Taiwan Affirms Strong U.S. Ties Amid Tensions with China
Taiwan is confident in its relations with the U.S., despite concerns over U.S.-China talks about Taiwan. President Trump's position is unclear, adding uncertainty to Taiwan's security. Taiwan's government rejects China's sovereignty claims and defends the status quo amid China's 'one country, two systems' proposal.
Taiwan is reinforcing its confidence in relations with the United States as tensions with China resurface. Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung emphasized the importance of U.S. ties ahead of the U.S.-China presidential meeting.
Precariousness surrounds U.S. President Donald Trump's stance, as negotiations with Beijing continue. Trump's assurance from Xi Jinping about non-invasion is overshadowed by his hesitance to approve arms sales to Taipei.
Rejecting Beijing's sovereignty claims, Taiwan's government insists on maintaining the status quo, opposing China's renewed 'one country, two systems' model while defending peace in the Taiwan Strait.
