China’s Way of Negotiation

So, when the US wanted to talk to China about their rediculous demand on making Taiwan listings in US air carriers Taiwan, China, the Chinese said no.  This is the way they have negotiated things they want to establish as “non-negotiable” so we should expect this kind of behavior.  The problem with this, of course, is that China has too many things that are put into that category.  Those fighters on one of their man-made islands (just self-defense) those claims in fishing rights that have gone astray, and a host of other things that are dwarfed by the South China Sea where a piece of water half the size of China is at stake.  That piece of water includes a lot of territory in Taiwan and probably South Korea, though few have asked the question, not wanting to hear the response.  When there is no negotiations, you can bet there will be actions on both sides that do not allow for backing down.  Taiwan is not going to be Taiwan, China on very many US carriers.  If it is listed that way when you purchase your ticket, I would prompt you to just say no.  Try another carrier until they get this right.
