so Japan (and South Korea?) secretly want Taiwan to go China, because that will make it easier for them to be all-in on the American security umbrella?

- dirtyid 4y agoRegions interests best served by status quo first and foremost. Then a peaceful political resolution. Then a limited TW scenario that doesn't spread to the rest of the region. Lastly, broad regional war. Which could end in PRC defeat, which ruins regions economics and will ensure long term instability because PRC will try again. Or ends in US defeat which removes the US as a security hedge to balance PRC. Basically they want the least disruptive PRC-TW settlement, after which they (not just SKR/JP) can enhance US presence without TW damocles hanging over their heads.
