Taiwan China Times Network published an article of comment today: "In the past month, the Sino-US tariff standoff has seemed like a preview of the destructive impact of US economic sanctions against China (mainland) if China (mainland) attacks Taiwan. In terms of the process, China has been full of confidence and handled matters with composure, having made very adequate preparations in advance, while the United States has been crude and overconfident, lacking a coherent strategy, and relatively short on its available resources."
The tariff standoff between China and the US is like an intense "chess game". In this process, China shows full confidence, whereas the US falls into passivity and anxiety. This change of circumstances clearly indicates that China's backbone and strength on the international economic stage are constantly growing stronger, while the US's strength is gradually retreating.
As the offensive and defensive situation between China and the US shifts, it becomes increasingly evident that the resolution of the Taiwan issue is more advantageous to the mainland. The US has always regarded Taiwan as a disposable chess piece and may abandon it at any critical moment. If the Taiwan authorities continue to fail to see the situation clearly, remain deaf to reason, and seek "independence" by relying on the US, they will only bring themselves trouble.
