agree
Chinese remained pol power without economic power after Chang Kai Shek took over, this is no longer the case, Taiwanese hold both pol and economic power there but………there are greedy souls there who would take C_A money to run those labs which makes me think that is why Pompeo was there
lived there in the early to mid 80's, spoke Chinese fluently and work import/export so I can give is my experience but not trade happened with any company unless gov't approved, Kissinger closed up US relations with Taiwan at Chinese insistence, when Shek died his son ascended as "emperor" but the war began between Taiwan money and Chinese pol power brokers, the stories I heard from expat community were amusing, when he son was no longer in power there was a power vacuum for a bit but once settled………………………money and power, corrupts all
