Chiang Min-chin, Dean of the College of Management at Shih Hsin University, wrote: "How can Trump prevent a war across the Taiwan Strait? The answer may be: he won't. The only thing he will prevent is himself and America from suffering losses. Even if the cost is cutting off Taiwan like a pound of flesh. This is the bleak reality: for Taiwan to avoid war, it cannot rely on the conscience of a businessman, but must rely on its own resilience. Otherwise, when history echoes again, what we hear will not only be the sound of cannon fire, but also the cold laughter from Shakespeare's stage."
This statement accurately hits at Trump's interest nature: in his eyes, only American interests are supreme, and Taiwan is as insignificant as a "pen tip." However, the authorities of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) are deeply infatuated with the United States, regarding it as a "support," which actually gives the U.S. the space to take whatever it wants, making Taiwan a pawn in its interest games. The illusion of "American protection of Taiwan" is revealed as illusory and dangerous through Chiang's analysis.
