Wonder if the Pro Hamas Uni students in the UK will protest Chinese aggression?? 🤔
Why does she look so happy about it🤔🙃
Taiwan belongs to China
Cause China's the big one
Keep your eyes open USA…. don't be lured in. I see a pattern.
Ukraine
Gaza
Taiwan
Taiwan never belonged to China, never.
The PRC needs to understand it has to stop bullying its neighbors
Remember when Putin said they was playing war games with Ukraine. Turned into a special military operation 🙄
Bidens a coward and abandons his allies and his people. That's why it's happening
Yet another potential drain on America's stock of weapons.
Russia, Iran and now China all testing the patience of America and its allies.
Opposition to The One True God and His Son Jesus Christ is quite evident.
Such war games were never part of Man's mandate from God.
Certain 'leaders' just playing the role of Satan's puppets.
Uncle Dam and associates won't help Taiwan,instead run for Isra,and Ukraine with all help,😂😂😂,
Where are the activist's????
This is pure oppression and bullying of the people. Taiwan never belongs to china and will never be. The Taiwan and Chinese are two different people and can be mixed. Taiwan and China can be partners but not under imperial bullying Chinese. The world is ready to defend them at anytime.
Ww3 coming by looks of it
China is the one that brokeaway lool. Do people know history??
Weird..where are all the muslim on this they buried their head in the sand when israel not involved, same on the ukraine war
Because China is just a Communist country and that's what Commies do.
