Peeni Henare, the Defence Minister, has opened his Twitter gob and inserted both feet with a comment that in all likelihood will cause a diplomatic incident, all so he could score a cheap political point against David Seymour:

Just a few days ago a Hollywood actor, John Cena, had to [issue a grovelling apology for calling Taiwan a country](https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/05/25/establishment-media-begins-backtracking-coronavirus-origin-questioning-trump-right/?ref=goodoil.news). This shows the malignant influence of China in Hollywood.

Whilst I have no problem calling Taiwan a country, it demonstrably is, it is quite another matter for a Defence Minister and member of Cabinet to break from the One China policy that shackles our Government.

Madam Wu is probably shouting down the phone at **Nanaia Mahuta** about the grave insult to China. Expect a crawling and abject apology from **Peeni Henare** very soon, for daring to correctly call Taiwan a country.
