A #Taiwanese view on @Scholars_Stage& #39;s latest essay: "US commentators say if we aren& #39;t determined to defend ourselves, why should the US defend #Taiwan? I think the US shouldn& #39;t on the 1 hand say "Maintain the status quo" & on the other "You don& #39;t seem to want to defend yourself" https://twitter.com/Cheng_yi_Huang/status/1305308727126319104">https://twitter.com/Cheng_yi_...
#Taiwan won& #39;t attack China of its own volition. Only if China attacks will Taiwan fight & defend itself...You Americans at once say "Don& #39;t fight on the 2 sides of the Strait", while at the same time saying [to Taiwan], "Show me that you can fight well". https://twitter.com/Cheng_yi_Huang/status/1305310496384376832?s=20">https://twitter.com/Cheng_yi_...
[Unlike North Korea], the US stopped #Taiwan from developing nuclear weapons 30 yrs ago...All the rules are set by the US. If there is a war, midway through the US might say "Taiwanese don& #39;t want to defend themselves, so let& #39;s withdraw our forces..." https://twitter.com/Cheng_yi_Huang/status/1305311998545018880?s=20">https://twitter.com/Cheng_yi_...
#Taiwan& #39;s identity is split. Some embrace China, some want independence. If the US continues with strategic ambiguity, this type of chaos will continue, too. With a clearer [American] strategy, how Taiwan will behave in a war scenario will be clearer, too. https://twitter.com/Cheng_yi_Huang/status/1305313641223172096">https://twitter.com/Cheng_yi_...
