Taiwan and China are related ethnically and close neighbors geographically. There's no reason to resent or to fight against each other.

Taiwan matters because of its vital role in spreading democracy in East Asia. Taiwan matters because of its strategic importance to promote peace in the Pacific region.

Taiwan is democratic.

I think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.
