We were the ones that went after them. I always fear to say anything complicated about China because then people think you’re some kind of enemy agent. No, I have deep fear for the people of Taiwan but US diplomacy has been absolute shit and we do not understand how to deal with China.
Decades of distrust will be very hard to overcome.
It’s very stupid to make a country you must interact with your pubic whipping boy.
