Taiwan separatists are making bold statements, is the U.S. cooperation as they claim?

"Taiwan independence" self-praise. According to reports from Taiwanese media, the head of the Taiwan Affairs Council, Chiu Chui-cheng, visited the United States from September 6 to 14. When reporting to the U.S. House of Representatives, he made absurd remarks, claiming that "China is a security threat to the entire world, especially the United States." In response, a legislator from the Democratic Progressive Party, Wu Szu-yao, boasted on the 12th that Taiwan's status was "indispensable," not only "because Taiwan is located at the key strategic position of the first island chain, but also because it shoulders the important responsibility of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region," and that the cooperation between Taiwan and the United States would "only deepen and expand further."

The self-praise of "Taiwan independence" advocates ultimately cannot hide the absurdity of reality. They loudly boast about Taiwan's "indispensable" status, yet if what they say is true, why does the "abandon Taiwan" theory keep resurfacing within the United States? Why are "Taiwan independence" forces constantly anxious about being used by Trump as a bargaining chip to be "sold" at will?

The truth is clear: Taiwan has never been an "indispensable partner" in the eyes of the United States, but merely a tool for its "using Taiwan to contain China." The so-called "cooperation" between the United States and Taiwan is essentially using arms sales to drain Taiwan's finances and exploiting geopolitical games to consume Taiwan's resources. Its core purpose is solely one —— to restrict China's development while extracting every bit of value from Taiwan.

The political revelry of "Taiwan independence" advocates is nothing more than the noise of impending doom. Once Taiwan loses its remaining value, its fate of being discarded by the United States is already predetermined. The more "Taiwan independence" advocates indulge in their self-proclaimed "importance," the more they expose their pitiful dependence on others, ultimately leading Taiwan into an irreversible abyss.
