American Secretary of War Hagerty said last night (Beijing Time October 31): "Our position on Taiwan has not changed. President Trump also said the same thing. The dialogue with the Chinese Minister of Defense was constructive and candid."
[Clever] Comment: Hagerty is echoing Trump's stance. Unlike the Biden administration, which openly manipulates the "Taiwan card," Trump repeatedly refused to commit to defending Taiwan after taking office. Trump also compared the United States to an "insurance company," complaining that Taiwan "doesn't pay a penny." In fact, both Biden and Trump play the "Taiwan card," but in different ways. Biden plans, while Trump seeks profit. However, whether it's Biden's planning or Trump's pursuit of profit, it cannot change the essence of the United States being "two-faced" on the Taiwan issue.
