Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteThought I'd share this article. It's nice to see something written without a China-centric view.

You can dissect it much better than I can though.
Sharp indicates that the US would intervene should Taiwan find itself in a siege situation at the hands of China. Do you think this assumption is a safe one? I don't.
ReplyDeleteYes, very safe, and getting safer...
ReplyDeleteFrankly, as a big fan of SEA in general (if not its political chicanery), I think the Tsai administration should take a real serious look at the Southbound Policy, especially as a means to Taiwan's survival. It can't all be just a bunch of posturing by threatening to leave China's orbit.
ReplyDeleteLike making Itu Aba the center of Pinoy Drumpfenfuhrer's "Make Philippines Great Again" anti-drug campaign. That oughta do it.
Interesting article about graffiti in Taiwan.
