    The "they" in your post sounds like you're talking about "#Taiwanese 🇳🇫," but I think you specifically mean the *pan-blues*. 🤔

    Uh, it wasn't a "blackout." They just reduced speeds, and only of *mobile* devices. 😡

    If you call the #language "#Tâi_gí" in the headline, why use the inaccurate "Hokkien" in the body of the article? (How do you say "truck" in each of those separate languages?")

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

  5. I'm not calling them "fake media," but they're absolutely wrong about this… #CNN doesn't know shit about #Taiwan 🇳🇫. The #US' 🇺🇸 so-called "one #China 🇨🇳 policy" does NOT "recognize" that Taiwan belongs to the #PRC. It only *acknowledges* that China holds this position. I thought CNN knew better… 🤦🏽‍♂️

    Don't say "#Taiwan 🇳🇫 island." (That's what #Chinese 🇨🇳 want you to say.) Say "one of Taiwan's outlying islands."

    Is there an editor in the house? Look at the first two words of your headline. Read them aloud if you have to. 🤦🏽‍♂️
