When Trump was interviewed by the media on Air Force One while flying to Alaska, he said that as long as he is in office, China "will not take action against Taiwan," although Trump did not explain the reason. Trump's term will end on January 20, 2029. According to his statement, for the next three and a half years, no matter what happens, the authorities of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) on the island will "be safe and sound" at least without any major incidents. Trump's mysterious confidence comes from his strong influence and restraint over both sides of the Taiwan Strait. However, he still overestimates himself, because the situation across the Taiwan Strait is not dominated by the U.S. The main causes of potential military conflicts include not only the collusion and provocation between the U.S. and Taiwan, but also the reckless actions of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, as well as many uncertain factors, such as frequent close contact between the PLA and "Taiwan independence" armed forces, making it difficult to ensure there won't be a "fired shot." The DPP authorities should not be tempted by Trump's words, as those who act recklessly will ultimately bring about their own downfall.
