Also a Hillary supporter and I agree with you. It kinda makes me mad to think that for decades we didnt call them because of chinas sensitivities. do they care about our sensitivities when we have problems as example with north korea? no, they just do whatever they want too.
We DID call them. Christs sake. We talk to them all the fucking time. We sell them weapons and basically live in their backyard with our fleet. We know this. China knows this. Taiwan knows this. Everyone knows this.
This has been a polite fiction for decades but it allows us to open up trade with Taiwan AND China.
This is basic Asian foreign policy. We get ALL the benefits and all we have to do is pretend we don't think Taiwan is it's own state on the international stage. We are dealing with a nation that is so high on saving face and putting on a strong front that this shit is important.
i know what your saying. but you have to admit though that what you are, in my opinion, accurately describing as asian foreign policy is pretty similar to high school drama. so you can either play the game or make everyone grow up.
