💨 Abstract

Historian Stephen Wertheim proposed a reevaluation of US foreign policy towards China, focusing on Taiwan, suggesting a more cautious stance by the next president. However, Taiwan News reported three flawed assumptions in Wertheim's approach: 1. China has been generally tolerant of Taiwan's self-rule, but this overlooks China's historical lack of acceptance of Taiwan's autonomy and growing assertiveness under Xi Jinping.
