Folks should add Taiwan to their maps then offer to do a swap.

Israel does a lot of war crimes, but China, home to Foxconn suicide nets and concentration camps in Xinjiang... is not the country to be doing vexillological activism.

Its just a local censorship I'm sure, not a specific diplomatic move.

The war is a hairy political subject. Beijing does not like hairy political subjects.
