US Removes Reference to Not Supporting Taiwan Independence From Government Website
ai generated text
The US State Department has updated its fact sheet on Taiwan, making some subtle changes in its wording. Specifically, the new fact sheet does not include the phrase "we do not support Taiwan independence", which was previously present. However, the fact sheet still maintains Washington's opposition to unilateral change from Taiwan or China.
The U.S. State Department's revision of the fact sheet on U.S.-Taiwan relations marks a serious regression in its position on Taiwan-related issues.
This sends a wrong and serious signal to separatist forces advocating for Taiwan independence and is another example of the U.S. stubbornly persisting with its wrong policy of using Taiwan to contain China.
The United States remains committed to its one China policy.
We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side. We support cross-Strait dialogue, and we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means, free from coercion, in a manner acceptable to people on both sides of the Strait.
My feeling is that this is a pretty bold move, but it doesn't mean the Trump administration will support Taiwanese independence or any kind of policy change of that nature.
No matter how much Taiwan and the US collude and scheme with each other, they will never be able to change the fact that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is a part of it.
