This stupid situation is a result of Carter. He's the one that agreed to the one - China policy and decided that the President wouldn't talk to Taiwan. I remember when the situation was actually sort of reversed.

Mainland China was known as Red China, and the Taiwan Government was considered the legitimate government of China. I think Carter also placed the Chinese in control of the Panama Canal at that time - a negative for our national security.

This stupid situation is a result of Carter.

He took a democratic government and force them to give up their Security Council seat to a communist regime. He did give away the Panama Canal but China took it over later. The great William F Buckley debated Ronal Reagan on the Canal giveaway. Reagan made a great showing but they gave it away anyway.

Of course one has to remember that Nixon was the one that opened China to the free world.
