The US is arming Taiwan because it helps put money into the pockets of American defense contractors and destabilizes a region of focus for American interests. Same reason the US broke the shared China-Taiwan status quo by sailing through the Taiwan Strait.
Why do you view Taiwan arming itself and the US sailing through international waters as more damaging to the status quo than China arming itself and stating they want to take Taiwan?
Because China has no hope of actually taking Taiwan and, while Taiwan was governed by the KMT, was moving towards progressive normalization of relations under the 1992 Consensus?
I’ll ask you to plot a timeline of events in this recent flareup of the China/Taiwan issue… Now ask yourself why the US-funded NED decided to financially back the DPP.
Are you suggesting the US is arming Taiwan to enable them to conquer China?
