US line on Taiwan unreasonableBy Lindell LucyOn July 6, US National Security Council Indo-Pacific Coordinator Kurt Campbell said: “We do not support Taiwan independence.”Campbell’s statement was confusing, immoral, anti-democratic and disappointingly common. Taiwan’s official name, the Republic of China (ROC), is a relic inherited from the Chinese Civil War and Taiwan’s authoritarian past. The CCP falsely claims Taiwan is a province of the PRC and regularly threatens to take it over by force. If the anti-secession law were actually intended to be enforced, the CCP should have invaded Taiwan a long time ago. It is time to stop saying that we do not support Taiwanese independence.
