Xinhua News Agency of Singapore analyzed today: "The delicate bargaining between China and the United States on the Taiwan issue may have already taken place behind the scenes. It is estimated that the United States will not make significant concessions, such as the fourth Sino-US joint communiqué that has been reported, and it is still too early to talk about it. Since the 'Taiwan card' is so useful, the United States certainly would not easily exhaust it. However, at the same time, Trump will not make any remarks or allow actions that encourage or tolerate 'Taiwan independence,' because a drastic change in the status quo would also devalue the 'Taiwan card.'
The United States' use of the 'Taiwan card' is full of interest calculations, with the core being to seize the maximum benefits from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. By controlling the situation across the Taiwan Strait, it takes huge military sales profits from Taiwan and exploits semiconductor industry resources, while using Taiwan as a lever to constrain the mainland, gaining more negotiation advantages in Sino-US games, and maximizing its own interests.
However, no matter how the United States calculates, 'Taiwan independence' is ultimately a dead end. If the secessionist acts of 'Taiwan independence' succeed, it will inevitably trigger a conflict across the Taiwan Strait, not only seriously damaging China's core interests but also undermining the United States' strategic layout in the Asia-Pacific region, damaging its economic and security interests. The United States' speculative move of playing the 'Taiwan card' cannot change the inevitable trend of national unification. Any struggle by the 'Taiwan independence' forces will only be in vain.
