What's in The Scene ?

an abomination, an animated children's film, that has actually nothing to do with The South China Sea.

It has, for example, was always strict in police work, as well as foreign companies, Hong Kong is part of China, But has a special Status - or Taiwan governed itself, But which Beijing sees as a province of the mainland, the path is broken.

This has led to officials, and indignant Chinese social-media users go to Western companies, the "wrong" cards.
