Trump’s Gaza grab: America is no better than China
Peter Varghese’s article has a number of factual inaccuracies which I would like to point out.
1. The so-called rules-based order crafted by the US mentioned in his essay is nothing but a self-serving way of relating to the world solely in its interests. The US never signed up to the United Nations’ international Charter of Law.
2. Taiwan has been recognised internationally — even by the US — as being part of mainland China. This is not the case as far as Panama, Greenland, nor for that matter, Gaza. Thus the comparison is invalid.
