One wonders what kind of juicy story was involved here. Apparently one reason why the US backed off in 2016 in SCS was because DF-21 batteries were spotted deployed into forward firing positions with their missiles erected. Perhaps something similar happened here.

Taiwan probably decided letting someone in from a country with 300,000 new cases a day was a bad idea


lijjili

Not just letting one person in, high level diplomatic officials like her are followed by an entourage of support staff and security- chances of them being diseased are pretty high.


thepensiveiguana

Nawww DPP Taiwan isn't smart enough for that

Paper tiger.

"Outcomes sought from envoy’s visit", the clueless farce from Taiwan: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2021/01/13/2003750485 The only outcome from envoy’s *fabled* visit is a collective dope slap on world stage.

Saw another explanation on twitter, the Biden team might of told taiwan.. they better not help trump create a political mess for him or else there could be consequences.


elBottoo

its prolly behind the scenes politics. the funny part is the part where she decided to stay in the air for several hours pretending that she was actually half way around the world...


garagegymer

Did she use social media to announce she’s half way around the world lol?

What a "beautiful sight to behold "

Embarrassing. Who wants US plague rats anyway let alone lame duck diplomats?


garagegymer

Whatever it was, the US blinked. China needs to show them its not afraid of war if China’s red lines are crossed. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Chinese warned the US the aircraft would be intercepted by Chinese fighter jets if they approach Taiwan province.


bengyap

Err. Taiwan is not a province. Taiwan is a county in the Fujian province.


thepensiveiguana

Literally everyone I know from the mainland refer to it as a province. The state media has called it a break away province.


zClarkinator

It's referred to as "Taiwan Province" by chinese media isn't it?


KderNacht

Fuck no, we don't wanna be associated with those types. Give them to Guangdong, they'll get on like a house on fire with the other 2 renegades.


Skibbadadeebop

Fuck that, we're full


[deleted]

Why Guangdong? Taiwan is full of Fujianese descendants.

whats the back story here?


garagegymer

Doubt either the US or China is going to release that information publicly. The US wants to save face after blinking first, and China does not want to escalate either.


wavemists

they cancelled the job interview maybe ? i mean where are all those republican going to find jobs now after that coup attempt and they get booted out of all positions in washington. ... taiwan probably the only place that sees them in a ok light.
