Never break the neutrality of a port or place, but never consider as neutral any place from whence an attack is allowed to be made.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People who demand neutrality in any situation are usually not neutral but in favor of the status quo.
While port security remains one of our single greatest vulnerabilities, it makes little sense to give operational control of our ports to a foreign nation without first doing proper investigations.
A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for.
Neutrality is at times a graver sin than belligerence.
We do not wish to open your ports to foreign trade all at once.
Port Security is one of our weakest security links, and it must be one of our highest priorities.
Our democratic system, national identity, and international space must be respected. Any forms of suppression will harm the stability of cross-strait relations.
Our ports are a vital link in national security and it is extremely dangerous to be considering their sale to the United Arab Emirates government.
Neutrality, as a lasting principle, is an evidence of weakness.
Neutrality is a negative word. It does not express what America ought to feel. We are not trying to keep out of trouble; we are trying to preserve the foundations on which peace may be rebuilt.
