Fair and Balanced - An Essential Quid Pro Quo

 

Fair and Balanced - An Essential Quid Pro Quo

How do we ensure that China gets on board with Western efforts - now, seemingly and finally, deserving of the term - to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran, the quintessential challenge of our time? If the Chinese will not even agree to sanction the Iranian regime's ruthless Revolutionary Guard, our current approach appears dangerously inadequate.



Quite simply, the United States should initiate a broad military agreement to supply anything and everything to Taiwan, the largest thorn in China's expanding side.

If China comes on board, America wins a crucial partner in stopping Iran. We can certainly live with keeping Taiwan in limbo - they have been there for a while now - and compensating them in some other way.

If China balks, however, then America should execute its deal with Taiwan, supporting an independent and democratic ally. While Chinese power is undoubtedly rising, it is not yet in a position to blatantly challenge the United States military.

America thereby stands up, and not too late, to China, a country which continues to undercut our attempts to achieve peace and prevent a belligerent Iran from exploiting (and/or exporting) its nuclear capabilities.

Particularly in the international arena, China has proven to be a rapacious competitor, rather than a partner, and it is time to acknowledge this fact. At this time, with the US still clearly atop the military heap, it's a win-win for America to force China into a quid pro quo - and not the other way around.
