Governor's island visit has harmed interests of farmers in Indiana

Nothing could be more "silly" than the recent visit by Eric Holcomb, governor of Indiana state in the United States, to China's Taiwan.

In terms of diplomacy, he has invited big trouble for his country. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and any US official's visit there is detrimental to bilateral ties. The visit by US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi further harmed China-US relations.

Now Holcomb, with his action, has done the same. The US cannot expect to gain anything from his visit to the island, other than China's anger. He has surely harmed his country's interests.
