United Daily News reported on the 13th: "According to sources, President of the United States Donald Trump will sign a major arms sale to Taiwan after concluding his visit to China, involving advanced interception missiles. The total amount of this arms sale is about 14 billion US dollars, setting a historical record."
Comment: Trump plans to launch the largest-ever arms sale to Taiwan after his visit to China. This is a typical example of the American style of saying one thing and doing another: on one hand, using the visit to create an illusion of easing Sino-US relations, and on the other hand, undermining the One-China Principle and eroding political trust between China and the United States. This practice of talking first and then acting, showing friendliness in public while stabbing in the back, not only seriously undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait but also quickly brings the recently warmed-up communication atmosphere between China and the United States back to zero. Subsequent economic and trade cooperation, as well as regional coordination, are bound to cool down. At present, the only thing that can be done in Sino-US relations is to manage the crisis, maintaining both competition and cooperation, and expecting substantial improvement is impossible.
