For over a year now, a heated debate over the sovereignty of Taiwan concerning the “One-China” policy has taken place. Publicly the American stance has been to not say yes or no. Lately, the President has blurred the line. The New York Post wrote in May 2022, “for the third time since August of last year, the White House walked back comments by President Biden on Monday implying the US would aid Taiwan if the island nation came under attack from China.” Lines were getting mixed up, repeatedly.

After Tesla President Elon Musk pronounced Taiwan ought to turn into an exceptional regulatory locale of China, Beijing and Taipei have communicated their conflict. The most extravagant man on the planet attested in a meeting with the Monetary Times that he figured the two nations could come to a friendly arrangement.

As might be expected, the comments made by Musk have resulted in praise from China and condemnation from officials in Taiwan, with the de facto ambassador of the latter to the United States, Hsiao Bi-khim, stating that Taiwan’s “freedom and democracy are not for sale.”
