Giving Weapons to Taiwan is not the right way to go

(My other good paper)


The U.S. should not sell weapons to Taiwan. Instead the U.S. should limit our imports that we receive from China.


Limiting the amounts of imports we receive from China, will show them that the U.S. are in control and that we are not backing down. Currently the top three imports from China are electrical machinery & equipment, power generation equipment, and toys and games. The act itself of reducing the amount of these imports will show China we mean business. This would also be a good thing for the U.S. because instead of depending on China to make a majority of those goods will allow the U.S. to create more jobs by producing them here.

By reducing the top three imports the U.S receives from China will make China take notice and the U.S will not need to involve innocent countries, such as Taiwan and Tibet. The U.S is China’s number one consumer of their products. China depends on the U.S. to buy their goods to make them the number one export country. The U.S. dollar is worth more in China and this is one of the reasons why China’s economy is up. So you see this is exactly what we want to happen, to prove to China that we are in control. This will make them rethink their position on the climate change agreement and the new Security Council sanction against Iran.

Many people believe that selling the weapons to Taiwan is a good move to get China’s attention, but it isn’t. Selling weapons to Taiwan will put China in control as this will allow China the power to make the next move. By giving them the control this will make them not want to agree on the Climate Change and the new Security Council sanction against Iran. If the selling of arms happens this could cause major conflicts between Taiwan and China. So by limiting the top 3 imports from China rather than selling weapons to Taiwan would be a better choice.
