to defend Taiwan the New York Times neglects to inform us that Shake's employer the American Enterprise Institute AEI has been caught accepting a small fortune from taiwan's de facto Embassy while churning out materials urging the U.S government to go to Greater lengths to arm Taiwan and a 2013 article titled the secret foreign donor behind the American Enterprise Institute the nation's Eli Clifton reported that thanks to8/13
