Efter att ett amerikanskt regeringskonto på twitter postat en Taiwanesisk flagga i samband med en donation av vaccin och Taiwans president tackat USA för detta i en re-tweet, så tog USA bort tweeten och sa att det var ett misstag att ha postat flaggan!
Talespersoner för den amerikanska regeringen förklarar att USA står fast vid one-China policyn och erkänner inte Taiwan som en oberoende nation. Taiwans regering har svarat på detta genom att uppmana USA att inte orsaka spekulationer och missförstånd!
Vad är det som pågår?
Varför förnedrar USA Taiwan?
Har USA fallit för kinesiska påtryckningar och tagit bort tweeten?
Varför avvisar USA tanken på ett oberoende Taiwan?

Taiwan asks US not to cause 'misunderstanding' after flag tweet removed
”Taiwan has asked its office in Washington to remind the United States not to cause "unnecessary speculation or misunderstanding" after the White House deleted a social media post on COVID-19 vaccine donations that included Taiwan's flag.
The White House COVID-19 Response Team this week posted on Twitter an image giving details of U.S. vaccine donations globally, including last month's Moderna shots sent to Taiwan. It showed the island's flag along with those of others getting vaccines. Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen re-tweeted it, adding: "Thank you to the U.S. for your generosity. Together, we will beat this pandemic." However, the post was then removed, apparently on Wednesday.
The NSC spokesman said the tweet was removed when the mistake was realized. "The United States remains committed to our one-China policy," he said. "Our policy has been clear for decades and has not changed."
White House Indo-Pacific coordinator Kurt Campbell said on Tuesday that while Washington supports a strong unofficial relationship it does not support Taiwan's formal independence.”
