Is the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting a preview of what the US is going to do to Taiwan?

Every year, taiwan office-holders make a beeline for America, hoping to drum up publicity for their cause.

Second, Taiwanese office-holders do not fly direct to America. Instead they make official diplomatic visits to central America (Belize/Guatemala) or the carribbean (Haiti), before making a “stopover” stateside in their private capacity. This odd travel itinerary almost never draws the Anglophone media's attention.

So why the odd state of affairs? The US DOESN'T RECOGNIZE TAIWAN as a state. Not since throwing Chiang Kai-Shek's KMT government under the bus, when it still represented China on the UNSC P5 seat in the 1970s!

Why do many Hong Kong Chinese look different from the Han Chinese in mainland China?

People have short memories.

And the Taiwanese press is gleefully complicit, churning out headlines of xxx meeting congressman A or Cabinet secretary B. The most brazen headlines are reserved for the Taiwanese president in the white house or Capitol, or photo-ops with the secretary of state or president/vice president.

But if you listen to the right Taiwanese media, they will inject and explain details that change the fundamental understanding of the information chain.

First, all bilateral visits are officially private, non-state visits. But that is as farcical as insisting Nancy's Taipei visit in 2022 was a private trip, when she was on board a US government jet and escorted by USN assets on a circuitous route to the island.

Donald has similarly thrown Volodymyr under the bus, a complete turn of fortunes from the time he was honored at the table by Joe and friends. Remember the standing ovation at Congress cheering him on with “war war war”?

In the 21st century, it is STILL dangerous to be America's enemy, and fatal to be its friend.

Taiwan already experienced the Volodymyr moment 5 decades ago. Richard and Henry did not keep chiang in the loop about rapprochement, and chiang found out through the news, after the UNGA resolution was tabled.
