Literally this entire Taiwan issue would disappear if we gave Japan nuclear weapons.
Former U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns says the U.S. is "wavering" from the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, saying "that's a very dangerous thing to do."
He adds that President Trump rolling out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this week was unprecedented, saying, "We should treat our allies better than we treat our adversaries. China is an adversary. I would have preferred to have seen a state dinner this week for the Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi...She's a true ally."
