Calling on Biden Administration to Rescind Blinken’s Statement to Abandon Support for Taiwan's Independence
Americans Support Countries That Strive To Become Independent Because That Is How We Became Us.
The Biden administration's recent actions have ignited widespread concerns about its foreign policy approach. From the deployment of nuclear-armed submarines to South Korea to the lack of robust measures countering China's growing influence, the administration's decisions raise alarm bells. However, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's recent statement that "we do not support Taiwan's independence" is deeply troubling.
The question arises: who does Blinken refer to when he says "we"?
The American people have always considered themselves synonymous with the principles of independence and self-determination, which Taiwan exemplifies. The "we" in Blinken's statement is more reflective of the Biden administration than that of the American people. This contradiction leaves many questioning whether the current administration truly represents the will of the American people or some other agenda more inclined toward a government down style of relationship with citizens.
Blinken's declaration, unfortunately, aligns with President Biden's questionable decisions in the Far East, including the deployment of nuclear-armed submarines to South Korea. While some may argue this move is a deterrent against potential North Korean aggression, it is inevitably perceived as a provocation by China.
Imagine the U.S. reaction if China were to deploy nuclear-armed submarines to Mexico or Cuba.
China's rapid military expansion and assertive behavior in the South China Sea necessitate a clear and firm stance from the Biden administration, which has yet to materialize.
Taiwan, a thriving democracy and a crucial partner in the global economy, has long been considered a steadfast ally of the United States. China's longstanding claim over Taiwan as its territory and its persistent threats of force in response to any declaration of independence make Blinken's statement all the more concerning.
The recent developments in the Biden administration's foreign policy raise, again, profound doubts about the United States’ commitment to its allies and its ability to lead on the global stage. The implications of these decisions cannot be underestimated, as they risk destabilizing the delicate balance of power in the Indo-Pacific region and emboldening authoritarian regimes.
This concern is in the context of the Biden Administration’s “botched Afghan exit” leaving vulnerable Afghans behind with the Taliban and $85,000,000,000 worth of U.S. military-grade equipment.
Now, more than ever, it is imperative for the Biden administration to address these concerns and reaffirm its unwavering support for Taiwan's independence. The United States must stand firm in its commitment to defending democratic values and supporting allies who share these principles. It is not only a matter of honoring our long-standing friendship with Taiwan but also a strategic imperative for safeguarding regional stability and protecting democratic values.
American citizens, recognizing the significance of a strong and principled foreign policy, must call on President Biden and Secretary Blinken to reconsider their position and take decisive action to support Taiwan’s sovereignty. The United States must reinforce and uphold the principles of freedom, democracy, and human rights in places where it is threatened.
The first step is to reverse the damaging statement regarding Taiwan's independence. The United States should send a clear message that any aggression towards Taiwan will be met with unwavering support and appropriate consequences. This includes strengthening diplomatic ties and working with international partners to ensure the security and well-being of Taiwan.
Furthermore, the Biden administration must pursue developing a comprehensive Indo-Pacific strategy that includes economic partnerships, human rights advocacy, and enhanced regional security cooperation. By actively engaging with like-minded countries and leveraging democracy’s economic and diplomatic influence, threats against democracy in Taiwan and its sovereignty can push back against assertive behavior and defend the values that underpin the international order.
As concerned citizens, we urge President Biden and his administration to heed this call to action. The United States has a responsibility to lead on the global stage, championing democratic values and defending the sovereignty of its allies. By taking a strong and decisive stance in support of Taiwan's independence, the Biden administration can restore faith in America's commitment to freedom and security, while sending a powerful message to the world that the United States stands united with its democratic partners.
The time for action is now. The world is watching, and the United States must rise to the occasion to protect its own interests, the well-being of its allies, and the values that define us as a nation. Let us unite in demanding that the Biden administration changes course and represents the will of the American people in their resolute support for Taiwan's independence.
