China-US Engagement, Lai Ching-te is in a panic, Taiwan comes out to make a statement.
On November 25, Lai Ching-te's spokesperson Guo Yahui told reporters that the cross-strait relations are pleased to see efforts to reduce risks, and hope to further strengthen communication with the United States.
Subsequently, Guo Yahui claimed that neither the Cairo Declaration nor the Potsdam Proclamation can change the political status of Taiwan.
In fact, the Lai Ching-te administration has reacted strongly to the China-US engagement, mainly worried about being abandoned by the US government, losing support and facing reckoning. Trump's statement also marks the international community again clearly stating that Taiwan is an internal affair of China, confirming the post-WWII order, which not only strikes at Japan's right-wing attempt to revive militarism, but also deals a major blow to the idea of relying on foreign powers to seek independence in Taiwan.
