🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump admin continues US tip-toe to war with China…
US State Dept. has JUST removed explicit rejection of Taiwan independence from its “US Relations with Taiwan” page.
The US “One China” policy recognizes Taiwan as part of China in principle, but in practice the US has increasingly undermined it.
Until now, it has fallen short of calling for Taiwan “independence,” a move that would provoke war with China.
International law and the “One China” policy of nations around the globe recognize Taiwan as part of China and that China has only one government, the People’s Republic of China in Beijing.
Attempts to support separatism in Taiwan is a direct violation of Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity under the UN Charter and an act of war.
The resolution, put forth by Reps. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., and Scott Perry, R-Pa., would encourage President Donald Trump to abandon the U.S.’s long-standing “One China” policy and formally recognize Taiwan as autonomous.
…
The resolution implores Trump to support Taiwan’s entry into international trade organizations and negotiate a bilateral U.S.-Taiwan Free Trade Agreement.
…
Currently, only 12 independent countries recognize the Taipei government. A change in U.S. policy would likely be viewed as a threat by Beijing. When the U.S. sent a military aid package to Taiwan in December, China’s foreign ministry warned Washington was “playing with fire” and called for a stop to “dangerous moves that undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.”
…
The legislation has both interventionist and America First cosponsors, including Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Carlos Gimenez of Florida, Andy Ogles of Tennessee, and Kat Cammack of Florida.
