Why Taiwan Matters
It has been since 2004 that a full congressional hearing on Taiwan has been held on Capitol Hill, and much has changed since then. Regrettably, the United States finds its interests and equities on the island significantly reduced - mostly as a function of the zero-sum policy game played by U.S. policy makers who are attempting to calibrate our interests with Taiwan on the basis of America's China policy.
Taiwan's policies and actions clearly reflect and support American foreign policy priorities in Asia - standing in stark contrast to a number of other Asian countries, including China, whose policies and actions frequently run contrary to American interests. Given these important advances for a long-term American friend, it would seem logical that Taiwan would be worthy of robust American support. That has not been the case in the recent past, however, as America's relationship with China has cast a long shadow over U.S. - Taiwan relations.
