Roger Waters also brushed aside an intervention by the host who referred to the “encirclement” of Taiwan by China during the military exercises of the last few days. “They don’t surround Taiwan. Taiwan is part of China,” the singer retorted, adding that it was “absolutely accepted by the entire international community since 1948.”
