Journalist: "As long as you are president, will China never take Taiwan by force?"
Donald Trump: "I’m not going to comment on that! I don’t comment on anything to avoid putting myself in that position. So I don’t want to put myself in that position. But I can say that I have a great relationship with Xi Jinping. We want them to come and invest. I see many saying we don’t want China here. That’s not right. We want them to invest in the U.S., and we will invest in China."
China right now: 🥳
Taiwan right now: 😰
Trump has ushered in a new era where alliances no longer exist. Either countries secure themselves (through nuclear weapons) or they will face the same fate as Ukraine and, apparently, Taiwan.
