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

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

8/ It's fair to counter that we shouldn't make policy based on China's irrational hurt feelings. Okay, but our China portfolio isn't just Taiwan. It's trade, human rights, NKorea, climate, fentanyl, etc. Shouldn't we consider how Taiwan policy changes affect the whole portfolio? — PolitiTweet.org
