Taiwan is run by women. It’s absurd, having women running these countries.
But the US can’t even find enough Chinese women to run Taiwan, so they’ve got Bi-khim Hsiao up there, who is half American. She spent most of her life in the US.
This is straight-up 19th century colonial tier shit, putting half-breeds educated in the empire in charge.

Taiwan has learned important lessons from Ukraine’s war that would help it deter any attack by China or defend itself if invaded, the self-ruled island’s top envoy to the U.S. said in an interview Friday with The Associated Press.
Among the lessons: Do more to prepare military reservists and also civilians for the kind of all-of-society fight that Ukrainians are waging against Russia.
Yeah, there’s just no way.
Chinese people are not retarded field peasants like the Hohols, so there is zero chance they are going to go to war with their main source of money over gay anal rimjobs for babies or this gross hapa mommy.
“Everything we’re doing now is to prevent the pain and suffering of the tragedy of Ukraine from being repeated in our scenario in Taiwan,” said Bi-khim Hsiao, Taiwan’s representative in Washington.
“So ultimately, we seek to deter the use of military force. But in a worst-case scenario, we understand that we have to be better prepared,” Hsiao said.
Bi-khim Hsiao – your hapa mommy
Hsiao spoke at the quiet, more than 130-year-old hilltop mansion that Taiwan uses for official functions in Washington. She talked on a range of Taiwan-US military, diplomatic and trade relations issues shaped by intensifying rivalries with China.
No Taiwanese flag flew over the building, reflecting Taiwan’s in-between status as a U.S. ally that nonetheless lacks full U.S. diplomatic recognition. The U.S. withdrew that in 1979, on the same day it recognized Beijing as the sole government of China.
I don’t think people even know that the US doesn’t recognize Taiwan as an independent country.
Joe Biden has been talking about it recently, but it was previously considered beyond the pale to even suggest it’s anything other than a Chinese territory.
The interview came after a year of higher tensions with China, including the Chinese launching ballistic missiles over Taiwan and temporarily suspending most dialogue with the U.S. after then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in August.
Yeah, she’d better be studying the Ukraine, because the Democrats are definitely going for a twofer, and they’ve got the support on this particular neocon adventure from shills like Tucker Carlson who are alleged to be right-wing.
Asked if new House Speaker Kevin McCarthy should make good on his earlier pledge to visit Taiwan as well, Hsaio said. “That will be his decision. But I think ultimately the people of Taiwan have welcomed visitors from around the world.”
Beijing’s leadership, she added, “has no right to decide or define how we engage with the world.”
They do have a right. You’re a part of their country. Virtually the entire world, including (in an official sense) the US government recognizes that.
Taiwan, which split from the mainland in 1949 during a civil war, is claimed by China. The decades-old threat of invasion by China of the self-governed island has sharpened since China cut off communications with the island’s government in 2016. That was after Taiwanese voters elected a government that Beijing suspected of wanting to take Taiwan from self-rule to full independence.
In Washington, Taiwan’s self-rule is one issue that has strong support from both parties.
And from Tucker Carlson, who also supports so-called “anal marriage.”
U.S. administrations for decades have maintained a policy of leaving unsaid whether the U.S. military would come to Taiwan’s defense if China did invade. China’s military shows of force after Pelosi’s visit had some in Congress suggesting it was time for the U.S. to abandon that policy, known as “strategic ambiguity,” and to instead make clear Americans would fight alongside Taiwan.
Joe Biden has basically said he would interfere if China “invaded” their own territory.
This is all getting as hot as Russia, and unlike the Ukraine, this really isn’t a joke.
Asked about those calls Friday, Hsiao only praised the existing policy.
“It has preserved the status quo for decades, or I should say it has preserved peace,” she said.
President Joe Biden has repeatedly volunteered in public comments that the U.S. would come to Taiwan’s defense, only to have aides walk that back with assurances that strategic ambiguity still prevails.
…
At home, Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen announced last month the government was extending compulsory military service for men from four months to a year, and Taiwan is increasing spending on defense. Hsiao would not directly address a report by Nikkei Asia on Friday that U.S. National Guard members had begun work training in Taiwan, saying only that Taiwan was exploring ways to work with the U.S. Guard members to improve training.
This is so retarded.
China doesn’t want to invade Taiwan. They are happy with the status quo and the good business relationship. But just like with the Ukraine (where Russia had no desire to invade), the US government is obsessed with provoking a war in order to undermine China.
The population is much too stupid to understand all of these details, so the government is able to get away with murder.
