Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen is indignant at the U.N. arbitration tribunal's decision to deny China — and Taiwan — their maritime claims in the South China Sea.
Although rivals, self-ruled Taiwan and China share the same territorial claims, pitting them against other claimants, chiefly the Philippines and Vietnam.

Taiwan?!?!
How about you guys just keep what you have?

I can assure you that she still hates China, she just had to say that because everyone else is forcing Taiwan to go with the One-China Policy.
What of GWB’s buying in of the “one china policy”? You know, where everything made in the communist chinese sphere of influence is considered chinese in origin? The republicrat globalist free traitors are chomping at the bit for a chinese controlled Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, asian union.
The free traitors can’t own slaves in the west, but in Asia, it’s all up for grabs and plenty of slaves to go round.
