Washington has no official relations with Taiwan, which split with the communist-ruled mainland in 1949 following a civil war. The Trump administration has made gestures toward Taiwan as relations with Beijing soured. This month, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar became the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit, prompting a Chinese protest.
Christensen has previously attended events with Tsai, but Sunday’s was unusually high-profile. Some Taiwan TV channels broadcast the memorial live.Previous Taiwanese presidents have spoken at the memorial. Tsai, who took office in 2016, made no speech last year but talked to reporters about events in Hong Kong.
Good. Taiwan is a beautiful country with wonderful people. I've been there many times. China does not need to ruin it like Hong Kong with their dictatorship and communism.
About time we put Taiwan on the map.
Screw China.
Shameful. We should never do anything to irritate our Chinese friends. Biden says they are no threat.
FUCK CCP, FREE CHINA!
Well the Trump Administration stuffed up the China Trade Deal so they now will be desperately looking for something! What a waste of taxpayer's money! POTUS
Well done.
