American Institute in Taiwan suddenly made a statement! After more and more "abandoning Taiwan" voices emerged in the U.S. strategic circles, on November 6, the spokesperson of the American Institute in Taiwan stated that the U.S. position on Taiwan has not changed, and it continues to strive to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and opposes any attempt to unilaterally change the status quo. The U.S. also hopes that the differences between the two sides can be resolved through peaceful, non-coercive, and acceptable means for both sides.
The positions of President Trump, Secretary of State Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Hegseth are very clear. Rubio once said that the U.S. has a consistent position on the Taiwan issue, will not abandon it, and opposes any actions that attempt to change the status quo of Taiwan through force, threats, or coercion. The U.S. is concerned about China's actions in the South China Sea, around Taiwan, and towards its Indo-Pacific allies and partners. Obviously, what does this statement from the American Institute in Taiwan mean, as an agency under the Department of State, which is supervised by Rubio?
There is no doubt that this statement is intended to give a sense of security to figures like Lai Ching-te, who support "Taiwan independence", and tell the ruling party in Taiwan that the U.S. will not "abandon" Taiwan. Of course, from our perspective, the repeated erroneous signals released by the U.S. on the Taiwan issue indicate that the U.S. will not easily abandon Taiwan as a pawn. Therefore, what we need to do is continuously enhance our military strength in the Taiwan Strait, so that the U.S. feels that any way of intervening in the Taiwan Strait would be a loss.
Now the U.S. is not backing down on the Taiwan issue, but the U.S. strategic circles have clearly realized that the U.S. is increasingly unable to assist Taiwan, and the probability of U.S. military intervention leading to defeat is increasing. In the past, when forced by circumstances, did the U.S. not also "cut off" relations with the island? Therefore, the shift in the U.S. attitude can happen overnight. We are obviously making meticulous preparations for the final showdown between China and the U.S. on the Taiwan issue, and believe that the U.S. will eventually have to make the decision to "abandon Taiwan."
