Chris Coons: China Is Not Dictating Our Taiwan Policy

‘We have lots of relations and communications with Taiwan but we don’t officially recognize them’

RUSH EXCERPT:
COONS: "Well, Wolf, you raise a good point, why should we let China dictate our Taiwan policy? They don’t dictate it. This is a matter of cost, what are the costs we’re willing to bear? We’ve got this roughly 40-year-old policy where we provide defense equipment. We have lots of relations and communications with Taiwan. But we don’t officially recognize them. Our president doesn’t communicate with their elected leader."
