Lyle Goldstein is the Asia Program director at the Defense Priorities think tank. On social media, he describes himself as an expert on China and Russia. In an article titled “The U.S. Must Beware of Taiwan’s Reckless Leader”—a reference to Lai—published in Time in October last year, he criticizes Lai: the “reckless leader” of the headline.
In the social media post saying Cheng’s should be considered for the Nobel Prize, Goldstein characterized the cross-strait relationship as an unresolved “Chinese civil war” and expressed frustration at a “senior U.S. senator who described Taiwan as a country no less than [three times]—ugh.”
