Michael Turton from The View of Taiwan expresses his concerns regarding Democrat V.P. Candidate, Senator Joe Biden's support of our ally Taiwan.
Turton argues that many Taiwanese-Americans believe that Senator Biden is too pro-China, due in part to his association of Wu Sian-Piau, who has been active in Delaware politics for neatly 20 years.

Taiwan is an important ally of the United States, defending freedom and democracy of Taiwan is paramount "...prudence will require Taiwanese-Americans to support McCain...Taiwan is indispensable to the maintenance of the U.S. & Japan military alliance and to the peace and stability of East Asia."
