“The United States has actually had a significant uh interaction with uh the people and government of Taiwan for over 70 years since June 1950 and Taiwan would not exist as a de facto independent state today if it were not for U.S intervention during that time and so abandoning that 73-year commitments uh would have reputational consequences far beyond the Taiwan Straits”
