Anyone think that some provocateurs may have been involved?
Inb4 the us strikes and kills the head of governement in a surprise attack to get attention away from the other war they started in that same manner
Most stable socialist country
However, it has a better healthcare system than the United States
Most stable any country when a way more powerful neighboring country is basically embargoing it.
Taiwan?
Taiwan brings major economic (and other) benefits to its “supporting” countries via its technological exports & is thus too important to allow to fall into China’s hands if it can be avoided.
Cuba brings… cigars?
Which countries are embargoing Taiwan?
One could argue China is right on the borderline of effectively doing that, likely scaring off some trading partners and thereby causing economic impacts - albeit significantly less severe than those currently experienced by Cuba.
I might be wrong, but I don’t think China has imposed an embargo on Taiwan
No, but they are close enough to that to be having economic effects upon Taiwan by reducing the number of potential trading partners willing to risk inviting China’s wrath. Ship captains would likely rather avoid a run-in with China’s Navy.
That’s not true; they trade freely with Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. (which has bases in the Pacific), and I think they trade with other countries without any problems as well. Their chips are shipped all over the world.
