> As one small example: while H.W. Bush was able to show his goodness and his morality by fighting for Taiwan's role and for democracy in his role as Ambassador to the UN, Kissinger's controversial pro-PRC stance, however much I despise the PRC government today and then, was what was necessary for the time. Bizarre framing, given that Taiwan wasn't a democracy in 1971 but rather a military dictatorship.
