Representative to the United States, Xiao Meiqin, changed her name to “Ambassador to the United States” on Twitter a few days ago. Some experts believe that it is an instruction from the United States, stating that President Tsai Ing-wen must have contacted Taiwan and the United States to establish diplomatic relations and return to the United Nations in the next step. However, Foreign Minister Wu Zhaoxie said in an exclusive interview with US Public Radio on the 20th that relations between Taiwan and the United States have come a long way recently. Taiwan will continue to strengthen bilateral economic, trade, political and security relations, but currently does not seek to establish comprehensive diplomatic relations.

Wu Zhaoxie said that Taiwan will not seek to establish comprehensive diplomatic relations with the United States at present, but that there is plenty of room between Taiwan and the United States to explore how to strengthen bilateral ties. Taiwan has always hoped to further strengthen economic, trade, political and even security relations with the United States.
Economist Wu Jialong posted yesterday on Facebook (23) that Xiao Meiqin changed her name on Twitter and called it “Taiwan’s Ambassador to the United States,” and then explained that the official title has not changed, it is the ROC. Tsai Ing-wen did not criticize her when asked by journalists, that would be tacit approval and affirmation.
He said, what is the meaning of this name change? The first assumption is that when the US undersecretary of state arrived, he should have talked about the resumption of US diplomatic relations with the ROC. Then the next question is whether the United States has instructed Taiwan to start talking about it. If so, Taiwan is even cooperating with the American operation.
Wu Jialong analyzed that, otherwise, there are two possibilities for the second hypothesis: the first is that Xiao Meiqin is very happy and runs away from emotion. On diplomatic occasions, with the caution of diplomats, it is estimated that this possibility should not be high. The second is that the United States did not order him to start loosing. Instead, there is a bit of ambiguity between the words. Therefore, Tsai Ing-wen felt that it was necessary to play a little bigger, so he turned America into the army, changing Xiao Meiqin. The title is to force the United States to express its position.
After such a sand-table deduction, Wu Jialong said the best possibility is that the United States will be instructed. This can be seen in the initiative of the United States ambassador to the United Nations, Clivet, to interview the director of our office in New York. Kraft said the United States wanted to help Taiwan participate in United Nations activities, and even allow Taiwan to return to the United Nations. Then he said he came for President Trump. Words can be said very clearly.
He emphasized that, from this point of view, the United States has not only come to Tsai Ing-wen to talk about the possible restoration of diplomatic relations and the possible return to the United Nations, but it will definitely talk about what the United States and Taiwan if the CCP reacts strongly. In response, if there is a military conflict because of this, then Taiwan must make early preparations for what Taiwan sees.
