But taiwan has nukes now in all but name? As the us becomes a non-reliable ally everyone with money and a shopping list bordering a totalitarian country heads for Pakistan ?
Since when has Taiwan had nukes? There was a nuclear program in the 80s and the US pressured them to abandon it. Even civilian nuclear engineering is not very popular in Taiwan. I’d be kind of surprised if Taiwan had any kind of nuclear weapons program and it wasn’t an international crisis, given how thoroughly each side of the straight spy on the other.
