  2. Can you please explain more about the One-China policy adopted by United nations and also UK ? What does it mean ? Why there is NO Taiwan ambassy in UK ? what is the official relatkonship of UK and Taiwan ? and “unofficial” ? Who will do what if foreign countries sell heavy arms to Scotland indepedence Party ? Who will do what if some foreign powers‘ army and navy sail and fly frequently constantly and ongling across English channels and North seas, claiming that they are just assuring and excerising their freedom in international waters ? who are the aggressors of WWI and WWII in Asia ? How and Why China was attacked and split up and then occupied by foreign powers for over 100 years ? What was thie history of Taiwan ? Why was it attacked, occuped and ruled by Japan, and then returned to China under United Nations agreement after the world war ? can you cover thie background sotries a bit more so that all can know and learn more ? Thanks.

  4. Please pay attention to what is happening in Taiwan. KMT(Chinese Nationalist Party) want to pass a bill to turn the Taiwan Legislative just like Hong Kong Legislative, make it easy for people to be convicted. Taiwanese are at war now. Please stand with us. 🇹🇼

  9. The UN,The US, Britain,Japan,Germany, France, Australia and their allies quickly defended the Allies of Taiwan and the Philippines against the "threat of expansion and invasion of the CCP zombies"🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇦🇺🇯🇵!(!(!(;!(!

  13. China can take Taiwan without a shot fired since they legally own the territory. But I rest easy at night knowing China's real leadership is actually located in Taiwan and this story line is solely used to gaslight the citinzery while printing themselves money hand over fist

  18. 😂😂😂 Typhoon season has just started 😂😂😂 it was a typhoon that 'saved' Japan in the 13th century from an invasion by the Mongolian army 😂😂😂 and both Taiwan and China know very well that you do not argue about tropical storms … not to speak about earthquake, volcanic eruptions etc, so it is rather natural to have your army always on standby…

  21. In 1895, the Qing Dynasty signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki and ceded Taiwan and Penghu. No longer belong to the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China. In 1952, the San Francisco Treaty, signed by 49 Allied Powers, Taiwan and Penghu had long been independent.

  32. With US draining their ammunition in supporting Ukraine, F35C still not ready, Only one US aircraft carrier in the region ….what is China waiting for?

  34. China took courage from Russia when they attacked Ukraine so they could attack Taiwan. China realized that the US and EU did nothing to what Russia did.
