Interesting analysis. It's hard to imagine how worrying all this must be for ordinary Taiwanese. Let's hope for the best.

I am darkly curious as to how the Epoch media ecosystem would react were Trump to start turning on Taiwan. I suspect they'd fall in line because the cost of breaking from Trumpism is so high, though Chinese-language readership would probably suffer.

Anytime in the past two decades this would have been a clickbait question/headline. Not so much now, sadly.

I felt clickbaity writing it! And I probably wouldn't have written it a week ago. The Ukraine Tweet was really bad.
