our main story tonight concerns Taiwan
and it's honestly remarkable that we
haven't talked about Taiwan before on
this show given it's the birthplace of
bubble tea which is delicious even
though tapioca balls sounds like a sex
move for people over 70 and especially
since Taiwan Shares are unhealthy
obsession with mascots cities there make
tons of them there is this one the
milkfish kids celebrating one area's
milkfish production and there is this
one from a region that produces bananas
which I do not want to talk about right
now in fact Taiwan makes so many mascots
that in some cities the very Act of
storing them has become a problem we
went with the city councelor to a taipe
public school following her into the
depths of a basement parking lot here
behind a door we discovered a mountain
of abandoned
mascots this is sacred fire baby from
2013 national Games held in taipe
the city government should really think
about whether it's necessary to keep
creating one off mascots oh come on
Taiwan you can't just keep making
mascots and throwing them away
thankfully at the end of our Seasons our
mascots go to live on a beautiful Farm a
fantastic Green Farm where Jeff the
diseased lung can breathe fresh air and
the polar bear with a broken penis can
get the care he so badly needs I keep
asking my producer where this Farm is
and she keeps telling me I'll tell you
when you're older I can't wa
wait but obviously the major reason that
Taiwan ends up in the news these days is
because of its relationship with China
which to put it mildly is fraught and
recently it's getting even frauer China
has long viewed Taiwan as its own
national territory China's president XI
Jin ping on Saturday all but declaring
it policy the complete reunification of
our country must be and will be realized
he said military tensions between the
two sides are soaring China Air Force
sent nearly 150 planes into taiwan's Air
Defense Zone since the start of this
month yeah they did I mean not not
exactly like that I presume in a big
stack I'm guessing they flew the planes
out one at a time not heaped on top of
each other like an air traffic
controllers nightmare the point is China
insists that Taiwan an independently
operating entity with its own
democratically elected leaders armed
forces and Constitution is actually part
of China and in no way a separate
country here was an understatement the
Chinese government feels strongly about
this so strongly in fact that when John
Cena went on a press St for the most
recent Fast and Furious movie and said
Taiwan is the first country that can
watch F9 this is what happened next
actor John Cena has apologized to China
after he called Taiwan a country
[Music]
every part of that is so weird it's
weird John Cena apologized to China it's
weird he did it for calling Taiwan a
country and it's weird to see him do it
in pretty decent Mandarin that's just
too many weird things I half expected
that shot to pan out to reveal he's also
doing a needle point of Liam niss and
kissing an ostrich honestly it would
make it slightly stranger but John Cena
is not alone here Taiwan is such a third
rail for China that it may be why
Paramount Pictures remov the Taiwanese
flag from Tom Cruz's jacket for the Top
Gun Sequel and it is definitely why the
Gap apologized for releasing this
t-shirt featuring a map of China without
Taiwan attached that shirt caused a
storm and it led to the Gap Mak because
of the Bland t-shirts that dads wear
when they're on the elliptical for 30
minutes to apologize to 1.4 billion
people so if China is getting t-shirt
retractions from The Gap loudly vowing
to reunify with Taiwan and sending
stacks of warplanes towards it in
record-breaking numbers It Feels Like
Tonight it' be worth taking a look at
Taiwan how it got to be in the unique
position that it's in what the world
wants from it and most importantly what
it wants for itself and let's start with
how we got here historically Taiwan has
been like the Stanley Cup of Asian
history and that different people keep
passing it around found and carving
