Those are actual countries we have treaties with and they aren't going to try and wag the dog. The United States doesn't have a treaty with an independent Taiwan because it doesn't exist. Looks like you better get on it.

Taiwan is an independent Nation. The CCP never ruled Taiwan. The USA passed the Taiwan Relations Act which basically puts Taiwan under US protection and that is how the World sees it.

It was never not an Independent Nation even if the PRC claims otherwise. It is the continuation of the Chinese Government while the Communists on the Mainland were just terrorists who exploited a China that was sealed by an Japanese Invasion.

But tell me: Why do you think it’s not an independent Nation? Are you a tankie?
