The United States has never recognized, nor have we supported, Taiwan independence.
I thought the Taiwan government has always considered themselves to be the legitimate government of all China, so nothing really changed.
Official US policy since 1972.
Leave it to the Baitway Pundit to blow this out of proportion.
Chinese military not quite ready take the island without guaranteed success. What does Xi do?
1) wait a few more years and continue to build up the military but with perhaps Trump in office
2) take a chance within the next year with a Senile Buffoon in charge
One million Taiwanese refugees coming across The southern border soon. Wait for it..
.
From whom could Taiwan purchase a few nukes? If China invades, retaliation should be severe.
The world’s economy relies on Taiwanese semiconductors.
While production sites are being built globally, the world is vulnerable until those go online.
A western market collapse followed by a US dollar collapse and followed by a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would bring the world to its knees overnight.
Expect something like suspension of the constitution.
Two topics:
NATO is pledged to defend NATO members, if such a member is attacked.
Ukraine is not in NATO.
Ukraine was attacked.
NATO initiates a proxy war against Russia.
That’s a dangerous precedent.
US policy is that China and Taiwan is one country.
If China moves troops into the region of China known as Taiwan, what will the US reaction be?
I’m guessing that we will initiate a proxy war (or worse) against China.
These are dangerous games to play.
If you have a policy, follow the policy. But the US doesn’t. We are inconsistent, which is never good.
Taiwan is already an independent country. China is a province of Taiwan. The Taiwanese are the true Chinese and true rulers of China.
It’s long past time for the world to recognize that China belongs to Taiwan.
Why would any country become allies with the US?
But we fully support the radical “gay” agenda and rigged elections.
China is too vulnerable to attack Taiwan. Remember the dam? And with the valuable island in shambles, not worth the cost.
The Chinese are probably waiting for Biden to disarm Taiwan.
Or they are waiting to finish buying off Tiawan’s leaders, like they have here.
Regardless of who thinks Taiwan is part of China or China is part of Taiwan, the fact remains the Communist dictatorships have many faults, but spotting weakness is not one of them.
A statement like this is like Dean Acheson’s fateful speech in January 1950 that was interpreted by beady-eyed thugs in North Korea, Communist China, and the USSR as a tacit statement that we weren’t going to do anything if they invaded South Korea.
The world is sitting on a powder keg right now. All it takes is a match lit by dumbasses.
And there is no shortage of them inside or outside of the current Administration.
Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
Silent coup
That’s been our policy for 50 years. Officially we are still signed onto “One China”, which means Taiwan is not a country, they are the “disputed province” and we’re do not back their independence. Nixon wrote it. Reagan kept it. Trump kept it. Pretending Biden changed anything by also keeping it is ignoring 50 years of bad policy.
Dirty rotten Joe Biden sells out FRee CHina.
What a dirty rotten trick.
No more chip manufacturubg for US uindiustry now!
Treasonous baftards!
Biden is destroy9ong the US economy.
BUagahahahahahahahaha!
What a bunch of suckers these Biden idiots are!
They give proof that the election of 2020 WAS indeed stolen.
Blinken’s boss, Biden, in perhaps the only positive episode of his stolen administration, has promised that if the Chicoms invade Taiwan we will fight. Xi is on notice, and will not invade unless he someday thinks it is the only way for the CCP to try to stay in power in China.
It would be nice if Jim Hoft were a journalist who was worthy of respect. But regrettably that is not the case.
