But it's still a problem that she wasn't prepared to talk about it. If you want to seriously engage on foreign policy, having a meaningful view on Taiwan's security situation and the U.S.' role in that should be something you prioritize.
And this is the rub, isn't it? You fancy yourself the next Senator of the State of New York, the voice of the democrat party and you think you're Presidential material.
However, most of the time nobody cares what a sitting member of the House of Representatives thinks on national security matters unless you've been in the forefront of those issues a long time...somebody like a Norm Dicks (longtime chair and/or ranking member of the Appropriations Committee), a Dick Cheney (former White House Chief of Staff), Les Aspin (Chair of the Armed Services Committee) or more recently somebody like Ryan Zinke (who was Secretary of the Interior under Trump45 and is a former member of Seal Team 6).
In other words, unless you have a lot of foreign policy chops nobody would really bother with a relatively junior House member at an event like this.
So you head to THE security conference in the Western World and get yourself on multiple panels to discuss foreign policy. Then proceed to bomb a rather obvious question on one of the THE biggest security topics on the radar today.
