Wow, research is your friend.

What historical, cultural, and racial connections and tradition does Taiwan share with America?

The 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) of the Chinese Air Force in 1941–1942, nicknamed the Flying Tigers, was composed of pilots from the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC), Navy (USN), and Marine Corps (USMC).

Republic of China have a LOT of connection with USA, People’s Republic is a different beast.

China’s claim to Taiwan to be actually legitimate? People’s republic has never ever possess the island of taiwan. mongolia should be part of china and yet they gave them up to independence so easily. hell, genghis khan is china!

India has been flouting the One ChinA Policy and getting away with it. Apparently the U.S. is a weaker nation than India.

Nobody cares about WW2. We have much bigger problems now than defending every other nation in the world.

We already sell them arms and are treaty bound to defend them from an attack by China, but yet we can’t recognize them. I don’t like the idea of China dictating our policy and who we can/can’t recognize or speak to.

The majority of people in Taiwan want independence, and they would be an American ally if they were independent.

Wow.

If you think you're the last word on sending America's young all over the world to fight more foreign wars like we've done for 50 years, YOU are Deaf, Dumb, and Blind.

The American people are absolutely tired of wasting American blood and treasure on overseas folly.

I've deployed 3 times in the "War on Terror" an an Infantryman, so I'm not being hypocritical.

I'm not heartless about Taiwan or any other country. But America has been supporting the world with its military for decades, with not much to show for it.

Time for the rest of the world to grow up, put on their big boy pants, and be independent of Uncle Sugar.

so yeah, you hate all the human rights abusing dictators in south america, but when it comes to china, let’s bow down to them... i see how it is, china is too big to fail.

do you know how much money we’re giving to other shit countries compare to taiwan? you should start with those top 25 countries first. Afghanistan, 4533 millions, What historical, cultural, and racial connections and tradition does Afghanistan share with America? Other suspects on the list are Egypt, Jordan, West Bank!?, Ethiopia... beyond that, the only information I can find for Taiwan is mere 2 million from 2012. taiwan does spend 1.83 Billion on u.s arms. so who’s got the better deal?
