabotage or wilful destruction of rail to put fear into the hearts and minds of Taiwanese ??
This is not an accident.
This is a well planned murder from China.
The construction truck has many doubtful points.
Your Anti China narrative is so similar to those from the Western Politicians and media
You probably think Xi Jinping is a good guy.
So sad ,RIP.
Lmao don’t know that American colony of Taiwan also make high speed trains 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇹🇼💩
Ok, ccp troll, enjoy your chinese virus
Innalillahi… hope everyone safe and this accdient never happen in the future.
This is the price Taiwan has to pay for trying to seek independence from China. I hope President Xi will use any force to unify Taiwan, including bombing and causing crash like this.
Very Sad moment. My heart goes out to the victims, and families.
I send my condolences
Too many people on board
CHINA ATTACK CONFIRM
So sad . Prayers going out to them.
😭😭🙏
This incident is a terrorist attack by the CCP that mimics the accident.
Dude it’s more likely a western efforts and then to blame China.
RIP 🙏
RIP🙏🙏🙏
Karma is real
Nothing can do…Becasue the trains were all off the rail inside a small tunnel. No chance for large engineering vehicle go into the tunnel in order to remove the trains inside this small tunnel. The truck fall into the rail from the slope near the rail. Because the truck head down to lower direction that can not stop by manual transmission box or hand brake.
Best wishes from Algeria,
This is so sad :(my sincere condolences to the family of the bereaved )
Taiwan’s latest railway system technology cannot detect obstacles ahead at a certain distance?

Chinese people? Hey Al Jazeera, wrong country . . . this happened in Taiwan.
@Kun Shun Canada is in North America, but Canadians do not accept being called American. Plenty of Ukrainians hate being called Russian. Most Asians who live abroad hate being called Chinese if they aren’t Chinese. There’s enough deliberate interference from China to make Taiwan seem Chinese (governed) that this careless use of language – reported from Chinese infiltrated Hong Kong – plays into the hands of Chinese propagandists.
@Carpe Diem Oh really? I’m pretty sure they can understand both terms anyway. I can’t even find the timestamp where they call them China
@Carpe Diem @Carpe Diem oh wow, editing your answer because you realized you’re wrong and make me looks like an idiot instead. Well played
@Kun Shun I was thinking of a different video, so, yes, I corrected my error in that regard. This reporting still refers to Taiwanese independent, democratic citizens as downtrodden communist Chinese slaves . . . so what’s the problem? Taiwanese are to Taiwan as Chinese are to China. You may apologize now.
@Carpe Diem Apologize? Why don’t you apologize to me for trying to exclude me, a Chinese ethnic that never step foot on China, from observing Qingming/Tomb Sweeping? Oh BTW, give me the timestamp they call them “CCP slave”?
God bless all involved and their families from Korea
00:07 is that an injured or dead body?
noticed the bandaged arm had movement so should be injured
What a democratic crash. Now they are REALLY FREE.
