I finally figured out my thesis question: When reflecting on the Taiwan Strait Crisis and the events that took place which caused it to end peacefully, Would a declaration of independence by Taiwan today end in war or self-sovereignty?
After all the stuff I’ve looked at the answer is that it would end in War and Taiwan would be horribly beaten because the US wouldn’t be able to come to their aid at the moment and no other country wants to piss off China.
That being said, for my final report I will be showing a clip frm West wing which easily explains all the different facets of the Taiwan Strait Crisis and how everything is interconnected. It helps to explain how one thing affected another. I will try to find a link to a clip on the web, I’m not sure if there is one. But if you have West Wing Season 3 episode 15 titled “Hartsfield Landing” the portion that I will show is the second to last scene that can be chosen of Sam and Bartlet playing chess and Sam finally realizing how all the pieces work in the Crisis. And then he explains how it works and you get this, Wow, suddenly all this random stuff makes sense feeling.
