    I think Americans should consider organizing fistfights in congress too. Half of of them would die from a hart attack, and I think that would drastically improve the overall quality.

    Would the US be as interested in Taiwan without the ability to sell them some weapons? How many Taiwanese politicians have been paid off by the Americans?

    Ah! Mr.Oliver, I think you are mistaken, as all the rest of the internet knows, Taiwan, is not a country.

    15:00 Woowwww, it’s like someone in the writer’s room thought to themselves “This video could seriously piss off about 1.4 billion people… BUT THAT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!” and went for a bonus round.

    Its about DAMN TIME more mainstream media started covering this. Thank you HBO, thank you John Oliver. The world needs to come to aid of the nation of Taiwan. Even US corporations like Activision Blizzard and freaking NBA (not to mention Hollywood and WWE etc) have become subordinate to Chinese propaganda.
