Regarding the future trilateral relationship between Taiwan, the United States and China, Song Wendi, a researcher at the China Center for Global Studies in Australia, said bluntly on the 9th: “Trump is good at head-to-head and Biden prefers fights. group “. This may be an opportunity for Taiwan to increase the international space. Election victory can be described as “short and long, long.”

The 2020 US presidential elections are ending. 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 across the Taiwan Strait have been unprecedentedly challenged in recent decades, and tensions are nearing 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, Song Wendi said at the “New International Office after the US Elections” symposium on the 9th, “Trump is good at singles and Biden prefers group fights.” As the world hegemony, the United States must control costs and judge the Biden administration. Embrace multilateralism and coordinate with allies to share costs.
Compared to Trump’s repeated “withdrawal”, Song Wendi believes that a multilateral mechanism with US participation is better than a multilateral mechanism without US participation. This may be an opportunity for Taiwan to increase the international space. Therefore, Biden’s victory can be described as “brief.” Long space is long. “

In addition, Song Wendi also predicted that several high-ranking Obama-era officials will return, including Blinken (Antony Blinken), Sullivan (Jake Sullivan), Jeffrey Prescott, Ely Ratner, Michele Flournoy and Kurt Campbell.
Song Wendi said that among them, Flornoy and Campbell used to be in charge of the Ministry of National Defense and the Council of State, respectively. During their tenure, they promoted many important initiatives for the Asia-Pacific region, including the “Air-Sea Battle Concept” and the announcement. The situation in the South China Sea involves important national interests of the United States. At present, Washington’s attitude toward Beijing has shifted from a balance between “competition” and “cooperation” to a balance between “competition” and “conflict.” Therefore, US policy toward China will not be “softened” in essence.
