On Wednesday, US Ambassador to the UN, Kelly Craft travels to Taiwan, an island which neither the United States nor the United Nations recognise as a country. In fact, up until a few days back, official US policy restricted interactions between US and Taiwanese diplomats. That’s because China has always claimed Taiwan as a part of its territory and the US, like other UN member states, recognises China, not Taiwan. But, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has overturned the US restrictions saying they were meant to “appease” the Chinese government.
