Considering how the murder of a pregnant girl in Taiwan got manipulated into a call to riot in Hong Kong, I'm hardly surprised.

While Sun Tzu is rolling in his grave, there are quit a few British schools and Councils for China to hit back.
I had no idea that Tanzania was a German colony.
India is not a modernized nation at all, it fails at the most basic aspect of a modern state: Nationalism.What I find remarkable, and gets me going, is that the Indians, even some of them on this board, who crow about how West can unite people and countries against China. That way China is always getting the short end of the stick because everyone is aligned against it.
Then when the Russia Ukraine war broke out, and the energy sanctions created some imbalances and deals, instead of aligning with the West, the Indians were first in line to buy the most Russia oil more than anyone else.
Then the next day, the Indians would crow again about how everyone is going to be aligned against China, under the good stead of American leadership.
At least they are sort of original in their act.
Yes, you heard me right, Indians may project a nationalist facade outward, but projects an ultra-regionalist, exclusionary tone inward, the South made it part of their identity to not understand and integrate with the north, and everyone (regardless of political leanings) shits on the poorest provinces and openly hurl vile insults to people from those places, they are dismissed as hopeless and beyond helping(even tho they consist of one-fourth of India's population), infact it might be unlawful to forcefully help them from outside those states.
Nationalism or nation building isn't just being suspicious of foreigner, it is also about building a country that places national interest above regional ones(assuming the national agenda is actually good for the nation as a whole). The BJP is most successful thus far at forging a national identity, but it honestly fails at everything else and leans hard into tying religion into nationalism, which is a doomed path.
Isn't HiPP a Swiss baby products company?
Hmmmm, well Macron better get moving arranging that trip. Too late too late will be the cry when the man with the bargain has walked you by.
Lol the French can kill switch the Airbus that the German delegation are flying. Lol.
In an ideal situation, the French brings out their Concorde and overtakes the German plane to arrive at Beijing first. Lol.

Calling it out properly. If the West care so much about Taiwan first they should reverse the betrayal they committed in the 1970s. Around 45 years ago they unilaterally severed all official connections to Taiwan and went as far as saying PRC was the only legitimate government of China. These visits by probably lobbied parliamentarians are negligible in comparison. Conducting foreign relations is unconstitutional for parliamentarians in many Western countries in the first place. Taiwan would be better served by putting those dollars into SAMs. Twitter likes don't give you independence.
