In regard to John Bolton, a former American ambassador to the U.N. and a top adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, has calling for a closer U.S. military relationship with Taiwan to “help counter a ‘belligerent’ Beijing.”
“…Dreyer said, the Taiwanese government would have to invite the United States to station troops on its soil — a decision that would tacitly affirm that the U.S. regards Taiwan as a sovereign state. What’s more, stationing military personnel on the island would hinge on Taipei agreeing to a move that Beijing would regard as provocative and whether the U.S. would guarantee to back Taiwan’s security if it accepted the troops.”
