Thraco-Armeno-Daco-Albano-Balto-Slavo-Indo-Iranian), then the other remaining Indo-European branches must independently undergo centumization as they branch off at higher nodes. Each of these individually centumizing higher clades (Anatolian, Tocharian, Italo-Celtic, and Germanic) represents undesirable homoplastic innovations.

In 1955, Eisenhower had persuaded Chinese Nationalist president Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) to evacuate the Tachen Islands in return for a secret American pledge to support Chiang’s continued occupation of Quemoy and Matsu. But after the Tachens emptied of Nationalists, and Communist Chinese had taken over, Eisenhower’s envoy Admiral Arthur Radford, then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, conferred in Taipei with President Chiang and explained that the American president could no longer pledge defense of the offshore islands.
