The 2020 US presidential elections are ending, and the triangular relationship between the United States, China, and Taiwan is even more critical to the security of the Taiwan Strait, and has also attracted the attention of the international community. Affected by the fighting between the United States and China over the past decades, peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait have been unprecedentedly challenged in recent decades, and tensions are approaching a tipping point. Taiwan is in an important strategic position in the first island chain and must understand the development of the regional situation and respond with caution.
In this regard, Zhang Wuyue said today at the “New International Bureau after the US Elections” symposium that China is very concerned about the US presidential elections, but that officials and the media, such as the People, you shouldn’t talk about it. This unusually low profile should have your consideration. According to its analysis, China believes that the two sides in the US elections are even and have a high degree of tension, so that American society is divided; Although there are completely different confrontations before and after the US elections, the only consensus between the two sides during the electoral process is Chinese politics.
Zhang Wuyue said that Chinese think tanks like Sun Yafu, vice president of the Association for Cross-Strait Relations, believe that regardless of any change in the US political situation, treat China as a strategic opponent and obstruct reunification. of Taiwan will not change. The difference is unilateralism or the establishment of a common front with allies to contain China. Therefore, what the Beijing authorities have to face is a United States that has returned to international organizations and repaired relations with allies.

Lin Wencheng, president of the ROC Institute for Contemporary Japanese Studies, said that if Trump had not been due to Wuhan pneumonia, he would have been re-elected without issue in this election. “Beijing finally invented a way for Trump to resign.” However, Taiwan’s position in the first island chain forces the United States to continue to support Taiwan.
Lin Wencheng pointed out that Biden can maintain a cooperative relationship with China to curb nuclear proliferation or climate change; But the duties imposed on China may not be canceled anytime soon. China hopes Biden will be elected this time, so it will give him a honeymoon period, but China’s long-term threat to Taiwan will not change.
