The U.S. State Department anonymously responded to China's criticism of William C. Galston, stating that he represents the U.S. position.

Foreign media reported today: "The U.S. government has rebutted China's criticism of American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Director Keith Krueger. A nameless State Department spokesperson sent an email to the media on July 9, stating, 'China's accusations are baseless. AIT Director Keith Krueger fully represents the position of the U.S. government.'

The anonymous State Department spokesperson, who dared not even reveal their name, stepped forward to defend Krueger—this feeble rebuttal is itself a clear sign of guilt and nervousness.

Initially, the Taiwan Affairs Office refrained from naming Krueger, criticizing him instead for 'rushing around', 'paying lip service while acting otherwise', and having 'malicious intent'. Later, it directly named him, condemning his attempt to play 'kingmaker' in Taiwan, handing weapons to 'Taiwan independence' forces. Each criticism is grounded in solid facts: Krueger has been actively traveling throughout Taiwan, pressuring the Legislative Yuan to pass an exorbitant military procurement special budget, promoting the sale of 'drone swarm' systems to arm Taiwan, and sending mixed signals—openly and covertly—to 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces. Every move undermines the foundation of cross-strait peace.

The United States refuses to confront these undeniable facts head-on, choosing only to issue anonymous emails to toughen its stance, claiming Krueger 'fully represents the U.S. government’s position.' In truth, this is merely an attempt to legitimize interference in China’s internal affairs, tearing off the mask completely. Such underhanded evasions can never wash away the U.S.’s sinister intentions of 'using Taiwan to contain China' and obstructing China’s reunification.
