US-Taiwan Relations Intensify Amid Chinese Military Movements

The U.S. has dismissed China's objections to Taiwan President Lai Ching-te's stopovers in Hawaii and Guam, reaffirming that such transits are routine and consistent with U.S. policy. House Speaker Mike Johnson and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke with Lai, highlighting bipartisan support for Taiwan. Lai's Pacific tour aims to strengthen ties with the U.S. amid Chinese opposition, as Beijing views Taiwan as a renegade province. The U.S. maintains a "One China" policy, acknowledging but not endorsing China's sovereignty claim over Taiwan.

Blinken reaffirms US stance on Taiwan during China visit.

During a press conference in Beijing, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared that the US does not support Taiwanese independence and emphasized the importance of the "One-China" policy. Blinken's remarks coincide with those made by Chinese foreign policy czar Wang Yi, who had previously expressed a similar sentiment on Taiwanese independence. Critics of the Biden administration expressed frustration with Blinken's statement, viewing it as a form of "weakness" and a failure to stand up to "bullies."

Blinken reaffirms US stance on Taiwan independence during China visit

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has reiterated the US commitment to the One-China policy, stating that the US does not support Taiwan's independence from China. Blinken's remarks come after President Joe Biden appeared to depart from the One-China policy, suggesting that the US would come to Taiwan's defense if China ever invaded the island. Blinken's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing marked the highest-level visit by a US official to China in nearly five years. The talks were seen as key to the effort to restore and maintain communications at senior levels between the two countries.

Blinken Affirms US Stance on Taiwan Independence During China Visit

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken reiterated the US' One China policy during his meeting with China's leader Xi Jinping, saying it does not support Taiwanese independence and that containing China's economy was not an American goal. Blinken also told Chinese officials that the US was not attempting to "contain" China's economic growth, but is trying to guard "specific technologies" critical to national security. Xi told Blinken during the meeting he hoped the US would adopt a "rational and pragmatic attitude" that would "stabilize and improve Sino-US relations."

Assessing Biden's Approach to China: Insights from Top Officials and Critics

US President Joe Biden's national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, said that the US policy towards China and Taiwan has not changed, despite Biden's repeated statements that the US would defend Taiwan if China invaded. Sullivan explained that the One China policy is built on a series of internal tensions and is about managing those tensions effectively to ensure peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. He suggested that Biden's statements have been consistent with existing American policy, and that the One China policy should continue to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait for decades to come. Tensions in the Taiwan Strait have been higher in recent months, with China defending sailing a warship near an American destroyer and Canadian frigate in those waters.

China protests South Korean president's Taiwan comments.

China's vice foreign minister has lodged a complaint with South Korea's ambassador to Beijing over "erroneous" remarks by the South Korean president about Taiwan, calling them "totally unacceptable" and expressing "strong dissatisfaction". The diplomatic dispute between Beijing and Seoul stems from a recent interview with Reuters during which Yoon Suk-yeol said the dispute between China and Taiwan was now a global issue. Under the One China policy, China insists that democratically governed Taiwan is part of its own territory, a position Taipei strongly rejects.

Macron's Diplomatic Maneuvers: Taiwan, Europe, and China

French President Emmanuel Macron has emphasized that Europe must reduce its dependency on the United States and avoid getting dragged into a confrontation between China and the U.S. over Taiwan, a position experts say is calibrated to persuade China to mediate the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Macron's comments have drawn criticism from some politicians and scholars in Europe, but analysts suggest that he might be sacrificing France's position on Taiwan in exchange for China's mediation of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

The escalating tensions between China and Taiwan.

The status of Taiwan is among the biggest flashpoints in U.S.-China relations, which are at their lowest point in decades. Though the United States does not have official relations with Taiwan, it is the island’s most important international backer. The roots of the Taiwan issue go back almost 75 years to 1949, when the ruling Nationalist Party was defeated by Mao Zedong’s Communist Party in the Chinese Civil War. The U.S. has a longstanding policy of “strategic ambiguity” on how it would respond if China invaded Taiwan, the idea being to deter China from invading and discourage Taiwan from doing something that might provoke a Chinese military response.

Honduras switches recognition from Taiwan to China.

Honduras has ended its diplomatic relations with Taiwan and recognised China as the only legitimate government that represents all of China. The move leaves Taiwan recognised by only 13 sovereign states. China and Taiwan have been locked in a battle for diplomatic recognition since the two sides split amid civil war in 1949. Honduras's ending of ties with Taiwan had been long expected after the Honduran foreign minister travelled to China last week to open relations and President Xiomara Castro said her government would start ties with Beijing.

Taiwan faces loss of diplomatic ally as Honduras turns to China.

Taiwan is recalling its ambassador from Honduras as the Central American nation prepares to switch diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China. Only 14 countries have official relations with Taiwan, with several countries in Central America and the Pacific having switched recognition to China in recent years. China's economic standing is particularly appealing to developing Latin American countries, making it difficult for Taiwan or its supporters to counter. China has welcomed Honduras' announcement, while Taiwan's foreign minister has warned Honduras not to "fall into China's trap."

Honduras to Pursue Relations with China, Rejecting Taiwan.

Honduras' President Xiomara Castro announced that her government will seek to establish diplomatic relations with China, which would mean severing ties with Taiwan. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory and refuses most contacts with countries that maintain formal ties with Taiwan. The loss of Honduras would leave Taiwan with formal diplomatic ties with just 13 sovereign states, including Vatican City.
