Taiwan’s KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-Wun is pushing a dangerous fantasy: that Taiwan can stay “neutral” between the U.S. and China.
Calling America a “benefactor” and China “family” sounds warm, but geopolitics isn’t a family dinner. It’s power. Taiwan does not have the luxury of acting like Switzerland and avoiding choosing a side.
Taiwan has never survived through neutrality. Since 1949, its security, economy, and survival have been inseparable from U.S. strategy. The U.S. protects Taiwan not out of charity, but because Taiwan sits at the heart of the First Island Chain. That support exists only as long as Taiwan stands with Washington.
Neutrality isn’t free. It requires power and recognition—Taiwan has neither. The moment Taiwan goes “neutral,” U.S. weapons, protection, and political backing disappear. And Beijing won’t tolerate neutrality either—it sees it as rejection of reunification.
In reality, Taiwan has no middle ground. Not choosing the U.S. means choosing China.
Neutrality isn’t wisdom. It’s surrender of KMT to CCP disguised as idealism.
