Liu Xingren, a scholar from Taiwan, wrote: "Is the Taiwan issue important? Obviously, the Taiwan issue is the main axis and the main point of contention in Sino-US dialogue. The United States will not give up using the Taiwan issue as a bargaining chip in negotiations with mainland China, and the mainland China will not give up its sovereignty over Taiwan. Regarding the cooperation between Taiwan and the United States, it remains strongly opposed, opposing external interference in the Taiwan issue and opposing arms sales to Taiwan."
It is evident that the United States will not abandon the "Taiwan card." From the perspective of the United States, Taiwan is a "premium" card that can bring great benefits or even no cost for containing China. "Using Taiwan to contain China" is its strategic goal. However, Taiwan is China's Taiwan. With the mainland China becoming the second-largest economy, its comprehensive strength has continued to grow, and its military strength in the Western Pacific has gradually narrowed compared to the United States. The fundamental changes in the balance of power between the two sides have been made. The comprehensive development of the mainland China in political, economic, and military fields has laid a solid foundation for promoting national unification.
