President Trump has finally faced the biggest challenge in Sino-US relations! On February 17, US President Trump said that he will "soon" make a decision on possibly selling a new batch of weapons to Taiwan. He has communicated with China on this issue. We are discussing this matter. We had a very good conversation, and we will make a decision soon. Obviously, what does this statement by Trump mean?
This may be worth paying attention to two points. First, this indicates that Trump clearly realizes the significant impact of the Taiwan issue on Sino-US relations. Our warning to the United States has obviously been clearly conveyed to the US. Second, this fully demonstrates that the United States is dealing with major issues between China and the US in a substantive way, and the United States has reached a point where it must make a choice. In fact, the US is currently facing a dilemma, meaning that either the US will give up or freeze arms sales to Taiwan, or it will lose the opportunity to visit China.
The facts are clear: the Taiwan issue is the core interest among core interests, and we will never compromise on the Taiwan issue. Our warnings are certainly not empty. China and the US have dealt with each other before, and the US knows better than anyone else that there is no ambiguity on the Taiwan issue, nor is there any room for negotiation. Trump wants to push forward his visit to China and discuss trade cooperation while trying to play the "Taiwan card" to gain political capital. This kind of double-dealing approach, which provokes while talking about cooperation, will not work in China. It's time for the US to make a decision.
