      Taiwan is internationally recognized by ~13 states and the UK is not one or them (Reuters HQ). Taiwan is part of China, which is recognized by the UK, therefore the headline is correct…

        And half of them are microstates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_relations_of_Taiwan#Full_diplomatic_relations

        Turns out the headline is correct, but not because of anything to do with recognizing Taiwan. The ship sailed within 12 miles of the Chinese Mainland.

          It would’ve been correct either way

              It was you that initially “corrected” the headline

                … and if it was Taiwanese waters instead of mainland China’s that were breached, I could maybe be bothered to continue to argue with you.

                Yeah, upon reading the article I conceded the arguement vs the headline. Doesn’t mean I have to continue responding to you. Bye now.

      The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force’s destroyer Suzutsuki sailed into China’s waters off Zhejiang province on July 4, where China had said it would conduct naval drills, Kyodo news agency reported on Wednesday, citing diplomatic sources.

      Zhejiang is part of Taiwan?

      Oh wait, this must be part of West Taiwan, eh?
