| You understand my point do you not? According the the Truman Doctorine and coorborated by declassified corespondence, President Truman had absolutely no interest in interfearing in the Taiwan issue prior to the Korean war. Due to that war America felt like it was losing geo-politically and Truman decided that if he lost Taiwan too, America would look imponent in the asian region.
So therefore, it is my conclusion that the Korean war was a blunder because had Mao not supported the unification policy of Korea it is a foreseable consequence that the U.S. would have no intrest in interfearing in the Taiwan issue.
If it is any consolation to you Chinese, I think it is more noble for the Chinese to want unification than the American ambitions of securing their foothold in the region. I include this opinion not to spark an ethical debate about Taiwan, but rather to help you Chinese understand that the motive for this thread is an objective one. |
