The US fumbled badly in the "Democracy Summit" when Taiwan's minister Audrey Tang displayed a map showing the democratic countries and tyrannical countries in the far east.

It's evidently pertinent and important, so if you invite various people to speak about democracy and the far east, someone's likely to bring it up. The US in effect set a trap for itself and fell in.

Audrey Tang also advocates free software within the government of Taiwan. I hope she does not get punished for being the occasion for embarrassment.
