BREAK THIS EMBARGO: Peter Nevarro cited Taiwans vital strategic importance and proposed working with Japanese shipbuilders to help Taiwan make the subsIt is time for the US to break a Chinese-imposed embargo and help Taiwan develop its own submarines, a policy adviser to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said.
The construction of such a submarine industry would help defend Taiwan, Peter Navarro, an economics professor at the University of California, Irvine, wrote in an article published by National Interest magazine this week.
It would also create new, high-skilled jobs at robust wage levels the most critical need of a Taiwan that, like America, has off-shored far too much of its industrial base to China, he said.
Navarro said that he had just returned from a visit to Taiwan where he conducted lengthy discussions with experts about what it would mean if Beijing controlled the nation.
He said that Beijing would build a submarine base on the east coast and other bases that would significantly extend the effective range of Chinas air force.

That is against international law. Can he as a private citizen be held accountable for this crime, or does he have to be a ruler?
