Communism in China is a threat to the freedom of the people of Taiwan, but the U.S. government seems more intent on building up the Communist government than in protecting liberty. A "Second Amendment" approach is an ethical toxin; even if Taiwan could be armed sufficiently to defeat China, she would be forever poisoned by the violence. But at least this approach recognizes the evil of Communism in China.
