If both claim to be the legitimate government of China, then our defense of Taiwan is tantamount to picking a side in a Civil War. Which is a violation of Chinese National Sovereignty and thus an act of war.

This is on biden, whether we like it or not. But, man I wish Donald Trump was in charge right now.
