In the afternoon of the seventh time Eastern, many media in the United States announced that the Democratic presidential candidate Biden won the elections. Biden also stepped forward to announce his victory this morning (8) Taipei time.
However, as current US President Trump refuses to admit defeat and threatens to continue with court proceedings, if Biden takes office successfully next year, a new political situation will open up. how the international situation will change.

To discuss related topics. Professor Wu Yushan from the Department of Political Science at National Taiwan University pointed out that even if Biden is elected, the conflict between the US and China will not end, but the form and degree will change, and Taiwan must adjust your pace.
The symposium was organized by former executive Yuan Changjiang Yihua. The symposium had two themes. The first theme was “After the US elections, a powerful country pursues hegemony and a weak country will survive.” The speaker was Wu Yushan, Professor in the Department of Political Science at National Taiwan University; For “Cross-Strait Relations after the US Elections,” speaker Su Qi.
Wu Yushan opened with “The Thucydides Trap,” a term coined by American political scholar Allison to describe what happens when an emerging power threatens the international dominance of an existing power. An obvious trend towards war concerns primarily the potential conflict between the United States and China.
According to the concept of the Thucydides trap, Wu Yushan said that the two powers between the United States and China must have war. In the history of the last 500 years, there are a total of 16 examples, of which 12 wars have occurred, which is equivalent to a 75% probability of war; therefore, conflicts between the United States and China are inevitable, and Trump’s tough attitude towards China has its own reasons behind it. origin.
Therefore, even if Biden is elected, the conflicts will not subside. However, the personality and policies of the leader determine the form and scope of the conflict. Therefore, if Biden is elected, America’s policy with China will inevitably adjust. Wu Yushan pointed out that Taiwan’s role in US-China relations is a “partner” of the United States, and there is no aversion to risk, that is, the road to reconciliation with China has been cut and there is no other option . Taiwan must begin preparing to withstand the headwinds.
