    Yeah, probably not worth giving them the benefit of the doubt. It was more just as someone from an island nation myself, I wouldn’t really know the thing to call a not-island country, so I could see someone making a similar mistake. The rest of their tweet does show that they probably weren’t just being ignorant of the term and were trying to disparage China somehow by calling them landlocked.
