Has the US urgently halted arms sales to Taiwan? A surprising message from US officials, Trump's visit to China, and the Sino-US sides have already reached an agreement! On February 20, a White House official confirmed that President Trump will visit China from March 31 to April 2. This is an important diplomatic trip for Trump after returning to the White House. French media stated that the White House did not disclose more details about the itinerary. Obviously, this disclosure by a White House official is unusual.

Why is that said? There are mainly two reasons. First, the one who disclosed the information is a White House official, not Western media, which indicates a very high reliability of the information. Second, although we have not released relevant information, previous U.S. media has openly stated that whether Trump can visit China hinges on the arms sales to Taiwan. This time, the U.S. released the information in advance, which means the U.S. must have urgently halted or frozen the arms sales to Taiwan. It's obvious, we have clearly drawn a red line on the Taiwan issue, and we will not make any concessions on this issue. The U.S. can only choose between two options.

In fact, from the perspective of Sino-U.S. relations, the U.S. has shown great eagerness regarding the visit to China, while we have expressed our importance of Sino-U.S. relations, but have not confirmed specific issues. The reason why the U.S. is so eager to confirm the visit schedule is essentially due to interest pressure. The White House actively released the news of the visit to China, and must freeze or cancel the arms sales to Taiwan, and show sincerity with practical actions to gain smooth progress of high-level dialogue between the two countries. Obviously, the initiative in the Taiwan Strait confrontation is firmly in our hands, and the plan of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to rely on the U.S. to seek independence is becoming increasingly bankrupt.
