Taiwan Doubts US Promises, Fears It'll Be On Its Own If China Invades: 'Ukraine Today, Taiwan Tomorrow'

The impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is now being felt rather strongly in Taiwan, which now fears that its western allies won't come to its aid if China were to launch an invasion of the island.

Though the U.S. has reiterated that it would stand firm behind its security commitment to Taiwan, the Taiwanese are now worried whether the Biden administration would intervene in the event of a cross-strait conflict.

A delegation of former officials sent by the White House flew down to Taiwan last week in a show of support, but analysts and the general public now fear they would virtually be on their own if China acts aggressively — a conclusion they are drawing from the fact that U.S troops did not go into Ukraine to stop Russia.
