The discussion centers on the question of whether the United States should support Taiwan's independence, exploring the implications of such support for U.S.-China relations, economic advantages, and moral considerations. The conversation touches on political, economic, and ethical dimensions of the topic.
Participants express a range of views, with no clear consensus on the economic advantages of supporting Taiwan or the moral implications of such support. The discussion remains unresolved, with competing perspectives on the motivations behind U.S. actions.
Some participants reference specific terms like "ICS arms" without providing definitions, leading to potential confusion. The discussion also includes varying interpretations of the implications of U.S. foreign policy towards Taiwan and China.
MotoH said:Taiwan makes ICS arms. good enough reason for me.
Nusc said:What does ICS stand for and what are ICS arms?
Read it anyway. It isn't religious in nature and is a very good explanation.Nusc said:I don't care about passages from the Bible.
Taiwan makes good electronics, but I don't think the economic advantage is the primary reason. The cynic in me would say the answer mgb gave is probably the correct one, but the idealist in me would say that we support Taiwan because it is the right thing to do.How does helping Taiwan give the U.S. any economic advantage?
Why are you artificially constraining the thread to ignore most of the answers to the question you asked? Seems illogical to ask a question and then not want to hear the answers. Why did you even bother asking the question?The key words here are:
ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE
