Summary

A Canadian warship passed through the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, prompting China to condemn the move as provocative and destabilizing.

Chinese military forces have been deployed to counter the perceived threat.

The passage follows recent crossings by two US vessels, with Taiwan’s defense ministry asserting that the strait remains international waters and a symbol of regional openness.

      Hey now, maybe he just really loves billionairs and wants them to have tax breaks even if it means a bunch of clowns run his country into the ground.

        Are there any female authoritarian leaders? I can’t think of any current ones, so it may be simply descriptive instead of sexist/homophobic.

            holy shit dude what doesn’t offend you?

            and the fact that you have nothing negative to say about authoritarians shows enough where your bitch ass stands.

            absolute clown.

            I didn’t use it at all. I just pointed out that it’s only sexist/homophobic if other arrangements are given a pass, while the male-male arrangement is used in a pejorative manner. (On an unrelated note, it’s a fun fact that we can now safety assume that you are a male. I’m curious what the male: female ratio is among tankies). If anything, it’s the s+m community that should be offended, since the phrase implies that being the sexually submissive partner is inherently bad.
