[ought-six #41] BTW: The United States recognized the nationalist government on Taiwan as the legitimate government of all of China up until January 1, 1979. The UN recognized the nationalist government up until 1971.
BTW, it is 2022.
[ought-six #42] You also make light of our trade relations with Taiwan, which you claim I am “obsessed with.” I, personally, have no such obsession; though the world does: Taiwan is the world leader in semiconductors and chips (Taiwanese companies TSMC and United Microelectronics Corporation are the two largest contract chipmakers in the world).
Our trade relations is what we care about. You make zero case for Taiwan independence or a supposed right of Nancy Pelosi to make an official visit to that part of China without permission of the State Department and the Chinese.
You can only make believe and mutter nonsense. Taiwan is part of China. Deal with it.
Read the official policy of the United States: "we do not support Taiwan independence."
Taiwan makes semi-conductors we care about. Taiwan independence not so much. We only maintain non-official relations with Taiwan.

U.S.-Taiwan Relationship
As a leading democracy and a technological powerhouse, Taiwan is a key U.S. partner in the Indo-Pacific. Though the United States does not have diplomatic relations with Taiwan, we have a robust unofficial relationship. The United States and Taiwan share similar values, deep commercial and economic links, and strong people-to-people ties, which form the bedrock of our friendship and serve as the impetus for expanding U.S. engagement with Taiwan.
Through the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), a non-governmental organization mandated by the Taiwan Relations Act to carry out the United States’ unofficial relations with Taiwan, our cooperation with Taiwan continues to expand. Taiwan has become an important U.S. partner in trade and investment, health, semiconductor and other critical supply chains, investment screening, science and technology, education, and advancing democratic values.
The United States approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations. The United States has a longstanding one China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.-China Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances. We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means. We continue to have an abiding interest in peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. Consistent with the Taiwan Relations Act, the United States makes available defense articles and services as necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense capability -– and maintains our capacity to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic system, of Taiwan.
“You make zero case for Taiwan independence...”
Why would I?
“...or a supposed right of Nancy Pelosi to make an official visit to that part of China without permission of the State Department...”
She doesn’t need the permission of the State Department.
“...and the Chinese.”
She doesn’t need that, either.
Don’t you have an original thought or idea of your own? You were outed a long time ago as just a cut-and-paste guy.
You rely on others to make your arguments. Only lazy and unintelligent people do that. You are both. You also assume facts not in evidence, then cut-and-paste to support your error. That’s why you have no credibility.
