The only way to prevail is to deter it from happening in the first place,
We’re going to support our friends in Taiwan,
Today I reaffirmed Taiwan's commitment, as global dynamics shift, to working with the U.S. and global partners. Alongside efforts to raise our defense budget to 3 percent of GDP, we'll deepen ties with the U.S. as we boost investment, balance trade relations and build democratic supply chains."
We do not support Taiwan independence.”
No matter how much Taiwan and the US collude and scheme with each other, they will never be able to change the fact that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is a part of it,
The United States is committed to preserving peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait,
As is routine, the fact sheet was updated to inform the general public about our unofficial relationship with Taiwan,
This is further evidence of the US stubbornly adhering to the erroneous policy of using Taiwan to contain China. We urge the US to immediately correct its mistakes,
The US State Department’s revision of the list of facts regarding US-Taiwan relations represents a serious regression in its stance on Taiwan…(and) sends a seriously erroneous message to the separatist forces advocating for Taiwan independence,
We urge the US to immediately correct its mistake, genuinely uphold the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, and handle Taiwan question with utmost caution. The US must stop exploiting Taiwan question to contain China, stop upgrading substantive US-Taiwan island relations, stop supporting Taiwan's attempts to expand its international space, and stop condoning and supporting 'Taiwan independence', in order to avoid causing further serious damage to China-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits,
The United States remains committed to its one China policy,
Selling out Taiwan and appeasing the US will not bring security to Taiwan; it will only harm the interests of the Taiwan people and create instability in the Taiwan Straits,
We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side. We support cross-Strait dialogue, and we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means, free from coercion, in a manner acceptable to people on both sides of the Strait,
My feeling is that this is a pretty bold move, but it doesn’t mean the Trump administration will support Taiwanese independence or any kind of policy change of that nature,
