The Democrat Blue Wave vs The Trump Red Wall
With the results now in for yesterday’s election in the United States, an abundance of experts and commentators will wax poetic on what it all means. Republicans claim victory based on Senate gains, and Democrats claim victory based off the House. Simply put, based on historical expectations for this kind of midterm election, the outcome was very good for President Trump.
Taiwan, Micron, and China’s Economic Theft
This last week, United States Department of Justice and Taiwanese Ministry of Justice cooperated to indict United Microelectronics Corp., China state-owned Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co. Ltd and three former Micron Technologies employees.
This is just the most recent example of China’s drive to dominate global economics and technology. Above all, it shows the sad truth of the lengths China will go to steal intellectual property. China’s “Made in China 2025” initiative should be of concern not only to the United States and Taiwan, but to every country around the world that values their intellectual property.
Opinion: Trump withdrawal from Russia nuclear treaty is a smart move
By: Steve Yates
Published: Fox News
Over and over again since President Trump’s inauguration, we’ve seen the same story play out when it comes to U.S. participation in ineffective international treaties. Despite warnings from top experts and former officials that changing an agreement would be impossible and dangerous, the Trump administration dissolves or reworks a treaty, to the benefit of all involved.
Steve on Fox Business

Taiwan's Opportunity for 'State to States' Relations
One of the biggest lessons for me from the 2016 presidential election in the United States was how so many political leaders and experts were so wrong. Many Democrats and Republicans alike felt like they lost the election, when in fact they had lost their connection to the country beyond the capital.
Much of my career was based in Washington, DC, involved in government and public policy. It wasn’t until after I left the White House I began spending a great deal of my time in politics among voters, and that experience has opened my eyes to the importance of work done in the states.
Taiwan's Unique UN Opportunity
Actions taken at the United Nations this last week symbolized the continuation of a dramatic shift in world politics, and presented unique challenges and opportunities for Taiwan going forward.
When bureaucrats in the room laughed at President Trump’s assertion of US sovereignty, they failed to recognize a trend seen most clearly in the 2016 US election and England’s Brexit: a turn away from globalism and a return to state sovereignty and national patriotism. This trend puts Taiwan in a challenging position as it seeks international recognition through the UN.
Trump Counters China's Diplomatic Assault on Taiwan
A September 6 Washington Post column by Josh Rogin advanced a very misleading narrative with regard to US reaction to China’s attack on Taiwan’s international space. The headline read, “Trump is failing to counter China’s diplomatic assault on Taiwan.” This provocative assertion was widely covered in Taiwan and also unfortunately echoed by the Wall Street Journal editorial board on September 11.
