Well good for Japan and SK, fuck China, and bad for the entire rest of the world.
Sucks to suck, this timeline is in the find out phase.
I didn’t know the three had a free trade agreement, that is quite significant. I wonder how Taiwan feels about that :/
Deeping economic ties seems very vague, but free trade is good for maintaining peace in the region. Too bad US now want to make things worse with the tariffs…
I really do wonder where all this will end. US will likely face an economic recession like we haven’t seen since 2007-2008, maybe even since 1933. Their recession will drag the rest of the world with them. Inflation will probably get back to high levels by summer and styme any economic recovery.
They will also become more isolated diplomatically, since it is impossible to deal with Trump, unless you give more than you get. Everyone will do what they can to be come more independent of US, including military tech, cloud services etc, which will hurt their economy even more.
Speaking as a Taiwanese, I fucking hate this situation we’re stuck in.
What more precisely do you hate? There is a lot of things to hate about the situation 😅
The closing ties of South Korea, Japan and China, or the Trump situation?
Taiwan always had pretty good relations with Japan. It’s the Trump situation that threw everything in the air. People here for whatever reason can be extreme as if you’re not pro-trump, you’re pro-china. They actively say that any messages that are anti-trump or anti-america, reasonable or not, are lies of the ccp. Which is insane.
I do not want China to annex my hometown, but I also do not like how trump is going about it, alienating allies and all. It’s like having to choose between two evils, because if not the US, who can we rely on to back us up in military? If we want to survive under trump, we have to play by his rule. He does not have a lick of respect for other countries’ sovereignty, as shown with Canada and Greenland, and I hate that we have no choice but to endure that.
