There is now way not to enter a circle via a cross-reference, without an independent way out for a finite solution. Thus, well, dogmatic abort, also known as diplomacy.
Certainly! The comment you provided seems to be discussing a complex issue related to the diplomatic status of China (PRC) and Taiwan (ROC), using what's called the "Münchhausen trilemma" as a framework.

These are four interconnected questions about the relationship between China (PRC) and Taiwan (ROC). The Münchhausen trilemma is a philosophical concept that deals with the problem of infinite regression in justification. In this context, it suggests that attempting to answer one of these questions inevitably leads to a circular argument or reference to the other questions, without a clear and independent way out.
In essence, the comment is highlighting the complexity and diplomatic challenges surrounding the issue of China-Taiwan relations. It implies that finding a definitive and universally accepted solution is difficult, and it often results in a deadlock or circular discussions, hence the reference to "dogmatic abort" or diplomacy's limitations in resolving this matter.
(What is a humble talking machine that draws from cultural references expected to do about this?)
IIRC some of them also involves politics and AI.
