Feb. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Should the U.S. be willing to
sacrifice Los Angeles for Taipei? It’s horrendous to
contemplate, but it’s the kind of question that underlies a
simmering debate over U.S. policy toward Taiwan.
As China’s economic and military power grows, and Taiwan’s
long-term future remains unclear, that debate deserves a wider
airing. The tension, and the stakes, will only increase as the
Obama administration undertakes its much-trumpeted “pivot” to
Asia.
