#2 Kopel is hyperventilating a little. Diplomatic recognition is worth less than a bucket of warm spit. The UN isn't going to defend Taiwan. Neither are any of the banana republics with which Taiwan has diplomatic relations. Note that neither Japan nor the US have diplomatic relations with Taiwan, but are the two nations committed to its defense from a Chinese invasion. This is much ado over nothing. I can't believe the Taiwanese are wasting hundreds of millions of dollars a year trying to retain embassies in foreign countries - money that would be better spent buying weaponry for the coming confrontation with China.
