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

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

9/ Bowling balls are hard to stop. We've seen it over and over - Vietnam, Iraq, Syria etc. Leaders often don't want to look "weak" by questioning paths to conflict. But here, we can step up efforts to protect Taiwan, without totally throwing out decades of successful policy. — PolitiTweet.org
