When you're laughing about a potential world war but then you realize you're a young and healthy male ripe for conscription.

Man at this rate we will all die before we get to play GTA6

I am Chinese, I don’t want war. Peace to all citizens of all countries.

Xi declared he is planning to take Taiwan. War is not a matter of if, but when.

So apparently a pandemic is not enough to screw with the world huh. So, is this like season 3 or 4 for us? Feels like we're all in 1 massive TV series not gonna lie

“Taiwan and US both want to maintain the status quo, China does not”
Spot on

Ffs I never thought WWIII would have ‘Made in Taiwan’ stamped on its arse, there’s a very sad joke in there somewhere 🙁

I like how our lives are in the hands of a couple of people, if they decide to cry like a fuckin baby because "That Island is mine" it'll affect all of us

As a Taiwanese, I'm happy to see that westerners finally care about this issue. China has been doing this since 1996 tho.

Take a shot every time Winnie the Poop is lying

If Ros Atkins is bringing the news, you know "s**t just got real" (to quote Martin Lawrence in "Bad Boys").

I live in Taiwan. I've lived in many countries before. This place is special. China should be friends with Taiwan and not a bully. The people here don't want to live under the communist party. They prefer the democratic system that they've created.
Living in Taiwan doesn't feel like China at all.

[shillahboss]

Watching news nowadays is more scaring than horror movies.

[mrchiffy]

title should be changed. It should be Taiwan and west Taiwan.

[tedzone]

Yeah yeah yeah this is history over an over. Build the economy Build the military start taking a piece here and there. Germany 1930s Japan as well
If history repeats

[PawsThought]

Rod Atkins segments are one of the few things I like about BBC news. Very good

[MaxTheLazyCat]

everytime I see the name Ros Atkins I always mix it up with Rowan Atkinson, so I thought that Mr Bean was talking about politcal news.

[oswaldsoans]

Long live Taiwan freedom, live from India

World is waiting for GTA 6 and it seems there is going to be a WW3.
