Taiwanese* waters…
No, read the article. It’s Chinese waters. PRC territory.
Fair enough. Apologies.
The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force’s destroyer Suzutsuki sailed into China’s waters off Zhejiang province on July 4, where China had said it would conduct naval drills, Kyodo news agency reported on Wednesday, citing diplomatic sources.
Zhejiang is part of Taiwan?
Oh wait, this must be part of West Taiwan, eh?
Taiwan is internationally recognized by ~13 states and the UK is not one or them (Reuters HQ). Taiwan is part of China, which is recognized by the UK, therefore the headline is correct…
Saying Taiwan is part of China is an obvious lie. Everyone knows Taiwan is a separate country in reality, and it’s only the bullying of the People’s Republic that prevents it being acknowledged as such in an official capacity.
However, based on the article, the waters entered by the Japanese vessel were Chinese waters, not Taiwanese.
And half of them are microstates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_relations_of_Taiwan#Full_diplomatic_relations
Turns out the headline is correct, but not because of anything to do with recognizing Taiwan. The ship sailed within 12 miles of the Chinese Mainland.
It would’ve been correct either way
no one cares
It was you that initially “corrected” the headline
… and if it was Taiwanese waters instead of mainland China’s that were breached, I could maybe be bothered to continue to argue with you.
Yeah, upon reading the article I conceded the arguement vs the headline. Doesn’t mean I have to continue responding to you. Bye now.
