    By using the phrase "toward 🇨🇳," you misleadingly make it sound like 🇳🇫 is the aggressor. Taiwan fired the rockets at targets 9 km offshore, but China's nearest point is 160 km away from . 😡

    📢 Dear #Taipei_Times editors,

    😱 If that #language is "commonly known as #Taiwanese," why do you always initially identify it as "#Hoklo"? 🤦🏽‍♂️

    💔 Love,

    You mean to "contrast" it with something that doesn't actually need contrasting? (Try calling it [just plain] #China 🇨🇳, and see that people will understand you perfectly.) 🤔

    #China 🇨🇳 is not "the #mainland" (it's just a tiny *part* of it), and most of #Hong_Kong 🇭🇰 isn't even an "#island."
