if you get the chance: what do you think about the near- and long-term future of Taiwan as a nation-state and/or as a Chinese province (or something in between)? Will America be able to guard the status quo? Would Taiwanese necessarily even want American support for the status quo when presented with continuing inducements from Beijing? What is the likelihood of a Chinese invasion? Since the CCP would almost certainly fight to the death for Taiwan, is the Trump administration (and future administrations) prepared for an endless war to defend Taiwan?
