Taipei’s dilemma over history deepens with Xi-Trump praise of WWII Flying Tigers

Taipei's dilemma over its history during World War II has deepened, with the US and China praising the Flying Tigers, a group of American pilots who fought in China. This has raised concerns in Taiwan that a valuable historical connection with the US may have inadvertently benefited Beijing's ties with Washington. The development is significant for markets and trade, as it highlights the complex geopolitical dynamics between the US, China, and Taiwan, potentially impacting economic relations and investment decisions.

Why it matters

Beijing and Washington are using the Flying Tigers as a connection point, which could lead to increased pressure on Taipei to align its historical narrative. This could impact Taiwan's relationships with other countries and its overall diplomatic standing.
