If China were to interfere domestically into U.S affairs covertly and somehow convince Texas into secession - I would find it difficult to believe the United States would go to war with Texas. If it was democratically voted, most Americans would be fine with it. It would be extremely unpopular to go to war over this. Just reverse it, if California were to leave the Union, most conservative states would say good riddance. Now bomb SF? Not even the most deranged Americans would want that.
US State Department acknowledges that Taiwan is par of China in black and white:
The United States approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations.
The United States has a longstanding one China policy**, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act,
the three U.S.-China Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances. We oppose any unilateral changes
to the status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we expect cross-Strait
differences to be resolved by peaceful means.
From the "Six Assurances" mentioned right there:
> The United States would not formally recognize Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan.
Additionally, the "Taiwan Relations Act" (again mentioned right there) says:
> The act authorizes de facto diplomatic relations with the governing authorities by giving special powers to the AIT to the level that it is the de facto embassy, and states that any international agreements made between the ROC and U.S. before 1979 are still valid unless otherwise terminated.
(noting the that Postdam treaty you mention elsewhere was made with the ROC government because it was in 1945)
> The TRA provides for Taiwan to be treated under U.S. laws the same as "foreign countries, nations, states, governments, or similar entities", thus treating Taiwan as a sub-sovereign foreign state equivalent. The act provides that for most practical purposes of the U.S. government, the absence of diplomatic relations and recognition will have no effect.
See:
While I understand you disagree with what I'm saying, trying to claim that the Taiwan situation is "Plain and simple" just seems an untenable claim.
The Taiwanese themselves have a different government to mainland China, with a pretty capable defense force.
There is a Taiwanese team in the Olympics.
How is any of that "plain and simple"?
Try harder, little propaganda bot.
They, however, find themselves in a race with mother nature to see who will remove them from the continental US first.
US is blatantly interfering in Chinese internal politics and violating Chinese sovereignty while acting as if US has some god given right to meddle in other countries. It's absolutely surreal.
You are spreading Chinese propaganda lies.
The one pouring billions into creating a secessionist movement there is China.
Plus only a clear minority of the people of Texas or Florida actually wants to secede, whereas a large majority of Taiwanese wants to remain an independent country.
