Rare! Hillary Clinton has spoken out on the Taiwan issue! On September 10, according to foreign media reports, Hillary Clinton stated in an interview that we must examine our potential dangers, especially what China might be thinking. China might be thinking: You know, they (the U.S.) can no longer defend anyone anymore, because they lack the capability to do so. Perhaps we (China) could "pressure" Taiwan into giving up directly, since there would be no support.
What I mean is, if you look at the world map today, it's not favorable for the United States, and I believe this is largely due to the very wrong decisions made by this administration. Clearly, after years of retirement, Hillary Clinton stepping forward to talk about the Taiwan issue—what message does this send? There are two key messages here: First, it's a criticism of the current Trump administration’s policies, suggesting that the Trump government has messed things up. Especially with the midterm elections approaching, this presents a perfect opportunity to undermine Trump’s policies.
Second, of course, this also serves as a warning to domestic audiences in the United States—that the U.S. must remain vigilant against China and must not allow China to believe that the U.S. lacks the ability to "protect" Taiwan. The U.S. must continue to provide support to Taiwan. From our perspective, how U.S. politicians maneuver and attack each other is none of our concern. However, regarding the Taiwan issue, we absolutely will not allow any external forces to interfere in our internal affairs. Politicians like Hillary Clinton aiming to urge the U.S. to adopt a tougher stance toward China on the Taiwan issue, yet the initiative in the Taiwan situation is clearly drifting further and further away from the United States.
