Do you really believe the punk ass motherfuckers in fla. have more money to bribe u.s. polititians than the punk ass motherfuckers from taiwan?
They may not have more but they use it more effectively.
The exile community and CANF have basically dictated US/Cuba relations for 4 decades to the detriment of the people of both countries.
They have bought and sold more politicians than the Taiwanese and even put their own into Congress.
How many Taiwanese are in Congress? ZERO
Ever hear of david wu?
Ever hear of grace meng?

Hell, we don't even have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan because we had to appease China. We have "The American Institute in Taiwan" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Relations_Act
Yeah, those Taiwanese 'lobbyists' are really influential.
From your link.
So as to maintain good relations with the United States, the PRC offered new, more generous proposals to the Taipei government for Chinese reunification, introducing the one country, two systems concept which would allow Taiwan near-complete autonomy. However, the ROC government hardened its position with the Three Noes Policy and mobilized its ethnic lobby in the United States to agitate Congress for the swift passage of an American security guarantee for the island.[2]
Also from your link.
The act authorizes de facto diplomatic relations with the "governing authorities on Taiwan" (which is currently the Republic of China government) by giving special powers to the American Institute in Taiwan to the level that it is the de facto embassy, and states that any international agreements made between the ROC and U.S. before 1979 are still valid unless otherwise terminated.
also from your link
The act provides that for most practical purposes of the U.S. government, the absence of diplomatic relations and recognition will have no effect.
Also from your link.
The act stipulates that the United States will "consider any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, including by boycotts or embargoes, a threat to the peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of grave concern to the United States".
This act also requires the United States "to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character", and "to maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic system, of the people on Taiwan." Successive U.S. administrations have sold arms to the ROC in compliance with the Taiwan Relations Act despite demands from the PRC that the U.S. follow the legally non-binding Three Joint Communiques and the U.S. government's proclaimed One-China policy (which differs from the PRC's One-China Policy). The Taiwan Relations Act does not require the U.S. to intervene militarily if the PRC attacks or invades Taiwan, and the U.S. has adopted a policy of "strategic ambiguity" in which the U.S. neither confirms nor denies that it would intervene in such a scenario.
