Taiwan expressed thanks and China was upset on Wednesday after Donald Trump signed into law legislation requiring the U.S. State Department to regularly review and update guidelines on how the United States officially interacts with Taipei.
The United States is Taiwan’s most important international backer despite the lack of formal diplomatic ties, and the issue is a constant source of irritation in Sino-U.S. relations given Beijing views the democratically-governed island as its own.
Taiwan Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung told reporters more frequent reviews of the guidelines would allow Taiwanese officials into federal agencies for meetings, for example, though the legislation does not make explicit mention of this.
In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said China firmly opposes any form of official contact between the United States and “the Taiwan region of China”.
Well, explain in what what way my analogy was bull shit then. Because it’s not perfect, but creating a hypothetical analogy based around America is sometimes the only way to get Westerners to understand something.
But, you, trying to equate the real bay of pigs invasion to an invasion of Taiwan that was dumb. It just showed you don’t know the history of the Chinese civil war (the entire point of my analogy in the first place) or the history of Cuba.
But, go ahead. I’m waiting for you to explain why my hypothetical analogy is bull shit. I explained why yours was.
And you still haven’t answered why you want the US involved with defending Taiwan. That really worked out well for Ukraine. Fighting for years so we could sell them weapons, get their men killed, and then abandon them once we found a new war to start.
