A state-run newspaper in China took aim at three US senators over the weekend in editorials blasting their decision to travel to Taiwan on a military plane to deliver Covid-19 vaccines.

In an editorial published Sunday, editors of The Global Times accused Sens Tammy Duckworth, Dan Sullivan and Chris Coons of “making further provocations” aimed at angering China’s government.

“Three US senators arrived in the island of Taiwan on Sunday morning in a whirlwind visit. They took a military transport aircraft, a US Air Force C-17 Globemaster III, instead of a civilian plane that normally performs such tasks, which has received extra attention,” read the editorial’s English-language version.

...And where was the U.S. press corps and broadcast media. I hope the ground reception was huge with all the pomp and circumstance appropriate to the occasion (much larger than one of those commie May-Day things). Who cares what Peking/Beijing or the Chinese Communist Party think? Formosa/Taiwan is NOT a misguided province of the People's Republic of China and their "One-China- Policy" is just that... a policy, not a fact. Taiwan "The Republic of China" is a U.S. Ally as long as our moral compass still works. I wish they would have let Mike Pompeo fly that C-17!

Looks Like it was Well Covered by US Media Also. For the Most Part "The Independent" Get's their Stories from US News Agencies and Just Rereports them.

Illinois US Sen. Tammy Duckworth announces vaccine donation while visiting Taiwan

The United States will donate 750,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines to Taiwan, said Sen. Tammy Duckworth, one of three U.S. senators who made a brief visit to the island Sunday morning as it battles its worst coronavirus outbreak of the pandemic.

Taiwan is legaly part,of China. It was returned to The Republic of China by Japan as part of their surrender.
Someone is totally ignorant of the history of the area.
