    On the one hand I think the people of Taiwan should be able to govern themselves but on the other hand I don’t feel like the US wants them to self govern but more exist as a vassal state.

      Pretty much, being politically captured by US and turned into a vassal doesn’t make people of Taiwan any more free than being reunited with China. In fact, I’d argue that there is every chance that the mainland government in China would care more about them than the US would.
