This opinion piece by Jennifer Kavanagh is very, very bad. Naive at best but I believe it goes further: it portrays Taiwan as the unique trouble maker and basically suggests to let Taiwan disarmed and isolated.
"At any rate, this isn’t about abandoning Taiwan", she writes.
Well, yes, it is.

The Lai administration has commented on the budget debacle, Lai stating that the cuts will have an impact on the operations of government with no parallel in Taiwanese history. This is the most direct comment that Lai has had on these events to date
總統：總預算遭刪對政府影響史無前例 完全無法接受 | 政治 | 中央社 CNA
總統賴清德今天表示，總預算遭刪減、凍結都是歷年最高的情況下，各行各業受影響程度難以預料，且沒有往例可循，對政府的影響是史無前例。他請行政院盡速盤點窒礙難行之處，以及可能停擺的服務，向全民報告，也請在野黨再次審慎思考，讓國家能夠恢復穩定運作。
