I didn't want to sound "tribal", just making it clear that Taiwan hasn't been as bad as mainland China. It's true that there's a lot of corruption inside the country, and I guess that even the USA has been hesitant thanks to that.

Originally, I didn't even talk about the USA's morally dubious nature, which I think it can certainly be pointed out. But try and formulate those points in a different way next time, don't imply something others haven't said.

Nevertheless, I agree. There's a lot of hypocrisy on this, even if I think that it's for different reasons (the USA just wants to make sure they have a way to choke out China's navy through another "friend").
