> How is that relevant? you claimed things have changed since then, show me the money.

This is what I said:

> US needed China against Russia, that's no longer the case.

US no longer needs China against Russia... There's your money... What's hard to understand about that?

(USSR is gone, communism is gone, Russia is no longer the superpower it was although it still is a major threat)

Now, comment above was with respect to:

> US still haven't established formal diplomatic relation with Taiwan, like all UNSC countries, your argument is simply invalid.

Even though they haven't established formal relations, they still guarantee Taiwan, straight from the horses mouth in some cases -> see Reagan/Bush/Trump

"That" didn't happen after "that".

When do you draw the line "US no longer needs China against Russia"?

In your opinion, does US need China against Russia?

In my opinion, not since 1989 when USSR crumbled.

Also, it's irrelevant, George Bush is quoted directly that US will intervene to defend Taiwan, same policy was from Reagan well within cold war. So I stand corrected, it does not matter if US needs or not China, it will intervene.
