Taiwan's U.S. Representative Dismisses Concerns Over Potential U.S.-China Negotiations Involving Taiwan
Taiwan's Representative to the United States, Alexander Tah-ray Yui, has expressed confidence that Taiwan is not being used as a bargaining chip in U.S.-China negotiations. This statement comes amid discussions of a proposed $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan, which President Trump has suggested could be a 'negotiating chip' with China. Yui emphasized that the U.S.-Taiwan relationship extends beyond security, involving trade, investment, and educational exchanges. He reassured that there is no reduction in U.S. attention towards Taiwan, despite ongoing U.S.-China talks. The U.S. maintains its 'One China' policy, acknowledging Beijing's stance on Taiwan while continuing unofficial relations with the island. The U.S. is Taiwan's primary arms supplier, and such sales often provoke objections from China.
