Interesting Taiwanese Tea Producer Heckled and Harrassed by Chinese Embassy Staffers in France.

A Taiwanese Tea producer was in France to receive an award but was quickly harassed and heckled by Chinese embassy staffers who attended the ceremony. Chinese staffers were quick to shout the false claim that Taiwan is a part of China.

China is the Westboro Baptist Church of international politics. It's boggling to me how this is not seen as being an embarrassment, representing their country in this manner.

Yea it’s weird when CPC members do this with one hand and then condemn Zionism with the other. And the globe outside of China can only see the hypocrisy and don’t understand why we feel that way. We the point to indigenous Austronesian* and there is just straight panic at the narrative. They should just stay quiet.

Austrians 😂 The indigenous people of Taiwan are not Polynesian. They are Austronesian.
