This is a big move, especially as I haven't heard of anything uber
being sold to Taiwan. If it were Arleigh Burkes, F-22s, or High-End
AIP Submarines, maybe, but this is China pushing hard on, well, not
much.
Which we should sell Taiwan as it is an independent country and it
would be far
better for the war to happen sooner rather than latter when China will
be even more
powerful and the U.S. may be less likely to intervene. Allowing
communists to subjugate
a thriving democracy would be a massive setback for the West and
embolden China to make
its next move in dominating the Far East.


If China is looking to scramble the US economy this could be part of
the reason. Though a war of sanctions would probably hurt China worse
than the US. Google seems ready to pull out of China over Chinese
gov't interference already and not be the worse for wear over it.
We should not be trading with China to the extent we are when our
southern neighbors are
far closer to us and poor. Lets build up the economy of Mexico through
trade and then we will
help accomplish several goals. Securing our southern border by way of
economic prosperity is just
one.

Americans don't give a rat's hairy posterior what China does. Send
Taiwan 100 billion, in arms gratis.
The Global Merchants and Bankers are calling the shots though.
