“Outlook for Taiwan-U.S. ties”
Bravo to Bolton for proposing a sensible alternative to the United States’ current policy toward Taiwan. It is time we recognize that Taiwan is a de-facto independent state and start treating it as such. It has always struck me as hypocritical that the United States spends billions of dollars promoting democracy abroad, yet continues to chastise Taiwan, one of the few stable democracies in Asia, for holding peaceful referendums and daring to seek membership in the United Nations.
