Americans consider Taiwan to be the place with the highest danger of American troops getting into a war. That risk is not that high and the US would be willing to go though contortions to avoid one. But to say that we would not stand behind an embattled democracy is absurd. I am distressed that Leung has characterized Americans so poorly. The fact that he lives in Los Angeles makes it all the more upsetting.
LA is one of the world's most diverse cities.
There are seven continents and the US plays an active role on six of them. But to raise the notion that Americans are ignorant of Taiwan and Asia as a whole is, well, ignorant. Kristofer Harrison Massachusetts, USA This story has been viewed 492 times. The Taipei Times. All rights reserved.
