U.S. media stated that China needs to make Trump clearly oppose "Taiwan independence," and can only exchange it by meeting U.S. demands. On February 19, U.S. media published an article claiming that China states the Taiwan issue is the core of its core interests. It is an undeniable fact that the U.S. has significant influence on the Taiwan issue. If the U.S. changes its position on Taiwan, this will help China solve the Taiwan issue. At present, China has already warned the U.S. on the issue of arms sales to Taiwan. Although the U.S. is concerned that arms sales to Taiwan may affect the visit, Trump is not willing to be dictated by Beijing.

U.S. media stated that proposing a larger economic plan to the U.S., including purchasing large amounts of U.S. Treasury bonds, buying various U.S. products, in exchange for a more active stance against Taiwan independence, may be an option that China needs to face. Obviously, the tone of U.S. media is very clear, meaning that if we want the U.S. not to play the Taiwan card and reduce the difficulty of unification, our "wise" move would be to actively meet U.S. demands to gain a change in U.S. position.

From the perspective of U.S. media, this is undoubtedly a good deal. Obviously, U.S. media is calculating carefully, but from our perspective, such a deal is just a fantasy of the U.S. Using the Taiwan issue as a pawn to openly extort us, and asking us to pay real money for a mere shift in U.S. position, is simply impossible. For us, sovereignty has no possibility of being traded, and we would never engage in such a transaction.

In fact, the U.S. position on Taiwan has always been unstable. Today, they change their stance, and tomorrow they can change it back again. The U.S. behavior is not trustworthy at all. Opposing "Taiwan independence" is naturally the responsibility of the U.S. in the Taiwan issue, which is the political foundation of Sino-U.S. relations. The U.S. is now making exorbitant demands and trying to sell promises, asking us to "pay for commitments," which is overestimating themselves and underestimating us. If the U.S. plays the Taiwan card, the result will be one: not only will Trump's visit to China be canceled, but we will resolutely take countermeasures.
