The US is moving forward to convince Taiwan manufacturers to move to USA soil sooner not later. Still, this maneuver may excellerate China's take over ambitions.
In the big picture, this development would be happening no matter who is president in the US.
Seems to me that Biden is doing as much as he can without any Republican support in this regard.
I think our goal should be to prevent China from invading and taking over Taipei. That has been our policy since 1949.
The only way to come up with the best foreign policy us to criticize decisions that seem dumb.
In my view, Biden should have picked up the phone and firmly requested that Pelosi postpone her trip, "in the interest of National Security". And to give Xi the idea that he can still work with the U.S.
We and Taipei are now worse off with the new policy that has dropped the language
on no boots on the ground that was in earlier versions of the White Paper. We are one step closer to an invasion.
In my opinion, it was an unforced error on our part.
OR Biden should have picked up the phone and called Xi to say, "Relax" this we are not changing our policy".
But the truth may be more difficult to discern. China has always played the long game as we have been more reactive.........are the roles changing?
No doubt Taiwan will be taken by China. But when?
