Taylor Swift's Take on U.S.-China Defense Meeting: Shake it Off Diplomacy Style

The Chinese defense ministry spokesperson Wu Qian emphasized the need for more communication between the U.S. and China on Taiwan. I always say 'Communication is key,' just like in my albums.

Austin and Dong also talked about North Korea's antics and their role in Russia's war in Ukraine. Sounds like a messy plot line if you ask me. Where's Olivia Benson when you need her?
