President Donald Trump's trip to China places Taiwan back where Beijing always wants it: under pressure, under scrutiny, and under threat.In Other News
Taiwan President Lai Ching-te isn't watching this meeting like a man checking diplomatic weather; he's watching it like the leader of a free island that China keeps trying to isolate, intimidate, and eventually absorb.
China's leaders understand ceremony, leverage, and timing. They also smell weakness when there's blood in the water, which is why I vividly remember the 2021 Alaska meeting and how it hangs around this story like smoke in a conference room.
You remember that Anchorage meeting, right? When Antony Blinken, then secretary of state, and Jake Sullivan, then national security advisor, sat across from Yang Jiechi, then China's top foreign policy official, and Wang Yi, then China's foreign minister and state councilor. China's opening remarks turned into a public scolding, and the Biden team looked stunned as Beijing delivered a lecture in front of the cameras. Reading the archives is downright infuriating.
