The inclusion of the Taiwan flag among the flags of other nations in a tweet sent out listing the places that have received COVID vaccines from the United States inspired a panicked apology to China from the Biden Administration. Press Secretary Jen Psaki tried to reassure Xi Jinping that "it was an honest mistake."
"It is important that China knows that we do not consider Taiwan an independent nation," Psaki said. "We acknowledge that Taiwan is only a province of the Chinese Empire. We will never do anything to interfere with China's governance of this province."
In related news, the Biden Administration sharply disavowed Japan's suggestion that "our two countries might join in an effort to deter China from invading Taiwan. As it should be clear by now, President Biden unequivocally supports national unity. We have had our own problems with breakaway provinces and endured the bloodiest war in our history invading those provinces and suppressing their rebellion. We can hardly begrudge any action China feels is necessary to assert its sovereignty over the Island of Taiwan. All we ask is that the people of Taiwan accept their subservience with dignity."

Taiwan knows what goes on with Communist China & I think they want to wisely remain independent,as much as is possible. That’s something the U.S. needs to be thinking about as well.
