How is this different than the status quo? AIT has always been the de-facto US representation in Taiwan up to now.
- CogitoCogito 6y agoSeems like it just means that there aren't really restrictions on which government officials can go to Taiwan anymore. Of course they would still need at actively choose to do so. So if Biden just ignored this it would be mostly symbolic (which isn't nothing, but isn't necessarily a hell of a lot either). We'll just have to see what Biden does.
