...recognized by the international community. Granted, the United States has strong interests in Taiwan and should protect these interests, but subtlety is required for dealing with such a sensitive situation. It is clear that the United States would defend Taiwan if China attacked, but this silent threat should be enough to preserve peace. Selling the Taiwanese weapons will not settle the dispute diplomatically, and it will only exacerbate the current tensions...
