    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

      Saying Taiwan is part of China is an obvious lie. Everyone knows Taiwan is a separate country in reality, and it’s only the bullying of the People’s Republic that prevents it being acknowledged as such in an official capacity.

      However, based on the article, the waters entered by the Japanese vessel were Chinese waters, not Taiwanese.

      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
