Is the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting a preview of what the US is going to do to Taiwan?

People have short memories.

Every year, taiwan office-holders make a beeline for America, hoping to drum up publicity for their cause.

But if you listen to the right Taiwanese media, they will inject and explain details that change the fundamental understanding of the information chain.

Romania in the past was a poor country, but last year the government announced it had 521 billion leu (113$ billion dollars) revenue. Why is so much? What's the reason?

Donald has similarly thrown Volodymyr under the bus, a complete turn of fortunes from the time he was honored at the table by Joe and friends. Remember the standing ovation at Congress cheering him on with “war war war”?

Second, Taiwanese office-holders do not fly direct to America. Instead they make official diplomatic visits to central America (Belize/Guatemala) or the carribbean (Haiti), before making a “stopover” stateside in their private capacity. This odd travel itinerary almost never draws the Anglophone media's attention.

Taiwan already experienced the Volodymyr moment 5 decades ago. Richard and Henry did not keep chiang in the loop about rapprochement, and chiang found out through the news, after the UNGA resolution was tabled.

What was Easter day like for you as a child?

In the 21st century, it is STILL dangerous to be America's enemy, and fatal to be its friend.

And the Taiwanese press is gleefully complicit, churning out headlines of xxx meeting congressman A or Cabinet secretary B. The most brazen headlines are reserved for the Taiwanese president in the white house or Capitol, or photo-ops with the secretary of state or president/vice president.

So why the odd state of affairs? The US DOESN'T RECOGNIZE TAIWAN as a state. Not since throwing Chiang Kai-Shek's KMT government under the bus, when it still represented China on the UNSC P5 seat in the 1970s!

Can you give an example of a documentary where the person telling the story believed it to be true, but it turned out to be false?

First, all bilateral visits are officially private, non-state visits. But that is as farcical as insisting Nancy's Taipei visit in 2022 was a private trip, when she was on board a US government jet and escorted by USN assets on a circuitous route to the island.
