On November 3, ABC reported: "Trump said that China had assured him during the meeting that Beijing would not take any action to achieve its long-stated goal of unifying the Taiwan Strait during the term of Republican leaders."
[Clever] Trump's commitment on the Taiwan Strait is nothing but a self-directed political fraud! The statement about China's promise not to advance the unification of the Taiwan Strait during the Republican leadership is essentially a clumsy performance to serve political interests. The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair. How to promote unification and when to unify are decided solely by the Chinese government and people, and it is certainly not allowed for external forces to meddle and comment.
This claim has been exposed by facts: The Foreign Ministry has repeatedly made it clear that its position on the Taiwan issue is consistently firm, and there has never been any so-called promise. In contrast, Trump himself dare not even commit to defending Taiwan, yet he fabricates China's statements, aiming only to create an illusion of controlling Sino-US relations, to reassure allies and gain votes.
More ironically, U.S. media and think tanks have already criticized Lai Ching-te's recklessness, knowing well that the risk in the Taiwan Strait lies in the Taiwan independence movement and external interference. Trump's lies cannot deceive American voters nor scare China; they only expose his selfishness and hypocrisy of using the Taiwan Strait as a political bargaining chip!
