For one thing it is semi conductors and chips. Then there is the principles thing that Taiwan has a right to choose their own government. Next is the freedom of seas issue of keeping them open for trade. And promises we made to them.

Who knows. I didn't vote for W.Bush. He should have been better informed about the chemical weapons. However, that sweet lovable dictator that dictatorships admire so much did not honor original peace agreement from the first gulf War. As far as Afghanistan goes, we should have left right after we killed bin Laden. But George W. Bush was into nation building in a tribal area with no sense of nationality. Nations like people will make mistakes and mistakes of judgment. America is not perfect we made a mistake. But we can admit making mistakes.

@henli-rw5dw That started with Ronald Regan when he weakened the Sherman antitrust laws. This limited competition by allowing and making it easier for the big boys to crush the little guys.

@xiaosongwu8736 It is not necessarily the quantity of books you read but the quality of the books you read. If the book you read is hateful, emotionally loaded, inaccurately biased garbage so will your mind become garbage 🗑 if you are not careful.

This woman is incredibly ic c X lntelligent. I like her. China (and Russia, also)should follow the advice of one of their ancient pre Communist sages who said the best way to acquire new territory is not through conquest but make it so desirable that they will want to join and become a part of you. This can be done in many ways such as economic advantages, offering liberties and freedoms they don't have, and protection from any foreign enemies to name a few things. Wars are bloody, destructive and some of your best people often get killed. So this sage went on to say the superior man will choose to win over their hearts and minds before attempting any war of conquest. Next best after that is developing trust and friendship through trade and good relationships. War is worst way of all.
