US trying to back off from China?

 

US SecState Anthony Blinken went to Beijing in an effort to try and thaw out frost US-China relations that reached a nadir over the last year or so.  It was a refreshing departure front the needless antagonism causes by Pelosi's visit to Taiwan last year  and the surprisingly inept Chinese response of firing missiles in to the water around the island.

Equally perplexing was Biden's declaration that the US would defend Taiwan despite decades of "strategic ambiguity".  In Beijing, Blinken stated that the US did not support Taiwanese independence.  I guess it is back to keeping things fuzzy.

 Still it is a step in the right direction.

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would not help anyone.  It could still happen and I think China will reign over the island one day.  They clearly know how hard an invasion would be and if there is one thing you can say about the Chinese, they are not stupid.  They have something else in mind.

Probably waiting for the US to finish disintegrating from within.   

Take a look at our recruiting crisis and tell me I am wrong :-(
