Taiwan president warns of ‘catastrophic consequences’ if island falls to China
After Nixon went to China and everyone started to asslick China for trade deals etc. - China welcomed into WTO, UN Security Council etc. many countries just dropped Taiwan like a brick for fear of offending China.<p>The West&#x27;s ideological struggle Communist China from 1949 though the &#x27;50s, &#x27;60s, &#x27;70 and into &#x27;80s was simply &#x27;forgotten&#x27; and didn&#x27;t count for anything the moment
greed, money and trade got in the way - Taiwan was caste off like some old useless flotsam to just fend for itself.<p>I found the whole slimy exercise sickening to watch.<p>Taiwan has every reason to be bitter at the two-faced Janus-like behavior of its Western allies.  Frankly, I&#x27;m ashamed to be a citizen of one of the counties involved with shit ethics like that.<p><i>Remember, China hasn&#x27;t changed its totalitarian and imperialist  stance since 1949 (don&#x27;t forget China&#x27;s annexation of Tibet, and now we see its violation of the agreement over Hong Kong).<p>It was Taiwan that held the free&#x2F;democratic world&#x27;s flag in that part of the world and we promised to support Taiwan for doing so and instead we dumped her the moment China decided buy us in the West off.)</i>
