** 17-Dec-2019 World View: BBC interview with Taiwan's Foreign Minister
In the last few hours, the BBC interviewed Joseph Wu, Taiwan's Foreign
Minister.
Wu said that the "one country, two systems" concept would never be
acceptable to Taiwan because it's been a failure in Hong Kong.
He said that the CCP is trapped by what's happening in Hong Kong.
When asked about the CCP's stated plans to invade Taiwan and annex it,
Wu said that they're trying to maintain the status quo, and keep the
peace.
In response to a question related to America's "desertion" of the
Kurds in Syria, Wu said that Taiwan still considers America to be a
reliable ally.
Wu said that Taiwan needs more help from the United States:
"What we are asking for actually, is quite simple. It's for the United
States to provide defense articles for Taiwan, so that Taiwan is able
to defend itself, and also to engage with Taiwan in military training
or military co-operation so that Taiwan is much better equipped."

- If the mainland army intervenes in Hong Kong, it will be the
end of "one country, two systems."
- If the CCP does not intervene, then the situation in Hong Kong
will continue to deteriorate, which will prove that "one country, two
systems" doesn't work.
