U.S.-Taiwan Alliance Stands Firm Amidst China's Intimidation

Taiwan appreciates the U.S. for its continued support amidst President Trump's visit to China. Tensions linger over Chinese military activities near Taiwan, as officials stress the significance of Taiwan in regional peace. U.S. policy remains consistent, with both nations voicing their commitment to defend stability in the Taiwan Strait.

Taiwan expressed gratitude to the United States on Friday for its unwavering support, especially amid President Donald Trump's state visit to China. The U.S., Taiwan's main international ally, has reasserted its policy of backing peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that Taiwan was a topic during Trump's talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The discussions reiterated U.S. policy, maintaining the status quo. Taiwan Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung thanked the U.S. for its consistent reaffirmations, while warning of China's military actions as a threat to regional peace.

China's defense ministry remained silent, but its recent military presence underscores ongoing tensions. With Trump concluding his visit, Taiwan continues to monitor developments closely as it eyes potential Chinese military escalations around President Lai Ching-te's second anniversary in office.
