Taiwan insists it is independent after Trump warning
Taiwan has insisted it is a sovereign, independent nation, after US President Donald Trump cautioned it against formally declaring independence from China.
Trump's remarks came after a two-day summit in Beijing, after which he said he had "made no commitment either way" about the self-governing island - which China claims as part of its territory and has not ruled out taking by force.https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/taiwan-insist...Trump the Living God has one priority: what makes him the most MONEY

Trump’s obsequious waffling while meeting with Xi on the subject of Taiwan…………
The Trump supporting war hawks in the matter of Taiwan and China…… just had their legs removed above the knees….
and can’t yet begin to acknowledge the fact that Trump will let Taiwan burn before jeopardizing the possibility of continuing the grift on Chinese trade.

before jeopardizing the possibility of continuing the grift on Chinese trade.
Sticks in my mind Trump the God had a bunch of CEOs in tow the last time he went to China too.
from the net sifter:
Yes, President Donald Trump brought a large delegation of corporate executives with him on his trip to China, which took place during his time in office.
During his first term in November 2017, Trump was accompanied by a high-profile business delegation consisting of nearly 30 U.S. corporate executives from industries ranging from energy and agriculture to aviation and finance. They participated in trade events and helped facilitate billions of dollars in business deals between American and Chinese companies
It's all about MONEY. China is a bigger market than Taiwan, so Trump the God is more interested in China. He'll sell anyone out, to get more MONEY.

LOL this was a done deal a long time ago when BOTH your parties, and your consumers and 401K toting maggots --all sold out to China.
Republicans love the "free trade orthodoxy and corporate profits. 401K'ers loved the earnings per share. Liberals loved selling out America to China---a soulmate of theirs in some ways.
Hence I used to say - exactly - that one day China takes Taiwan and the most you people can do is pass a resolution condemning it.
Furthermore, this was MORE a done deal well before Trump came back......
Ever wonder why your polarized tribal shithole of a government - could some how get the CHIPS act passed? It's because you people can't wipe your asses anymore without your digital way of life and, you people were TOLD: Fair warning, Taiwan is a dead duck. So for the sake of your supply chains, President Biden- wisely got the ball rolling on this one.
The SOLE question remains - will China take Taiwan via force? Or ---amicably.
China's Club 401K: Academics, corporate folks, etc------will be rather 'open minded' to China.
401K'ers are usually the sellouts.
It's a non event to me -- it's been inevitable.
I'm more pissed about Putin. The Yutz didn't win in Ukraine despite his heinous crimes. Yes he might've forced Europeans to divert money from pensions and health care---to more defense spending but that isn't a done deal yet. I so wish he had spent the cash and Capital that he is wasting on Ukraine, towards further meddling in politics and exploiting the tribal tensions from America to Canada to Germany to France to Spain.
His ROI would be better ----as would be my fun factor.
I bet on the wrong horse with him.
