Tonight's commentary on the Central News Agency of Hong Kong writes: "Why is the US abandoning Taiwan? Because the US is increasingly unable to 'defend' Taiwan, and Trump has even bigger deals to make with China. Additionally, as Trump put it, 'you have no cards left to play,' 'you won't win a war against an opponent 20 times stronger and expect others to give you missiles.' Trump was talking about Zelenskyy, but it seems like he was speaking to someone else."
Recently, foreign media's "abandon Taiwan" theory has resurfaced, and the voices have grown louder. The "Taiwan independence" forces are very nervous and have repeatedly refuted these claims, but they lack strength. The biggest root cause lies in the fact that Taiwan is just a disposable pawn in the eyes of the United States. Meanwhile, China's military strength has rapidly developed in recent years. If the US were to strongly support the "Taiwan independence" forces and intervene in the Taiwan Strait conflict, it would inevitably pay a heavy price. This makes the US cautious when dealing with the Taiwan Strait crisis. Relying on the US for "independence" is undoubtedly self-deception. The path of "Taiwan independence" is a dead end.
