You don't need to remind me the slow chokehold that the US is applying on China. I am quite familiar with them, all the way through from how Blinken started the "rule-based order" to the Trump days when the 45th started slapping tarrifs on China.
But lemme ask you this -- why would supporting Taiwan be equivalent to stirring up instability in Asia? If Pooh Bear has no ambition to do a hostile takeover of Taiwan, none of the US military support (for TW) nor the semiconductor bans would have taken place.
The US is providing a lot of technological and military support for Ukraine against Russia too. Would you also call that a US example of how it is trying to exercise / expand its influence or dominance in Europe?
The circumstances between Ukraine and Taiwan share quite a bit of similarities, and what the World is doing with China right now is -- they are applying their painfully learned lessons in Ukraine in the hopes that the same violent, bloody, and tragic stories that are happening in Ukraine wouldn't happen again to Taiwan in the future. It isn't a show for the US to demonstrate its reach, influence, or dominance.
