China already has Taiwan, they just don’t want us to know it. They’ve got moles everywhere in the government and industry there. Any secrets we share with Taiwan go straight to Beijing.
Under our One China policy, we acknowledge that Taiwan is part of China. We just don’t want a forcible takeover of Taiwan by China. When China seized Hong Kong early in violation of its agreement with the UK, it suffered no consequences. It remains to be seen what the world’s reaction would be to a seizure of Taiwan. I suspect it will be muted given the dependence so many countries have on China, including us.
Yellin was just in China kowtowing to Xi and telling him the US will not decouple from China economically.
Agree that Taiwan has been totally infiltrated by the CCP. Doubtful that Taiwan would put up much of a fight. And our compromised President will do nothing.
