Regardless of what one thinks about the specific issue, this is the second time in this thread that Taiwan's "democratic" ideals have been mentioned as a reason to support them.
Newsflash: this is BS. Just as China has preferred trade nation status for reasons that have nothing to do with democracy.
How am I so certain of this? Taiwan was a dictatorship until the late 80s.
So argue away about this case. Just dont be naive that it has anything to do with supporting democracy or American ideals.
