Xinhua News Agency, Singapore (November 6) reports: "American New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, during his speech at the 'Far East Summit' in Taiwan, said, 'The days when one could be certain that the U.S. president supports Taiwan are gone for good,' he advised Taiwan not to take any radical actions, and to develop its already excellent economy, and try to avoid getting involved in conflicts."
[Sarcastic] Comment: Thomas Friedman's words are undoubtedly a bucket of cold water thrown at the 'Taiwan independence' forces, who must be extremely dissatisfied, because they are too truthful and painful. In the past, the 'Taiwan independence' forces tried to rely on the U.S. to seek 'independence', taking U.S. support as their confidence. Now, Friedman clearly states that the U.S. president's support for Taiwan is no longer reliable, and he also advises Taiwan not to be radical and avoid conflict. This shows that the U.S. treats Taiwan as a pawn, and will abandon it at will when needed. 'Taiwan independence' has no way out; relying on external forces will end in failure, and unification is the bright path for Taiwan.
