After the U.S.-Russia talks, Trump has made a statement on the Taiwan issue! Trump said that China told him that during his term, China would not use force to reunify Taiwan. I will tell you, you know, there is something very similar on the Taiwan issue. But I think as long as I am here, such a thing will never happen. Let's wait and see. I am very patient, and China is also very patient.
How do we view Trump's statement? Obviously, as soon as the U.S.-Russia talks ended, Trump spoke out on the Taiwan issue, which at least indicates one thing: it is very likely that the United States will play the Taiwan card. The Taiwan issue is our internal affair. If Trump strictly adheres to the One-China principle, he would not have mentioned the Taiwan issue. This statement most likely indicates that Trump has already shifted his focus to the Taiwan issue.
Moreover, of course, we are very patient in resolving the Taiwan issue. However, the so-called assurance that we will not use force to reunify Taiwan during Trump's term is absolutely impossible. We oppose any external forces from interfering in our internal affairs. How could we make such an assurance to Trump? In fact, whether unification by force will occur during Trump's term depends on one point: our assessment of the situation across the Taiwan Strait. If the island crosses the red line and external interference makes peaceful unification completely unattainable, we will inevitably take decisive measures. Therefore, if Trump hopes that there will be no unification by force during his term, he must be cautious in his statements on the Taiwan issue.
