I understand - and I could be wrong - that to make this deal, France confirmed China's sovereign hold over Tawaiin. That bothers me.
But then again, the US recently affirmed that it opposes any unilateral attempt to change the status of Taiwan.
In other words, the US has told Taiwan that if Taiwan declares itself independent of China, and China declares war and invades Taiwan in retaliation, the US has not promised to protect Taiwan.
This US support of the status quo means that the US does not stand for Taiwan's independent sovereignty either. The US position is "This will be need to be worked out over time", with the "this" being that Taiwan is a rebellious province of China which the US does NOT formally recognize as an independent sovereign state.
