    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… 🤦🏽‍♂️

    Mostly good, but the reporter calls #Taiwan (#台灣) 🇳🇫 "#island" (#島嶼) 10 times, and only the #editor gets in the #BBC's single use of the word "#country" (#國家) to describe it. (Other uses of "country" are all by #Former_president #Tsai_Ing_wen [#蔡英文].)

    Calling #Taiwan 🇳🇫 "the island" ignores all the citizens in/on #Penghu, #Green_Island, and #Orchid_Island (#Lanyu). Many people use #island to avoid calling Taiwan a #country. 🤔

    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."
