David Sacks(@DavidMSacks1):Trump seems to have bought Xi’s framing that Taiwan is to blame for cross-Strait tensions and that US arms sales are destabilizing and embolden Taiwan. But there is no risk of Taiwan pursuing independence and China’s coercion of Taiwan is the root issue. Deeply problematic.
