The State of New Hampshire's state motto is "Live Free Or Die".It's been on their license plates for decades.

If,by chance,the attitude of Taiwan's leaders...and the populace...is the same as New Hampshire's then they will probably die at some point because China *will* make a move.It's just a question of when.

But if Taiwan's attitude is "Better Red Than Dead" they will be absorbed...annexed... eventually.

It will look a lot like what Hitler did to Austria.

According to what we've seen publicized for some time, for the foreseeable future, the Taiwanese leadership is decided on its position and posture for purposes of the situation at hand. No one is going to change that with political speech from nations other than Taiwan.

As for our government's position, diplomatic speech from our leaders and diplomats does not honestly represent obvious intent. If any side cowers and backs down from its recent huffing and puffing, it will be China. And the world will laugh.
