Influencer Jackson Hinkle Calls Taiwan 'Fake Country' Belonging to China, Sparking X DebateFull SummaryOn Thursday, Jackson Hinkle's X post labeling Taiwan a 'fake country' under China drew sharp rebuttals and support, spotlighting Taiwan's limited diplomatic recognition by only 12 UN members and the Holy See amid the unresolved Chinese Civil War. Taiwan governs 23 million people democratically, holds multiparty elections, maintains a 215,000-strong military, and receives U.S. arms support, including a recent $330 million package. Public opinion strongly favors the status quo or independence, with over 80% rejecting China's 'one country, two systems' model, reflecting broader geopolitical divides. Key TakeawayInfluencer Jackson Hinkle declared Taiwan a 'fake country' that belongs to China, igniting a heated online clash viewed over 65,000 times. The post amplified longstanding tensions between China's unification claims and Taiwan's 76 years of independent self-governance. Context & EntitiesTopics

Manchester United Eye Sevilla's Lucien Agoumé as Casemiro ReplacementFebruary 27, 2026 12:31 AM Full SummaryLucien Agoumé, Sevilla's 24-year-old anchor, stands out with aggressive tackling, 49% duels won, and 84% pass accuracy in over 1,700 La Liga minutes this season. Vivell views the 6ft 1in destroyer as smart business at €30 million, despite his higher Transfermarkt value, especially as mid-table Sevilla eyes bids before his 2028 contract end. Fans highlight his edge over Casemiro in recoveries, positioning him as a shield for Kobbie Mainoo amid options like Carlos Baleba or Adam Wharton. Key TakeawayWith Casemiro set to leave Old Trafford this summer, Manchester United's recruitment chief Christopher Vivell has zeroed in on a combative young Frenchman to fill the midfield void.
