Taiwan is Demanding the World Protect Them While Offering Nothing

As you are reading through Taiwan’s various proposals, you should consider what they are offering to bring to the table in exchange for what they are asking for from other nations.

There will be a quiz at the end.

The Guardian:

The international community must join together in resisting China’s expansionism and preventing an invasion of Taiwan by sharing intelligence, rethinking Chinese business ties and boosting Taipei’s presence on the world stage, Taiwan’s foreign minister has said.

In an interview with the Guardian, Joseph Wu said China’s activities in the South China and East China seas, its border skirmishes with India, and its crackdown on Hong Kong were evidence of it seeking to “expand its authoritarian order”, and that Taiwan was its next target.

Wu warned partners including the US, Europe, Japan and Australia, that if Taiwan were to “fall prey to China” it would greatly expand Beijing’s reach into the Pacific region and significantly impact the world order.

As foreign minister, Wu has been at the forefront of Taiwan’s lobbying campaign for international “like-minded” alliances. In the ornate meeting room of Taipei’s foreign ministry, he spoke optimistically about what he hoped other nations might offer, but was careful not to cross into requests for direct military assistance, which could inflame the precarious stability of the Taiwan Strait. However, he did not shy away from criticising Beijing, saying its imposition of “authoritarian, even totalitarian rule” threatened to turn even its own people against it.

…

Chinese control of Taiwan would significantly boost Beijing’s regional control and access to the Pacific region.

Yes, Guardian.

You just quoted the guy you are interviewing saying that.

The quote is more powerful than you stating it as a fact.

What you should do instead is add information about what it would mean for the West if China expanded its regional control in Asia.

I wonder why you didn’t add that? That would be a really important piece of information for Western readers, which are your target audience.

For example: how would this affect the lives of my family in Ohio?

Obviously, it could end up costing me and my family a lot if America were to become involved in a war with China, so I’d like to know how risking that will benefit me.

For example:

• If China takes over Taiwan, will more of my high school friends overdose on opioid drugs?
• If China takes over Taiwan, will the divorce rate go up in Ohio?
• If China takes over Taiwan, will Americans become even more obese?
• If China takes over Taiwan, will the jobs market in America get even worse?
• If China takes over Taiwan, will housing prices go up?
• If China takes over Taiwan, will gun control laws become even stricter?
• If China takes over Taiwan, will the rate at which psychotherapists prescribe anti-depressant and anti-anxiety drugs go up?
• If China takes over Taiwan, will US government schools start more aggressively pushing transsexual propaganda on elementary aged children?
• If China takes over Taiwan, will US district attorneys be able to further strengthen “believe all women” rape laws?
• If China takes over Taiwan, will more Somalians come to Columbus, Ohio?
• If China takes over Taiwan, will the US government intensify its agenda to censor political dissidents?

I’m sure a Chinese takeover of Taiwan must be threatening to us in some way, otherwise you wouldn’t be writing an article shilling for a Western alliance to defend Taiwan. So, don’t keep it a secret. Next time you write an article demanding that the West risk a world war in order to protect Taiwan, tell us why we would want to do that.

“If one of the most critical junctures of the first island chain is not in the hands of the like-minded countries, we can imagine what this is going to create in the global strategic picture,” Wu said, referencing McCarthy-era fears of China’s navy reaching the US west coast. “We definitely need to think about how we prevent it from happening.”

Wu said European countries had a renewed interest in the Indo-Pacific, and Australia was facing “a very complicated Pacific” region. They and other allies such as Japan were not obligated to support Taiwan but if Taiwan fell to China “that might have a significant [global] impact”.

“The like-minded countries need to come together, and we will be stronger together,” he said.

He said Taiwan would “appreciate” intelligence information sharing and other non-military forms of support from other allies including Australia and Japan. Taiwan was working domestically against disinformation campaigns and infiltration, but also sought international partners on hybrid warfare and security cooperation.

Wu said Taiwan wanted to show the international community and China that it was “absolutely determined to defend ourselves”, and that it had the responsibility, will and capability.

Incursions on the rise

Taiwan is hugely outgunned by China. It has made major commitments to boost its defence capabilities and improve the state of its infantry, but relies on billions of dollars in arms sales from the US.

Under a decades-old agreement the US is obliged to provide Taiwan with necessary defensive materials, but it also maintains a deterrence policy of refusing to say if it would come to Taiwan’s defence in the case of an attack. Under the Trump administration sales increased and requests were fast-tracked, something Wu said he believes will continue.

“Considering that China may want to launch an attack a couple … or several years down the road in a more massive way, we need to procure more items from the United States,” he said.

This article is literally an advertisement by the government of Taiwan and the US State Department explaining to Westerners why it is a good idea for the US to sell weapons systems to Taiwan, and thus further implicate the American people and the people of the entire Western world in a weird agenda to overthrow the government of China.

I can pretty well guarantee that 100% of the good liberals who read The Guardian in a serious way walked away from this article feeling very supportive of transferring weapons systems to Taiwan.

If Joe Biden assumes office, you’re going to see a lot more of this.
