The U.S. position on China and Taiwan

"After top Trump officials went to Beijing last month, the Chinese government wrote up a document with a list of economic and trade demands that ranged from the reasonable to the ridiculous. On Sunday, President Trump caved to one of those demands before the next round of negotiations even starts, undermining his own objectives for no visible gain."

I notice now that Mark Levin has asked whether our illustrious demented President Potato has basically green lighted a China move to invade Taiwan.


He may be right.
He green lighted putin’s invasion, the talibans invasion and
Now this
 

I realize the entire situation is complicated as fuck. But even so, i don’t believe it’s helpful for our demented Potato President to be verbalizing this shit.

Fuck Red China. Maybe it’s time for them to just recognize that Taiwan is an independent nation.

The problem is that our policy on Taiwan has been incoherent for 75 years. First we had the fantasy that Taiwan was the legitimate government of China and should have China's vote in the UN. Then we decided that there was only "one China" and it's government was in Beijing. But we will sell weapons to Taiwan and defend it if invaded, even though it's part of China.

To put it in comparison.

"China recognizes there is only one America, but we will sell weapons to the state of Alaska, and defend Alaska if the US attempts to reassert control over it. But we don't endorse Alaska declaring its independence under President Palin."

Now you see how truly absurd our policy is. But that's been our policy pretty much since Jimmy Carter.

Biden will do everything he can to make Taiwan independent while publicly stating that he is against Taiwan being independent.
 
He 's trying to arm Taiwan so they can stay independent while also stating that he is against independence for Taiwan.
Arming them may slow down red China. But it hardly implicates any actual intent to make them impervious to Red Chinese military aggression.

Our One China policy is a miasma. It always has been. But the stupid things spoken by Brandon simply amount to unforced errors.

We’d be better off if this demented old man would simply stay shuttered into his bedroom and keep his mush mouth shut.

Actually, what he said was pretty sensible. Don't do anything to provoke China, that actually makes sense.

China is willing to tolerate Taiwan being independent in fact, but not in name. That would be an assault on their sovereignty.

Actually, it would be fine if that’s what he had said.

It wasn’t.

Also, it would be better to just stand mute. He sucks at this whole “speaking” and “thinking” thing.

An invasion of Taiwan would be catastrophic for China. They have neither the military might or political capital to pull it off.

Their government is in the weakest position they’ve been in decades.

An invasion would be the most technically and logistically challenging invasion ever attempted by a country has basically no experience in the kind of combined arms that it would require.

You seem to speak from a base of knowledge. But you post no support for your claims.

Semantics, that's all. Taiwan, like N. Korea, is a pawn between US and China.
