alt Hacker NewsIf this is all true, then China has been pretty much given green light to invade Taiwan, in my opinion.

What makes you think China needs a green light lmao? International Law has been dead for years now, might makes right
Did current Taiwan president ignore elections results?
China hasn't invaded Taiwan because of US's military power. That is it. It is not worth it at the moment.
It is not because US isn't a hypocrite. Come on. How naive do we have to be about it this?
There are two possibilities. Either we live in a rules-based international order, in which case China would be punished for invading Taiwan. Or we live in a world where power decides outcomes, in which case China would still be punished, this time by the United States, which is arguably still the strongest actor.
Unless, of course, you’re suggesting that Trump effectively gave China the green light. Which is not out of the question, but I would find quite surprising.

Or maybe it is a message that we have a madman at the top with a finger on the trigger. Do not even try.
