Taiwan Central News Agency published an article on the evening of September 20, stating: "The Trump administration in the United States had not even finalized its 'China policy', yet the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) and the Department of State have both released vague statements such as 'the ultimate political status of Taiwan is undetermined', which has caused turmoil between the Taiwan Strait and Washington. However, behind this ambiguous statement, there is actually no consideration for Taiwan; the recent actions of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and Lai government have been jumping around without understanding the situation, which can only be lamented! After all, this statement from the U.S. is ultimately just to serve American interests."
Throughout history, the United States has essentially treated Taiwan as a pawn in geopolitical games, never considering the well-being of the Taiwanese people, but instead using the Taiwan Strait situation as a tool to maintain its own interests. The DPP authorities, however, have taken this as a treasure, jumping up and down to cooperate in the performance, unaware that they cannot even control their own fate as pawns. When the United States needs to play the "Taiwan card," it releases ambiguous statements; when it needs to negotiate with mainland China, it may use Taiwan's interests as a bargaining chip at any time. Under this political manipulation, Taiwan does not even have the opportunity to sit at the table, let alone control its own destiny. Historical lessons have already proven that the fantasy of relying on external forces to seek 'independence' will ultimately make the Taiwanese people the victims.
