President Trump Claims China Promises to Not Take Action on Taiwan While He is In Office
This doesn’t make me feel any better because is Xi telegraphing he plans to invade Taiwan after Trump is out of office?:
President Donald Trump says that Chinese President Xi Jinping has given him assurances that Beijing would take no action toward its long-stated goal of unifying Taiwan with mainland China while the Republican leader is in office. Trump said that the long-contentious issue of Taiwan did not come up in his talks with Xi on Thursday in South Korea that largely focused on U.S.-China trade tensions.
But the U.S. leader expressed certainty that China would not take action on Taiwan, while he’s in office. “He has openly said, and his people have openly said at meetings, ‘We would never do anything while President Trump is president,’ because they know the consequences,” Trump said in an excerpt of an interview with the CBS’ program “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday.

China attacking Taiwan would be excellent for America…
…but not quite yet.
America needs to get its new strategic industrial base firmly established… which includes everything Taiwan exports to America.
Then, it becomes a competitor rather than a supplier.
China attacks and gets maximum sanctions. They lose the American market and they lose the market of anyone who doesn’t want to lose the American market.
Once American manufacturing is stable, there needs to be a lot of talk of the new American military bases getting ready to start construction on Taiwan.
