WASHINGTON: United States President Joe Biden on Friday (Dec 20) approved US$571.3 million in defence assistance for Taiwan, the White House said, as the Democrat prepares to leave office ahead of the January inauguration of Donald Trump.

The United States does not officially recognise Taiwan diplomatically, but it is the self-ruled island's strategic ally and largest supplier of weapons.

China, which has ramped up political and military pressure on Taiwan in recent years, has repeatedly called for Washington to cease sending arms and assistance to the island, which it claims as part of its territory.

Taiwanese officials said China last week held its biggest maritime drills in years, with around 90 ships deployed from near the southern islands of Japan to the South China Sea.

Beijing did not confirm the drills.

If the PRC actually invades, Taiwan is on its own. War between the U.S. and China would interrupt trade -- unacceptable to American business interests -- whom Trump will never defy. Same reason he's never really going to impose a 25% tariff.

Well, he did -- but he immediately got slapped down and had to backpedal.

Trump will never outsmart the Chinese.

Russia, China, and North Korea all manipulate Orange Julius Caesar™ on so many different levels I doubt the man even realizes he's been played.
