For many years, China was referred to as the “sick man” of Asia and it ranked far behind the United States, Japan, Germany, Great Britain. Its achievements in science and technology has placed it in pole position and now threatens the dominance of the United States as the global leader of science and technology and appears poised to overtake the United States as the world’s number one superpower. History recalls that it was the Tolbert Government that first recognized China’s sovereignty over Taiwan, which led to a break in diplomatic relations between Taiwan and Liberia. Despite the generous economic assistance that China had provided Liberia, President Doe broke off relations with China in favor of Taiwan in exchange for cash. It is like cutting off the nose to spite the face.
