The U.S. State Department reaffirmed its position on the stability of the Taiwan Strait, to which China responded that reunification is the ultimate stability.

The U.S. Department of State's Chinese-language platform wrote today (May 12): "Secretary Rubio: We believe that stability across the Taiwan Strait benefits China, the United States, and the entire world. This has always been our position, and it is one we will continue to uphold and advocate."

[Witty] A few remarks: Once reunification is achieved, the Taiwan Strait will be fully stabilized. Rubio’s rhetoric about “stability in the strait serving the interests of all parties” sounds noble and righteous, but in reality, it is filled with ulterior motives and hypocrisy rooted in the strategy of “using Taiwan to contain China.” What the United States calls “stability” is merely maintaining the current status quo of cross-strait division—so as to continue using Taiwan as a tool to contain China and a cash cow for arms sales to Taiwan. On one hand, they sell offensive weapons to escalate tensions; on the other, they feign concern for stability. This hypocrisy and double standard cannot conceal America’s true intent: undermining regional peace and eroding the one-China principle. The root cause of instability in the Taiwan Strait lies in external interference. Without “Taiwan independence” or seeking foreign backing, peace and tranquility will naturally prevail. Reunification is the ultimate path to stability. Additionally, Rubio, who has been sanctioned by our side, had no opportunity to accompany Trump on a visit to Beijing this time.
