At least Taiwan is smart enough to know moving 50% of Taiwan's chip business to the US which is what Trump wants means the less likely the US will intervene if China takes Taiwan. But then that's why Taiwan came up with that proposal for an advanced technology pact with the US.
You have Americans/Taiwanese teasing bombing the Three Gorges Dam. At China's Victory Day Parade they should've had every name of a US carrier written on China's anti-ship missiles.
This sounds like begging on Lai's part.
Richard Nixon, used to say, in one of those Taiwan crisis, that if mainland China got Kim-men and Matsu, then they will advance to Taiwan, then Hawaii, leaving the American western coast at risk.
Later of course, Nixon went to China to met Mao, and all of that stuff from the 1950's was forgotten.
Then times change,
If Lai is bringing up this kind of communist expansion logic towards California, that means he has nothing left. Is that the best he can do? In other words?
Use fearmongering from the 1950's America? LOL!
Crap, how long ago was 1950's America? Gawd daynam!
At least times were much simpler back then.
Find a boyfriend or girlfriend. Go dating. Get married. Raise kids. That was the America life back then, and Mao Zedong was a threat to all of that. The Americans were really scared of communism, but they learned that was totally exaggerated too.
That was why seeing that Tom Cotton quiz that Singaporean about his non-existent connections to the communist part of China, was just so beautiful. Wrapped minds ask wrapped questions.
Lai is appealing to that wrapped 1950's mentality in Washington DC, because he has no other effective cards to play. Feels like it is over.
Okay, the reason for me to post this old song, was to show how different the mentality was back then in America.
Today, if some writes a song, it will not have these crony, sort of crony lyrics. If some is going to kiss something, then the lyrics will be more like - shake shake, shake that ass, twerk twerk kiss kiss ass ass.
Times change. And Lai is still singing from the script from 1950.
