FWIW

We must "free trade" with red china more, give them more high tech, more factories, make them stronger and richer, and more powerful economically and militarily, because one day, they are going to retake Taiwan, and may have to fight the United States in order to do it. If the United States wants to continue to bring in imports of manufactured goods from china instead of going back to the stone age after all of our factories have moved there, we will not be in a position to oppose whatever Red China wants to do.

I wish I knew more about this situation. I know that the USA used to be for any nation wanting an independent/democratic society. I remember the US backing Taiwan in the decision to become independent from Communist China in as little as the past year.

Why has this changed?
