It benefits the US to continue occasional visits by higher level Legislative and Executive Branch folks, to show the PRC they don't control our diplomacy. I'm sure there is trade between ROC and Tennessee which concerns Senator Blackburn and justifies her visit.How does it benefit TN for our Senator to visit Taiwan? Not even taking the agitation of China factor into account. It's dumb and nothing more than a virtual signal which she and many on the right are supposedly against.

America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. — John Quincy Adams
