        Do you support the US ceasing diplomatic relations with PRC in favour of ROC and going back to the time before Nixon made rapprochement?

          If the PRC will call off diplomatic relations over something as simple as recognizing a country next to China, we need to be ready for that war anyway because that kind of gaslighting only expands if you play along.

          I don’t believe China would go dark in response to us recognizing Taiwan. If they would do that over something so petty, we need to be treating them as a hostile, non-communicating entity anyway.

          So basically, if we model China as willing to sever diplomatic relations over that, we should model them as already having severed diplomatic relations.
