advocating for Taiwan’s inclusion in the United Nations."
Just say you reconize taiwan at the UN not say you support countries backing them but say it yourself publicly lol
“Which country did boba originate from?” “What country is the freest in Asia?” And perhaps most crucially, “Do you support Taiwan’s participation in the UN?”

. “Should the commander-in-chief be so easily persuaded by an influencer?”

Less than fifteen minutes later, Fox News cut to a commercial for TikTok which promoted the app as a useful tool for small, rural businesses.

“TikTok is a fantastic platform for DIY,” declared a woman in the commercial. “If you’d have told me three years ago that I would own my own business and be expanding into a separate building, I would’ve told you you’d lost your mind.”

The ad then concluded with the slogan, “TikTok Sparks Good.”

Ah, yes, a PLARF division stationed in Japan deploying DF-41 ICBMs on the N700-series Shinkansen somewhere in Honshu.

This picture conveniently omits one of the main drawbacks of rail mobile ICBM that held back their use in China:
What are you going to do about the overhead power line when you use one of these?

When Russia and North Korea does it they use diesel locomotives in non-electrified part of their network, there's not exactly a lot of those left in China. It may be possible to come up with a mechanical device that could brush aside the powerline temporarily for the duration of the launch but that's just adding more complexity to an already complex system.

The other drawback is the ICBM train by their nature must move about the network in an irregular pattern as their survivability depends on it. That might work for Russia where they have a lot of track in the far east with little traffic, but China's railway network is heavily used and there's nothing that disrupts all that carefully organized time table more than a train that moves about randomly according to some secret schedule that's not under the control of National Railway Administration.
