The Biden administration is playing a "dangerous game" with China by delaying weapons aid to Taiwan, according to the Hudson Institute's Michael Pillsbury.
America and the West have begun promoting the idea of a war against China over Taiwan. If China invades Taiwan, President Joe Biden has said the US would go further than it has in Ukraine, sending American ground troops as well as weapons. While some 37% of US voters agree with Biden, how do you go to war to defend a country from invading itself?
Anti-Korean racism is at the heart of historic and unresolved tensions between Japan and South Korea. It will be near impossible to resolve disputes like the comfort women issue without addressing this racism. This is because the difficulty in reaching a consensus on the Japanese side often derives from the underlying tendency among many Japanese to view Koreans as “inferior” and “untrustworthy.” U.S. actors, including officials, businesses and academics, should understand the consequences of the important role they have played in perpetuating such prejudice and help right this wrong.
