Trump wants to visit our country. Honestly, it's a good thing! What does it mean? It means the US has needs from us! The two main areas where the US currently has needs are rare earth elements and US Treasury bonds! As for what we hope the US will do, our biggest concern is the Taiwan issue, followed by US technological sanctions against us. Regarding the tariff issue, China and the US are already in talks, and the current situation is a stalemate.

The US wants to talk, right? Regardless of how the US acts beforehand, they must draft some basic sincerity. Otherwise, what can the US talk about with us? If the US can make significant statements on the Taiwan issue, such as supporting peaceful unification in China, changing non-support for "Taiwan independence" to opposition to "Taiwan independence," and canceling arms sales to Taiwan, then the US and China are not incapable of talking or meeting face-to-face.

Honestly, we have leverage, and we are not afraid of the US reneging. If the US reneges, our control over rare earth elements can be relaxed or tightened, and we can both buy and sell US Treasury bonds. The US is aware of this. In fact, after one round of trade war, the biggest feeling the US has towards China's handling of its relations with the US will definitely be equivalence. Equivalence means that whatever the US does, we respond in kind.

Moreover, from the perspective of Sino-US relations, two such large countries cannot avoid dealing with each other and must find a way of coexistence acceptable to both sides. Undoubtedly, we have seen the intentions of the US, but only verbal willingness has been shown, without actual actions from the US. If Lai Ing-wen does not act provocatively on May 20th, it indicates that the US still has sincerity. If Lai continues down the "Taiwan independence" path, provoking our military exercises as countermeasures, then the cooperation the US hopes for from us will never be seen.
