No we don't. </div></div>

The Taiwan Relations Act (TRA; Pub.L. 96-8, 93 Stat. 14, enacted April 10, 1979; H.R. 2479) is an act of the United States Congress passed in 1979

"The act stipulates that the United States will "consider any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, including by boycotts or embargoes, a threat to the peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of grave concern to the United States".

This act also requires the United States "to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character", and "to maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic system, of the people on Taiwan." Successive U.S. administrations have sold arms to the ROC in compliance with the Taiwan Relations Act despite demands from the PRC that the U.S. following legally non-binding Three Joint Communiques and the U.S. government's proclaimed One-China policy (which differs from the PRC's One-China Policy). The Taiwan Relations Act does not require the U.S. to intervene militarily if the PRC attacks or invades Taiwan, and the U.S. has adopted a policy of "strategic ambiguity" in which the U.S. neither confirms nor denies that it would intervene in such a scenario."

Phil1.....Thanks for watchin' my 6</div></div>

Read it again. We maintain "strategic ambiguity" that says we MIGHT protect Taiwan...but maybe we won't. We are not by any means OBLIGATED by the treaty to defend Taiwan from China though. This allows us to deal commercialy with China, keeps China from straight up invading anytime they want, and it keeps Taiwan from declaring indepenence and screwing up the status quo.

It wasn't a "racial slur" by definition, but an abbreviation of nationality.

Thick skin has nothing to do with racial slurs. Racist remarks, slurs, etc have a zero tolerance policy here.

From Wiki.

IMHO, China is big enough and interesting enough to be worth getting the facts straight. The above is just one of many sources that could serve as a starting point.
