Character

Unnamed Chinese Ambassador

Defiance erupts from the Unnamed Chinese Ambassador as he seizes the Mural Room's tense air, interrupting relentlessly to condemn U.S. arms sales to Taiwan as brazen encroachment on China's sovereignty. Dismissing the Shanghai Communiqué's peaceful mask, he counters Nancy's geo-strategic defenses and Leo's carrier justifications with icy rebuttals, his aide amplifying the illicit arsenal's scale before Leo's clampdown. Ultimatum slices through diplomacy: Taiwan's Patriot tests ignite China's CSS-6 missile fury, catapulting strait frictions into superpower brinkmanship. Beijing's unyielding diplomat, he shields territorial imperatives with calculated aggression.
