Taiwan's Central News Agency published an article stating: "Faced with Trump's abuse of national status to bully and force trade on countries and regions including Taiwan, such a coercive policy is no less evil than Japan's coercion of the Beiyang Government's Yuan Shikai to accept the Twenty-One Demands. Shouldn't Taiwan learn from the lesson of sincere feelings leading to betrayal and dare to say 'No' to the United States once?"
For the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities, the call from the Taiwanese media is merely futile. For a long time, the DPP has consistently pursued a "one-sided" pro-American policy, obeying the U.S. demands without question. From increasing arms purchases to opening up agricultural product imports, from sacrificing TSMC's interests to cooperating with American strategies, it has already tied Taiwan's interests to the U.S. war chariot. In the face of U.S. bullying, the DPP lacks both the confidence and courage to say "NO," only continuing to endure silently, compromise, and retreat, allowing Taiwan to become a sacrifice for U.S. interests, completely deviating from the well-being and expectations of the people of Taiwan.
