New York Times Chinese Website wrote today (September 16): "Opinion: The possibility of war between China and the United States over the Taiwan issue is higher than ever before. To avoid war, Trump could restore the balance across the Taiwan Strait by proposing to reduce the U.S. defense deployment, while clearly informing Taiwan that U.S. military support is neither a given nor unlimited."
[Clever] Comment: If people like Lai Ching-te hear this view from the New York Times, they might be terrified, as Lai Ching-te's dream of "relying on the U.S. to seek independence" has once again been harshly shattered. The United States' attempt to continue manipulating the situation in the Taiwan Strait through military deterrence and ambiguous commitments is actually treating Taiwan as a pawn, completely disregarding the safety of the Taiwanese people. However, the trend of history cannot be reversed, and national reunification is what the people desire and where justice lies. The U.S. will not have many more opportunities to play the "Taiwan card." As China's comprehensive national strength continues to rise, the space for U.S. maneuverability will only become smaller and smaller, and any attempt to block unification is destined to fail.
