Reply To: America should trade Taiwan for North Korea

ujm, I’m not sure the Taiwan and Beijing agree that they are still part of the same nation. Taiwanese people are 95% Han Chinese but Taiwan has effectively been a separate country for over 70 years. Since the Hong Kong takeover, nationalist sentiment seems to be increasing. The ruling DPP party has held a majority since 2016 and favors a national identity separate from mainland China.
We wouldnt go to war with China if they ever invade Taiwan but we should continue to strengthen diplomatic ties with Taiwan. Both the Trump and Biden administrations are taking steps in this direction.
