“Official UN Position: Under UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, adopted in 1971, the UN recognizes the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as the sole legitimate representative of China to the UN. Consequently, official UN documents designate Taiwan as “Taiwan, Province of China” and do not issue sovereign governance quality ratings for it.” Google AI. Given the UN’s position can America justify its “defense” of Taiwan with the level of risk to its voters?
The Thucydides Trap is a political theory stating that when a rising power (China) threatens to displace an established ruling power (America), the resulting structural stress, fear, and insecurity make violent conflict alarmingly likely.” Google AI. We assume that the UN would “approve” of our defense of Australia, Japan and Korea! Wouldn’t it be great if China and the USA agreed to avoid the trap by okaying the re-unifications of both China and Korea!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
