>NZ foreign minister starts publicly recognizing Taiwan and referring to them as a country
which does a group of isolated islands 2000 miles from anywhere have bigger balls when it comes to China than a military superpower? nothing against NZ, but seriously we look fucking pathetic (as usual).
It's precisely because they are such a powerless cunt that they can make such bold statements to a super cunt like china.
China knows if they fuck up NZ, it's like punting a baby across a football field and will get back publicity. So NZ can talk as much shit as they want.
Gavin Roberts
It's not about having "big balls". Only low IQ trash thinks that such kind of childish behaviour has place in geopolitics.
Bentley Young
Tai-what? You mean China?
Sebastian Johnson
what does that even mean? 'listen to her master'? isn't beijing and the ambassadors position the same?
Zachary Kelly
talk is cheap user
>New Zealand’s top three trade partners – China, Australia, and the European Union – accounted for approximately half of the total trade with the rest of the world.
Jack Wood
Okay Huang.
Brandon Flores
Maori warriors are no match for Shaolin monks, jason
Carter Brooks
Yes, he's telling basically telling the embassywoman to suck Xi's fat cock
Brody Bailey
in what world does that even make sense? the ambassador and beijings message is the same, so to 'listen to her masters' would be doing what she's already doing?
Jaxon Thompson
pretty clear groveling to the DOD to get some favorable weapons deal. which honestly they should get since they oversee such a colossal amount of area. whats another dozen P-8's and thirty or so F-35's at the this point? money printer go brrrr might as well arm the kiwis (who haven't had combat aircraft since 2000)
Daniel Ramirez
ok but which side just literally prints money with seemingly no consequence of inflation?
Hunter Richardson
>tells her to listen to her master As oppose to what exactly? I don't think many ambassadors are inclined to ignore their governments kek.
newsflash: NZ is in the five eyes. they are actually a stronger SIGINT cooperator with the american intelligence apparatus than the UK or Canada. they are a core member of the little "coalition of the willing" we prance around to all our follies. the chinese had to have known they couldn't just buy them off by buying manuka honey at 600% markups.
Jack Johnson
We'd smash you chink cunts to death Winston Peters is going to be the next Prime Minister of NZ
Virgin schizos that support the democratic progressive party believe this nonsense. Chad conservative kuomintang supporters understand they are the only China.
Andrew Hughes
>Holy See I'm assuming that's the Vatican? How important is this relationship to the survival of RoC?
Connor Nguyen
>kuomintang You mean the party that consistently loses?
Leo Gray
I am proud to call New Zealand my neighbour :)
Leo Allen
Pretty irrelevant. The most important thing for Taiwan is the informal US support.
Robert Ramirez
Think the Vatican is probably the only one with strength propping up RoC at this point. Everybody else is literally who islands and some African cunts that nobody cares about.
Jose Stewart
The party that is one of the main parties in the nation. Just because the incumbent president isnt from the kuomintang doesn't mean they consistently lose.
Lucas Williams
Burgers are still selling arms there and are legally obligated to intervene if China invades. Not that I think they're willing to go to war over Taiwan anymore given the rate of chink naval expansion for the past decade.
Daniel King
>Maori warriors are no match for Shaolin monks Pretty sure a whole crew of killers is more than a match for a bunch of dancing virgins.
Samuel Brooks
They're almost completely pushed out of the gov. Mostly because they support stronger relations with Beijing kek.
Noah Cooper
this is the only chinese aircraft carrier less than a month ago
So basically it looks like China strongk Navy will basically plateau at the same level the Soviet's did. Maybe not even that strong considering there R&D for carriers was buying a Soviet one plagued with problems.
Gabriel Adams
Wtf bros, wasn't this supposed to be the chink century?
James Gutierrez
this is a helicopter assault carrier
dont worry though, their fleet carrier is the admiral kuznetsov, which is the one that was considered a punishment to be deployed on and the CIA used to track by its visible smoke plume that was clearly visible from space.
Anthony Robinson
Alright Chen, go back to pretending every chinese military action for the past few hundreds of years weren't massive trainwrecks.
Grayson Peterson
Who the fuck cares about what happened hundreds of years ago?
Asher Morris
Even the US has made big statements recently about Taiwan
Logan Johnson
That's not what I said. You can start with their more recent ones and keep going back and its embarrassment and disaster after embarrassment and disaster. Throw onto this the military has a corruption problem Xi still hasn't gotten rid of and their tech is crap.
Sebastian Powell
Hej Ching Chong
Brandon Sanchez
We can do that too because China isn't going to fuck with us out of fear and respect.
Levi Thomas
Yes but that had consequences and the US still can't go full autistic. NZ could easily shut off diplomatic relations with China if they wanted to.
Hudson Reyes
China has never been good at war and has no modern military experience whatsoever
