In a New York Times guest essay, Bonnie S. Glaser argues that conflict between China and Taiwan (and therefore the United States) is not eminent. Glaser looks at the recent historical context, such as the invasion of Ukraine by the Russians and diplomacy between the Chinese, Americans, and the Taiwanese. Some of the assumptions about the implications of the conflict in Russia may be arguable in their application as Glaser uses them, but overall this article is convincing.
This opinion essay, along with other news about China and Taiwan, may lack proximity to an American audience, but it certainly posses conflict and impact. The conflict between China and Taiwan, where the United States has promised to support Taiwan in a conflict, is heavily influenced by the role of the United States in the affair.
I’ll read this as the final news comment, though I see you have
something else, possibly.
There should be no doubt that relations between Taiwan and
China are news in the US. It’s a major hot spot, much like
Palestine and Ukraine. Caught in the middle with you….
