◤New directions in Cross-Strait relations◢
How long can Taiwan afford not to make difficult choices for its future? It is one of the tough questions asked by long-time Taiwan observer and former AIT Chairman Richard C. Bush in his new book. He argues that Taiwan urgently needs to build a consensus and a strategy if it wishes to survive and preserve the good life that it enjoys, for now.

MOFA welcomes the assurances from both US President Joe Biden, during his interview with ABC, and State Department Spokesperson Ned Price during a press briefing, on the US commitment to Taiwan.
Taiwan plays an indispensable role in the collective security and prosperity of the international community and will continue to upgrade our defensive capabilities to maintain the hard-won freedoms and democratic institutions of the Taiwanese people. We will continue to work with #LikeMinded partners like the US to ensure the peace, stability and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region.
In the course of the interview, President Biden stated that there was a fundamental difference between Afghanistan and Taiwan and that the #US will honor its sacred commitment to its partners, including Taiwan.
Price responded to a question on comparisons made by third parties between the situation of Taiwan and Afghanistan, stating that the US continues to support a peaceful resolution of cross-strait relations consistent with the wishes and best interests of the Taiwan people. He added that the US has an abiding interest in peace and security across the Taiwan Strait central to the security and stability of the broader Indo-Pacific.

“Are you helping or harming us?” This is my serious question to you American politicians, including those in the Trump administration and in the Congress. As the spokesperson for the New Party, one of Taiwan’s political parties, and also a young man who has lived in Taiwan for more than 32 years since my birth, I should tell you that the answer decides our future without doubt. In other words, the very fact I must confirm is whether you support Taiwan independence instead of the One-China policy or just deploy Taiwan as your pawn to bargain with Beijing. To be honest, as you always take it for granted to sacrifice others for your benefits, it is quite important for us to make sure in advance.
As we all know, the US Congress usually tends to challenge China’s sovereignty over Taiwan because of the impact of the military-industrial complex and the lobbies hired by the Taiwan government. The Taiwan Travel Act and the TAIPEI Act are the late instances. However, without the administration’s implementation, these are only lip service. Thus, the administration’s attitude is crucial indeed. So, let’s see the Department of State. As Secretary Pompeo stated last March, the US is now using every tool in its tool kit to prevent China from isolating Taiwan through diplomatic channels. This year, after shifting blames for its neglect of the pandemic prevention by attacking China and the WHO, the Department of State recently expressed support for Taiwan’s participation in the WHA. The above really triggered my curiosity: The establishment of the US-Taiwan formal diplomatic relations is just the most useful tool, isn’t it? Why does the US not use that? Besides, since Taiwan should become a formal member of the UN before entering the WHO, why does the US not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state or the ROC government in Taiwan as the only legal government of China instead of the PRC?
The answer to my question seems that your real intention is not to support Taiwan’s real independence but only to trouble Beijing. Just as Pompeo said at a congressional hearing, the Trump administration’s way of viewing the US-Taiwan relations can consider the threat of China’s rise more than the predecessors, which reveals that Taiwan is only a chess piece for Washington to play with Beijing. Furthermore, since the US has no will to have Taiwan as a formal ally, Taiwan is just a pawn you can sacrifice anytime. Consequently, Taiwan must suffer the worsening of cross-strait relations at our own cost while the US just plays Taiwan to bargain with Beijing for your own interests. The outcome is so predictable that Taiwan should go through a depression for its large economic dependence on mainland China which you are unable and unwilling to make up. Besides, we should even consider the most serious situation that a war occurs in the Taiwan Strait. The scenario of Taiwan military is holding on alone within two to three weeks in order to wait for the US military aid. Nevertheless, as the former AIT chairman Richard Bush said, the implied commitment of the US to come to Taiwan’s defense has never be absolute. In other words, we should risk engaging a war with Beijing resulted from your dangerous game, sacrificing our lives for your lies.
As I already told you earlier, the real threat to the US is not China’s rise but the loss of your self-confidence. Moreover, you have weakened the stability across the Taiwan Strait by inciting Taiwan to deny the 1992 consensus and intervening in Taiwan’s campaign last year, which destroys the status quo and your interests indeed. Certainly, as what Secretary Pompeo has told us, “We lied, we cheated, we stole,” how can we bet our future on the US “glory” of lying, cheating, and stealing? In fact, as you once betrayed us in 1978 even though the ROC government in Taiwan and your government was formal alliance then, it is much easier for you today to abandon us when the deal has been done.
In conclusion, as your government declared plainly in the U.S.-PRC Joint Communique (1972), the US had its interests in a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan question by the Chinese themselves. Accordingly, since you are not willing to recognize either Taiwan as an independent state or the ROC as the legal government of China, we have no choice but to deal with the question of reunification with Beijing by the Chinese ourselves. Helping instead of harming us, you could stop intervening in the Taiwan question, otherwise it will only strengthen the risk across the Taiwan Strait and put us in jeopardy. Thank you if you release your hands.
Taiwan to date has successfully managed the corona virus outbreak, with
less than 20 confirmed cases to date. How are we managing to do so well
here? What is the distribution method for face masks that prompted
Chinese fighter jet pilots to ask for masks in a popular Internet meme?
Foreigners can safely visit Taiwan, but what rapid changes to entry
policies have caused confusion? And why did the Philippines government
equate conditions in Taiwan with conditions in Hong Kong and China? On
Taiwan Hashtag hosted by Ross Feingold, we discuss how we are staying
healthy here in Taiwan amid the ongoing outbreak in China.
