Taipei says it’s yet to receive formal notice as concerns grow over Washington’s commitment to island’s security
The U.S. is pausing a $14bn arms sale to Taiwan as it diverts munitions to sustain the war against Iran, exposing mounting anxieties over rapidly depleting stockpiles.
It comes just days after Donald Trump returned from a high-profile summit with Xi Jinping in China, a country that claims sovereignty over self-governed Taiwan and has threatened to “reunite” it with the mainland by force, if necessary.
Trump said he had discussed the matter of the $14bn arms deal “in great detail” with Chinese president Xi Jinping and would make a decision “over the next fairly short period”, breaking decades of U.S. policy that states decision on Taiwan should not be made in collaboration with Beijing.
That’s right, third party voters and non voters are the difference between winning or losing an election. So the only sensible choice is to learn this lesson and run candidates they would vote for.
You do understand that’s why they ran a centrist right? They need to stop trying to court third-party voters.
They ran a “centrist” (lmao) because those are the policies that most benefit their owners.
But that’s hard, and blaming voters is much easier!
It’s not even hard, they just don’t want to
That matters in the primaries. Once the candidates are set, you get two viable options.
