US-Taiwan relations likely to be become factor in upcoming US presidential election 

One China policy but still trying hard to create tensions between China and Taiwan

CNA didn't show Taiwan parliament fighting???

It doesn't matter how many times the Chinese regime repeats the *lies,* or how *angry* it pretends to be, - Taiwan 🇹🇼 is still an independent country.

Taiwan has a strong democracy and the Chinese Communist Party has no business governing the people of Taiwan. Invading Taiwan wouldn't change the fact that Taiwanese people have their own identity.

HOW FAR IS THE TAIWAN STRSTS FROM THE U.S MAIN LAND? DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THIS IS 1824? SO ACCORDING TO CNA CHINA MOVED THEIR NATION CLOSE TP AMERICAN MILITARY BASES. THE CHINESE ARE NOT BLUFFING.

Ohh look..somebody is betting hard on Ukraine 2.0. perhaps some billionairre new hobbies duting weekends 😊

Why is it the presidential candidates' concern?

It's certainty that the day after Taiwan declares independence for whatever reason. China will declare war 100% certainty. No Chinese leader after China's century of humiliation can see the permanent secession of Taiwan from China. One of the big worries is that the people of Taiwan are not being well educated by their leaders on how dangerous the situation in Taiwan can be and how in this very rough and dangerous games of geopolitics and National geopolitics in some ways it's like a game of chess . In a game of chess you easily sacrifice a pawn, if it gives you an advantage, Taiwan is a pawn and Taiwan can be sacrificed. And the people of Taiwan must get to know this because if they don't they'll be sacrificed. And so at the end of the day the best thing we can do on Taiwan is to preserve the status quo. But as you can see with the visits by Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, there are some forces who want to create trouble across Taiwan Straits. And even Thomas L. Friedman of New York Times described her visit as dangerous, reckless, and irresponsible. So the Taiwan question is a dangerous issue and that could start a conflict.

Taiwan can just make the simple choice ...stop buying weapons and military equipment from the US and not to have any military dealings with the US ... except commercial activities. If this move is initiated and a show of sincerity...then President Xi will be most eager to meet the in coming administrator for Taiwan. There is so much to gain from a good relationship with the mainland ... and so much saving in military expenditure. If this approach is also taken by South Korea with the US ...then North Korea too would likely be eager to have peace with the South , much to the happiness of China 🇨🇳 too ,peace in the Korean peninsula....and peace in the Taiwan Straits . Leaders must have courage and think out of the box for the good of their citizens.

CNA: "US-Taiwan relations likely to be become factor in upcoming US presidential election" Who was it that said, " It's the economy, stupid"

The history of China 🇨🇳 is in many chapters ..to take one chapter to explain ..is to look at it out of context . Taiwan government then was representing the whole of China 🇨🇳 in the United Nations until this right was taken away and given back to mainland China 🇨🇳. So, by logically understanding of this development the Mainland China 🇨🇳 is thus representing Taiwan thereafter, and Taiwan is part of China 🇨🇳 By using its might, the US government is trying to create a base in Taiwan 🇹🇼 until Jimmy Carter recognised that US had too many military involvements everywhere and officially allowed China 🇨🇳 to unite peacefully... So if Taiwan just stop buying weapons and stop US military activities in Taiwan..there is peace ...just confined to commercial activities with the US and we believe President Xi will meet that William Lai ...and all lies will end and there is no more tensions

2024-5-18 Fight breaks out in Taiwanese parliament over chamber reforms. A scuffle broke out in the Taiwanese parliament days before the president-elect, Lai Ching-te, takes office without a legislative majority. There were chaotic scenes as lawmakers shoved, tackled and hit each other in a day-long brawl in Taiwan’s parliament on Friday over a controversial reform bill. Democracy at its best.

Compatriots of China and Taiwan on both sides of the Straits should stay vigilant. Now their nation is on its path to rejuvenation. The rise and development of China is leading the community with a shared future for mankind towards a new global order, and this leaves no space for the U.S. hegemony. So the U.S. is doing everything they can to contain the development of China. It has engaged in wars on trade, diplomacy, and finance against China, but all end up in vain. The only card they can play right now is the Taiwan card, because the international community knows that the Chinese mainland regards people in Taiwan as compatriots.

It has always been One China Policy. Changing status quo is dangerous.

If Hawaii or Alaska wants breakaway from the Union, I suppose it’s ok for China to sell weapons to them. 😂 Taiwan is a breakaway province of China, since the civil war.

CNA: "...Kate Fisher reports from Washington. a Chinese provocation in international waters as one of its warships Cuts in front of an American destroyer in the Taiwan strait the Strait separates Taiwan from mainland China..." Does CNA knows how close the warship is to China's coast? You can actually see the buildings of Xiamen in the distance. Can a Chinese war ship do that off the coast of New York?

Jai Hind. Politicians will use Taiwan separatists to advance their careers. Lately we Indian origins are thick into the exciting actions.

The Taiwan Relations Act is but a US DOMESTIC law.

Proxy war may lead to real war between two countries. This danger had to be averted by knowing and practicing peaceful solution.

My simple comment on Taiwan is if nobody shake the status quo , we can keep peace. China and Taiwan had peace for over 50 years primarily because the United States reached an understanding with China called the "One China Policy" it maintained official ties with Beijing and unofficial ties with Taiwan that has kept the peace for over 50 years. If you don't change that there'll be no war on Taiwan. But if the United States pushes for independence of Taiwan which is by the way what some people in the Trump Administration tried to do which is crossing the red line. The United States Government... reiterates that it has no intention of infringing on Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity, or interfering in China's internal affairs, or pursuing a policy of 'two chinas' or 'one China, one Taiwan'." For some time, the US made those political commitments to China on Taiwan question, which are written down in black and white. Now US has been deliberately ignoring and twisting the history and sending wrong message on Taiwan question. The US has significantly relaxed its restraint on official interactions and reinforced military contact with Taiwan and touted "Ukraine today, Taiwan tomorrow". It has even been revealed by the media that the US government has a plan for "the destruction of Taiwan". What exactly is the US trying to achieve? The Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair. It is at the very core of China's core interests. It is the political foundation of China-US relations, and the first red line that must not crossed in this relationship. China will never allow any external force to interfere in their internal affairs and it's time that US should stop - stop walking on the edge, stop using the salami tactics, stop pushing the envelope, and stop sowing confusion and trying to mislead the world on Taiwan.

CNA is carrying water for the US empire. The world know there's no basis to talk about Taiwan defending itself against Chinese "aggression".

Today, we Chinese worldwide are very happy and congratulate Lai in his inauguration as a Provincial Governor of Taiwan which is an island province of China.

Taiwan island should not become a powder keg in Asia. It should not become an ATM for US arms dealers. It should not become a runway for Western politicians . Lastly, Taiwan should not become an arena for proxy battlefield. Taiwan's people should not buy into the false promises of Western politicians who will take them from a ride, pledge to back them to the end, and then ultimately abandon them. The West's position may waver, but the mainland's will not.
