I can't help but feel like this is a loyalty test by Trump. If Italy complains about this obviously controversial move, Trump will see this as a reason to retaliate and if they don't complain, it begins to normalize this kind of awful behavior.

That's so weird/trashy that china "controls" a whole breed of animal.

Look at this nonsense you're spewing. It's clear that china is threatening Australia and any country who interferes with what they consider a domestic issue, but anyone who isn't a sinofascist understands is two independent nations who should stay that way and work on improving the world; not killing people.

This isn't a "china bad" or "sinophobia" issue. It's a being a decent human issue.

Yeah, China should definitely subjugate Taiwan to fend off those Americans who have no intention of attacking China and who have benefitted from trillions of dollars of trade from the US.

Wtf are you talking about? Imperialist China just finished encircling Taiwan in a "defense exercise"

No.

I live in Estonia. It does use 1520mm gauge rail, but it has been completely modernized. A new high-speed line based on the European gauge is in development, but it will be a while before that's done.

I live in one and the infrastructure is great. Could use better train service, but it's modern and nice.

That is completely untrue. Even Russia conducts its exercises mostly professionally and I don't object.

If you think what China is doing is a defensive exercise, you are so biased that you are unable to see reality. They are encircling sovereign territory and practicing for a land invasion and blockade to subjugate the Taiwanese people and steal their land. I would like to hear your explanation for how https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLA_Navy_landing_barges are defensive in nature.

The weapons that Taiwan has purchased is a direct response to Chinese imperialism, aggression, and threats. Taiwan is not threatening Chinese people, but the opposite is not true.

Are you mentally ill or something? That was a defensive exercise and this has nothing to do with race.

Former SSRs are doing much better now than when they were vassal states and resource producers for Moscow.

In this case, the incursion occured over a border that splits a river down the center. As much as I'd like an actual giant wall to keep Russians out so they can stop causing problems, it's not logistically feasible.
