#4 Vivek looks to have said some true things that most Americans won’t understand. He blended that pinch of spice into a cup of pure fantasy - the part about him being president, breaking from China and moving chip manufacturing back to the US. 30 percent of Americans think Taiwan is a sticker and couldn’t isolate it to a hemisphere. China now owns a significant percentage of our real estate, business, infrastructure and most of our politicians. In the debates Vivek does stand a decent chance of making guys like Asa Hutchinson look silly and out of touch. That would be useful in election years where the debates were relevant.

#5 Making Asa Hutchinson or Chris Christie look silly is useful; likely it could be done by mail.

#6 The foolishness of a fair weather friend like this is that he disregards the future potential of people like the Taiwanese. He thinks they're only good for the current generation of semiconductors and that is very difficult to believe. If they're genius enough to pump out the chips they have so far, there is no telling what they might do in the future if they can stay out from under the CCP boot heel. And why should the Taiwanese maintain any commitment to America if they know we'll abandon them the minute we don't need them anymore? Why should the Japanese, the Koreans or the Philippines for that matter?

#7 Taiwan demonstrates that a free Chinese democracy is possible. This is what frightens Beijing the most.
