Taiwan asserted its sovereignty Saturday after Donald Trump warned against Taiwanese self-determination following the American leader’s two-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
Taiwan “is a sovereign and independent democratic nation, and is not subordinate to the People’s Republic of China,” Taiwan’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
The ministry’s remarks come as a swift rebuke against Trump, who said Friday that he was “not looking to have somebody go independent” when asked about whether the U.S. would come to Taiwan’s rescue in the event of an invasion by China.
Well the predictions were right, Xi played Trump like a fiddle.
Xi cooked Donny like orange chicken. And Donny will throw Taiwan under the take out truck.
Magatards running our government better get their heads out of their ass and get this moron out of office. China retaking Taiwan would put us at their mercy for the next 100 years or more.
That’s a good thing
Then go live there. If you already do, you’re illegally accessing Lemmy, which pretty much solidifies your shitty opinion.
Eww no American immigrants would turn China into a shit hole. We have to stay here and stew in our mess.
You don’t need to live in a country to support it.
Considering 2027 is a likely time for China to attack, it’s rather problematic that Trump is in charge. I rather like Taiwan being an independent nation
Just 72 more hours bro
You can’t just bully weaker Island nations near your coast just because their’s a history of political bad blood.
I don’t like the situation but that’s not what it is. It’s a civil war that never ended.
And just yesterday they were all living up trumps ass for recognizing them as a sovereign nation back since 2016 actually believing the was going to treat them “better than any Democrat “. Talking to anyone actually in Taiwan would be maga level to talk to about trump regarding him being a pedophile.
Now trump showed them his real colors.
Yeah. Maybe don’t back a pedo when it’s been told to you. He ain’t got your back.
Canadian here: What they said.
I bet by now the dude cries himself to sleep every night hoping it will all be over soon.
You want to know how dumb Republicans are? Look up 1956 Suaz crisis. The US is making the exact same mistakes. And guess which middle east country convinced the conservative UK and France governments it was a good idea?
