Two bipartisan delegations from the U.S. visited Taiwan recently, sending a clear signal that Washington intends to maintain strong engagement with the island following the presidential election there in January. However, U.S. President Joe Biden also showed some consideration for China by stating that he does not support Taiwan's independence.
Given the repeated efforts by the administration of Chinese President Xi Jinping to put pressure on the island, it is natural that the U.S. is determined to stay committed to the region. It is also appropriate that Washington urged Taiwan to exercise restraint so as not to raise tensions there. We hope the U.S. will be mindful of both China and Taiwan in efforts to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, while also steadily preparing for any contingency.
