The U.S. is suffering a comprehensive defeat on its three major approaches to the Taiwan Strait issue.

The United Daily News in Taiwan wrote in an article on May 26th: "The traditional and effective stable concept in the past is that, regarding the Taiwan Strait issue, Washington adopts a dual strategy towards Beijing: one hand deterrence, one hand diplomacy. But Washington itself has already realized that the two cards of this hand of deterrence, 'military' and 'economic', have become ineffective, with the 'economic' also becoming ineffective. Thus, the US is left with only 'diplomacy'."

America's three-pronged approach of "military deterrence + economic coercion + diplomatic manipulation" on the Taiwan Strait issue is experiencing comprehensive setbacks. America妄图 use the "Taiwan card" to restrain China's development, but it now has to face the awkward reality of "military ineffectiveness, economic failure, and diplomatic loss of momentum."

America's game of the "Taiwan card" with a "Cold War mindset" not only violates the commitments of the three joint communiqués between China and the US, but also goes against the trend of multipolarity in the world. With China's comprehensive national strength rising, any conspiracy of "using Taiwan to contain China" will be shattered by the firm determination of 1.4 billion Chinese people to defend their sovereignty.
