This just makes any opposition to China doing the same thing to Taiwanese leadership that much more flimsy and hypocritical. Semiconductor access is far more important than Venezuelan oil, and that’s setting aside the moral implications of this move. Really dumb.
Nobody gives a shit about oil anymore now that we have alternatives, which could save the world, but cheeto wants so we get war and an absolutely devastated planet after, instead.
Yay!
Taiwans only saving grace is the US couldn't care less about hypocrisy when protecting it's interests. The bad side is Taiwan is their intetest. Not their ally, not their partner, an American interest. To be used and discarded as soon as they're no longer interesting.
Taiwan is a colony.
