Xinhua News Agency reported that the U.S.-China meeting in Busan on October 29 did not mention the Taiwan issue, which surprised the outside world. In previous rounds of U.S.-China talks, the Taiwan issue was almost always a "must-answer question," but this time it was not mentioned at all, which has sparked curiosity among the outside world. Scholars who were interviewed analyzed that Trump only cares about trade and issues such as rare earths, soybeans, and fentanyl. The Taiwan issue must be discussed at the foreign minister level between the U.S. and China before he can make a statement.
Words are silent, yet more expressive. The United States has long viewed Taiwan as a pawn, implementing a "using Taiwan to contain China" strategy. However, as China continues to grow and develop, the gap in strength between the U.S. and China is narrowing, and the U.S. is increasingly struggling with the Taiwan issue. Therefore, the current U.S. strategy is to use Taiwan as a bargaining chip to demand more benefits from China, while encouraging Taiwan to purchase U.S.-made weapons to counter the mainland, constantly eroding Taiwan. However, the Taiwan issue is the core interest of China's core interests and is an internal affair of China, not to be interfered by any other country. No matter how Trump expresses himself, it cannot change the inevitable trend of China's reunification. The "Taiwan independence" forces on the island should not have any illusions.
