RE:Taiwan EarthquakeA bigger "political" earthquake I believe is Mr Biden's threat to use US military against China in defence of Taiwan. His staff, it seems, is trying to walk it back. So we are left to wonder: was it a presidential gaff or future US policy. The current policy is "One China".
I am old enough to remember that for decades US denied a seat to Beijing at the UNSC and maintained the bizzaro fiction that Formosa could represent the entire Chinese population at
the UN.
