New Guidelines for U.S. Government Interactions with Taiwan Counterparts
- finiteseries 6y agoThe guidelines aren’t publicly available, but the Reuters article on this describes a couple of the effects: ... the new guidelines meant, for example, that working-level meetings with Taiwanese officials were now encouraged in federal buildings and could also take place at Taiwan’s representative office. ... U.S. officials would also be able to attend events at Twin Oaks, an estate in Washington that served as the residence of Taiwan’s ambassador until the United States switched diplomatic recognition to Beijing in 1979. However, it quoted a U.S. official as saying there would still be some “guard rails,” such as not allowing officials to attend functions at Twin Oaks on major Taiwanese holidays that might complicate the U.S. “One-China” policy. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-taiwan-diplomacy/united-states-issues-guidelines-to-encourage-more-interaction-with-taiwan-idUSKBN2BW2NO https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-taiwan-diplomacy/unit...
- ilaksh 6y agoWhat's the plan for avoiding a war at some point? Seems like there is no plan. They are just hoping to delay a little longer.. I guess waiting for China's military to get better? That doesn't seem like a good plan. It seems like there are issues that absolutely will need to be resolved one way or another.
