Worth noting that the Chinese ambassador also called it the Malvinas throughout, not the Falklands.

      Don't pretend that Argentina is still the Spanish Empire. They're an actual local government. And it's not a "pointless" island chain. Britain is literally drilling for oil and gas there right now.

      They're just islanders guys, pay no attention to the British navy ships and oil drilling!
