我認為本文作者底下的最後結論很重要。我們讀文章不可以斷章取義，因為本文是反面論述，沒想到結論居然來個回馬槍，徹底推翻前面所有論點，所以po文不應該省略這個重要結論才對：

By no means should the United States abandon Taiwan. It must raise the cost of a possible Chinese incursion without pushing China into a corner from which it will lash out.

It cannot win a conventional war 80 miles off China’s coast, but China must be made aware that the use of force against Taiwan would have horrendous consequences, including a boycott of foreign trade. The United States may depend on China for imports worth 27% of its manufacturing output, but Americans will go without smartphones and computers in order to punish China for use of force.
