6/ It's a policy that looks strong and tough on China, but does it actually protect our interests? The answer is no. Recognizing Taiwan doesn't actually protect Taiwan; it will just enrage our allies and possibly provoke China into retaliation and a quicker invasion. — PolitiTweet.org

5/ But many in Congress and the think tank ecosystem argue that the U.S. must go much further - by ending "strategic ambiguity", recognizing Taiwan, and promising to fully defend Taiwan if China invades. A full reversal of decades of bipartisan consensus on Taiwan policy. — PolitiTweet.org

7/ Further, there's no need for an explicit defense guarantee. China has already priced in a full U.S. defense if they invade, so what do we get by making Taiwan's defense our explicit policy? Again, it's tough talk without enough upside to counter the provocatory downside. — PolitiTweet.org
