For the first time in 22 years, two German warships will sail through the Taiwan Strait, a move likely to provoke Beijing. Germany joins other Western nations in asserting freedom of navigation in the region amid China’s territorial claims over Taiwan

The alternative is to let certain countries de facto claim a region because others are too afraid to call them on their BS

You do realise that Taipei’s territorial claims are exactly the same as those of Beijing. I know the western media never bother to mention it because it doesn’t align with the approved narrative but Taiwan claims the very same nine dash line as China.

you do realize that’s only because the CPR would never accept a end to the civil war with the independence of Taiwan?
The only reason Taiwan hasn’t abandoned their claims yet is because that would mean they say they’re independent, and that would lead to a certain invasion attempt by the CPR
Tank(ie) you for sharing your opinion!
How to say “I’m not worth listening to” without saying it.
NATO states only seem to hear the things that please them.
No no no. It’s not “the approved narrative”.
You need to make it sound more sinister.
There’s a bit more to it than that.
NATO is a strategic alliance lead by the US. NATO doesn’t have any feelings and isn’t pleased or displeased about anything. Instead it generally does whatever is the US believes is most strategically advantageous.
Those strategist are typically smart people who listen to all kinds of things. They’re definitely careful about what they say though and won’t go around promoting information they don’t want suppressed.
Organizations are composed of people, my friend. And people have feelings.
I’ve heard the same said of Joe Rogan.
Yes and emergent behavior goes both ways. Organizations have many properties that the individuals they’re made up of don’t have and they lack many properties that individuals have. Organizations don’t have feelings. Even in the rare cases when the feelings of the people in those organizations are homogeneous, the organizations almost never manifest those feelings without significant alterations.
Are you seriously comparing Joe Rogan with NATO strategists?
Organizations are composed of people, my friend. And people have feelings.
Dude, I love China and its people and have been there several times. I obviously don’t approve of everything but some of the funniest, most kindhearted people on Earth are in China. I’m not sure there’s a place on Earth I’d rather have a meal with some regular citizens.
But just follow The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Taipei can be wrong too. But those laws took like centuries of stupid wars and, ultimately, diplomacy, to establish. Even if you want to change them, it’ll require diplomacy and cooperation, not hosing down some Filipino fishermen.
