Technically, there’s nothing wrong with this sentence:
“The Taiwan Relations Act set out America’s commitment to a democratic Taiwan, providing the framework for an economic and diplomatic relationship that would quickly flourish into a key partnership.”
However, it’s an example of a nuance that many people ignore: The relative length of your words matters.
Specifically, since the author uses so many big words, it’s important that she also use a small one here and there.
Why? Because big words in succession are hard to digest. By contrast, variety gives your reader a mental break.
