Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Taiwan is a symbol of US-China rivalry or hostility. If the Chinese government succeeds in annexing Taiwan to its territory, then the groundwork will be laid for its domination over the South China Sea and expulsion of the United States from the region; but if the United States succeeds in retaining Taiwan and even announcing it as an independent state, Beijing should be declared the loser of this rivalry or hostility. That is why the Taiwan issue is a symbol for the success or failure of the United States in controlling China.
