John Kirby Makes It Clear That the Administration Doesn't Support Independence for Taiwan

Nancy Pelosi is a horrible person, but we have to give her props for visiting Taiwan in 2022 to show America's commitment to the country. "Our congressional delegation's visit to Taiwan honors America's unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan's vibrant democracy," Pelosi said. "America's solidarity with the 23 million people of Taiwan is more important today than ever, as the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy."

John Kirby made it clear that the Biden administration has chosen autocracy, saying the U.S. does not support independence for Taiwan. President Joe Biden held a call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping a couple of days ago.

But … democracy! After the Senate passed in February the president’s $95 billion foreign aid spending request for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, Sen. Chuck Schumer said, "Today we make Vladimir Putin regret the day he questioned America’s resolve, and we make clear to others like China’s President Xi not to test our determination."

Taiwan is already independent.

Biden just gave a green light to President Xi to invade Taiwan!

Taiwan is already an independent country. They have their own democratic elected president.

Now we know Taiwan isn’t a money laundering honeypot for these crooks.

Sorry Taiwan, freedom is exclusively for the countries that have oil or allow the US to launder money through

Hope your absorption is a peaceful one, unfortunately no one can set their profile picture to your flag, due to China disagreeing with that move
