It is an Island.

China does not recognize them as a nation and they are under constant "threat" of invasion.

The Taiwanese navy has accident blown a fishing vessel out of the water with a nuclear missile. The horrifying training accident has been blamed on poor discipline and a failure to follow protocol. A fishing captain died in the incident.

Taiwan doesn't have nukes, this is a missile that's "nuclear" in the sense that it is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead but there wasn't one on it (because again, Taiwan doesn't have nukes)

The Express is the most shamelessly click-thirsty UK tabloid, they make the Daily Mail look like the Times

It is pretty sad when the comments contain better information than the article.

On second thought, it is partially true

I guess China's position is that their own name took out this captain...

I found it a little bit suspicious that some on the ship were "wounded". If it had been a nuke hitting a boat, I think they would have been "melted".

That's file footage bro - not footage of the actual incident.

Don't get your panties in a wad.

The headline says nuclear missile but the story says conventional.
