Is the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting a preview of what the US is going to do to Taiwan?

Second, Taiwanese office-holders do not fly direct to America. Instead they make official diplomatic visits to central America (Belize/Guatemala) or the carribbean (Haiti), before making a “stopover” stateside in their private capacity. This odd travel itinerary almost never draws the Anglophone media's attention.

So why the odd state of affairs? The US DOESN'T RECOGNIZE TAIWAN as a state. Not since throwing Chiang Kai-Shek's KMT government under the bus, when it still represented China on the UNSC P5 seat in the 1970s!

Every year, taiwan office-holders make a beeline for America, hoping to drum up publicity for their cause.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

But if you listen to the right Taiwanese media, they will inject and explain details that change the fundamental understanding of the information chain.

In the 21st century, it is STILL dangerous to be America's enemy, and fatal to be its friend.

First, all bilateral visits are officially private, non-state visits. But that is as farcical as insisting Nancy's Taipei visit in 2022 was a private trip, when she was on board a US government jet and escorted by USN assets on a circuitous route to the island.

Donald has similarly thrown Volodymyr under the bus, a complete turn of fortunes from the time he was honored at the table by Joe and friends. Remember the standing ovation at Congress cheering him on with “war war war”?

Taiwan already experienced the Volodymyr moment 5 decades ago. Richard and Henry did not keep chiang in the loop about rapprochement, and chiang found out through the news, after the UNGA resolution was tabled.

And the Taiwanese press is gleefully complicit, churning out headlines of xxx meeting congressman A or Cabinet secretary B. The most brazen headlines are reserved for the Taiwanese president in the white house or Capitol, or photo-ops with the secretary of state or president/vice president.
