Tom Cruise isn’t simply taking on what appears to be Russian-made fighter jets in Top Gun: Maverick... he’s also angering China.

The Top Gun sequel features Cruise’s character wearing a bomber jacket with the Taiwanese flag, something considered an independence symbol by authorities in Beijing, who view the island as part of its territory.
