I think vs spending it on defense spending which would further make us mil parity difficult.

The current government of China becoming more friendly to the rest of the world would help the West (and the rest of the world).

This is not jingoism. The PRC has not been around very long and it's already conquered a neighbor, fought multiple wars for land, and continues to build up its military to subjugate Taiwan.

Being replaced with a liberal democracy would DEFINITELY be an improvement, even if these tariffs won't do it.

Jesus. What a steady consumption of American neocon propaganda can do to a human brain! It's so sad!

Do you even know what that word means? Do you think that Taiwan is gonna be just fine if the US packs up and leaves tomorrow? That things will work out great for the people living there?

You can call it whatever you want. People who have fled shitty regimes have a much better sense for propaganda than you do, evidently.

> Do you think that Taiwan is gonna be just fine if the US packs up and leaves tomorrow?

I do. The World will be just fine as the American empire fades and the US becomes just another country. Even for the American people, for the average persons, it will be an improvement.

Wow, that's a level of faith that even the people of Taiwan probably don't have in their neighbor :)
