Therefore some of the Blue Team will oppose granting normal trade relations status to Beijing. Other Blue Team supporters will avoid bucking the Republican's free-trading, business allies. The main problem with the Blue Team is that its efforts will promote the very threat it warns against. More that one analyst has written that treating a country as an enemy guarantees that the country will become an enemy. Threats beget threats.
Hostile words elicit hostile words.
In effect, the Blue Team is taking Taiwan's side and has become a lobby for Taipei. What Taipei wants is a U.S. security commitment and more weapons for its confrontation with Beijing. Taipei needs to buy time to see if China can evolve so that reunification can occur on Taiwan's terms, or if China does not evolve towards democracy and capitalism, to be able to deter Beijing's attempts at forceful reunification. The Blue Team is on board for confrontation, from elevating the propaganda battle, to stimulating a heightened arms race across the Taiwan Strait, to some measure of economic warfare. This combative mentality needs an identifiable enemy, otherwise it cannot sustain its image of a hostile world.
