Chinese tourists allegedly interrupted a protest in Taiwan held by Hong Kongers, knocked down several flags and shouted: “Taiwan and Hong Kong belong to China"
Hong Kong democracy activists were holding a demonstration as Tuesday was China’s National Day.
A video posted online by civic group Hong Kong Outlanders shows a couple, who are allegedly Chinese, during the demonstration.
“Today is China’s National Day, and I won’t allow the displaying of these flags,” the male yells in the video before pushing some demonstrators and knocking down a few flagpoles.

“Today is to commemorate Hong Kong’s martyrs. We do not celebrate China’s National Day,” it quoted a demonstrator as saying. “We are in Taiwan, and people are free to express their opinion.”
Taiwanese independence advocate Lee Wen-pin (李文賓) and the man reportedly pushed and slapped each other.
“You cannot touch other people’s belongings… We are asking you to leave now,” Lee said, before he called the police.
The man refused to leave and kept saying that “China has sovereignty over Taiwan,” and that “Taiwan and Hong Kong belong to China.”
“Taiwan belongs to Taiwanese, and Hong Kong belongs to Hong Kongers,” the demonstrators said in response.
Later, police officers arrived at the scene and persuaded the couple to leave.

Hey, what’s the name for a hyper-nationalist state obsessed with heirarchy, irredentism, state-backed industry, and cultural and ethnic hegemony?
Texas?
You ain’t wrong
What industry?
Texas is mostly oil money
And calculators/bombs
Ranch dressing
Traveling to Taiwan to cry about them not being slaves. Someone is going for the social credit combo multiplier.
Yup! That’ll persuade people,
Chinese nationalists don’t try to persuade people. Their goal is to overpower you (physically or verbally) because they think it will force submission out of you.
It’s called “Wolf Warrior diplomacy”, named after a popular Chinese military film franchise.
It’s known locally as the “Hexbear Technique.”
Edit: To the person who flagged this as a low-effort joke, I can’t lie. But I did laugh out loud.
Doesn’t seem to have worked, either. FTA:
Later, police officers arrived at the scene and persuaded the couple to leave.
Well, nobody ever said Wolf Warrior diplomacy is successful in achieving one’s geopolitical objectives. But it does make the person doing it feel powerful.
Typical entitled behavior from citizens of the world’s most disgusting totalitarian regime.
Just kick them off the island. Literally. Without involving a boat or plane.
Like a trebuchet?
Involving a superior siege engine sounds extremely fun.
In this case perhaps a catapult would be better, it may be inferior but as such it will involve a longer swim back home to lesser Taiwan
Don’t you mean the “Communist-occupied unfree area of the Republic of China”?
Western Taiwan
The term I used is an official term used by the Taiwanese government.
+50 citizen score.
Classic Chinese tourists.
Everyone wants to be israel
DAMN SON
If the American tourists don’t get fucking cracking, they’re going to lose their title as “Most annoying foreigners that treat the locals like shit” title to Chinese tourists. I think they’ve already lost that battle in SE Asia.
Belong to China
Wait, don’t you mean, a part of China?
Cities and counties aren’t property…right?
Big dick energy
That’s actually their head, but I can understand why you thought it looked like a dick.
