A Japanese reporter confronted Lin Jian, the Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson by saying that the fact that he cannot enter China because he visited Taiwan, proves that even China considers Taiwan a separate country!
The Chinese spokesperson was left speechless & embarrassed
9 years ago, Joshua Wong and I sang Les Mis in Hong Kong. Now the CCP is sending him to jail for a long time. We need to take down this evil regime once and for all and free the political prisoners.
@Ray_mond_Lee@Byron_Wan It’s optional and you don’t get punished for not saying the pledge of allegiance you genius. US Supreme Court also ruled on it.
China Airlines Flight Delayed More Than Two Hours After Female Passenger Reportedly Demands Business-Class Upgrade.
China Airlines flight CI521 was scheduled to depart Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) for Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) at 2:10 p.m. on August 31. However, the flight was delayed for more than two hours after a female passenger reportedly became distressed and shouted in the cabin, demanding to be moved to business class.
According to complaint from passengers on the same flight, boarding had already been completed and the aircraft had taxied around the runway and was preparing for takeoff when the woman allegedly became emotionally distressed and began shouting.
The passenger reportedly said she was experiencing a panic attack and asked to see a doctor to determine whether she was fit to fly. She also allegedly asked whether she could pay to upgrade to business class.
With no doctor on board, the cabin crew attempted to calm her and reportedly suggested that she leave the aircraft and rest until she felt better before continuing her journey.
However, passengers said the woman became increasingly emotional and allegedly claimed that China Airlines was forcing her off the plane. Some passengers on board reportedly spoke up in support of the crew, saying the staff had been trying to handle the situation calmly.
The incident resulted in a lengthy delay. Ground staff had to locate and remove the passenger’s luggage from the cargo hold before the aircraft could depart. The remaining passengers were left waiting on board as the situation was resolved.
The aircraft eventually closed its doors and departed at around 4 p.m., more than two hours after its scheduled departure time.
The incident left many passengers frustrated, particularly as the unexpected delay could affect connecting flights, business appointments and holiday plans.
While passenger safety and wellbeing must take priority, the incident also highlighted how a single unexpected situation on board can affect an entire flight.
POV: The “business-class upgrade” trick worked last time. This time, they said NO. Please consider the other 200+ passengers — all paid for the delay.

The average Canadian has never looked at a map of their own country.
Line 9, which supplies nearly all of Ontario and Quebec with their oil, runs through the United States before re-entering Canada through Southern Ontario.
Years ago, the Canadians had an opportunity to build a new pipeline named Energy East that would have supplied Eastern Canada and the Maritimes with Albertan oil without entering the US.
The Liberals killed the project.
Shutting off Canadian energy to America means shutting off energy to Ontario and Quebec too.
So congratulations on destroying your own country and ruining whatever leverage you had. I'm sure it made you all feel morally superior at the time though, so maybe it was worth it.
