High-level party and government officials said the world has been paying close attention to the billing operations of the US presidential elections. In recent days, the representative office in the United States operates almost 24 hours. hours of the day. Pay close attention to billing progress, and immediately contacted the relevant authorities in Taiwan to communicate with the US general election situation, discuss contingency and deployment methods.“And early this morning, President Tsai also invited Chairman Su of the Executive Yuan and the heads of the relevant departments of State Security and Foreign Affairs to hold a meeting, and contacted the representative of the United States, Xiao Meiqin , to have a full discussion on the current situation. “
The person pointed out that as of this morning Taipei time, the results showed that Biden’s electoral vote count surpassed the electoral threshold of 270 votes, and he will surely be elected the new US president. At the same time, leaders of the international community, including Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, India, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and fellow nations of Taiwan, have expressed their congratulations to Biden in different ways. Tsai Ing-wen is also keeping pace with the international community, expressing her congratulations to Biden in rejecting Biden’s tweet congratulating her on her re-election in January this year, and also expressing her hope that Taiwan and the United States will continue to work together on the foundation of the solid value foundation of Taiwan-US relations. Cooperation, promote mutual friendship and contribute to the international community.
Party and government leaders also recalled that “In fact, what many people forget is that after the presidential elections in Taiwan in January this year, Biden congratulated President Tsai on his re-election via Twitter, and during the President Tsai’s 520 inauguration, Biden also became President Tsai’s tweet congratulated President Tsai on the start of his second term. He also said that Taiwan’s vigorous democracy and its response to the epidemic are a model for the world “. Biden once said: “America must maintain a strong and effective attitude toward Taiwan. Principles, joint inter-party support.”
Party and government officials said Tsai Ing-wen ably used Biden’s January tweet today to congratulate her election. Such an interactive method undoubtedly allowed the Kuomintang and some media outlets to energetically operate the “gambling theory” to backfire. It also shows that the Tsai government maintains very close exchanges and inter-party interactions with the United States. In addition, he analyzed that after the election of Biden, the Kuomintang can be expected to try to reverse and relax the policy of importing pigs and cattle from the United States. If the Kuomintang fights the “anti-American pigs,” this will undoubtedly be the “first great gift” that the Kuomintang gave Biden. It also shows that the Kuomintang is not only “anti-Trump” but also “anti-Biden”, but also “anti-Biden”. nice. “Judging by the fact that Ma Ying-jeou held the” Ma Xihui 5th Anniversary Symposium “yesterday and repeated the” Consensus of 92 “, the Kuomintang was even more” betting on China “and” betting on China. and against the United States “has become the line of the Kuomintang.

The high-level party and government also recalled that, don’t forget that from Chen Shuibian to Ma Ying-jeou, everyone made promises to the US. This period spanned the administration of two different US political parties, Bush Jr. and the Obama administration. In short, the established position of the United States government on this issue cannot be changed due to party rotation. At the press conference held by the Kuomintang think tank last week, the former Secretary-General of the Presidential Office, Yang Jintian, had already publicly stated. The focus of the US side is whether Taiwan can deliver on its promises and rebuild mutual economic and trade trust between Taiwan and the United States.
The party and high-ranking government also recalled that in September, more than half of the members of the United States Senate, members of various parties, signed a letter to the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to support negotiations between Taiwan and the United States to sign a bilateral trade agreement (BTA). It can be described as the largest standing action in the history of the Senate. The co-sponsors leading this joint firm are James Inhofe of the Republican Party and Robert Menendez (Robert Menendez) of the Democratic Party. Members of Congress, Inhofe and Mennández, will remain in the Senate, andChris Coons, who took over Senator’s constituency from Biden and has a close relationship with Biden, is also on the list.
Party and government leaders further explained that, by extension, Bonnie Glaser, a senior researcher at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a U.S. think tank, also analyzed that if Biden is elected, he may increase the chances. to negotiate a FTA. Biden’s top diplomatic adviser, Antony Blinken, also tweeted in late August: “Strong economic and trade relations with Taiwan also contribute to the democratic values shared by the United States and Taiwan and to the mutual commitment of both sides to peace and peace. regional stability. “.YWhen Tsai Ing-wen visited the United States during the 2015 presidential election, she made a breakthrough for the first Taiwanese presidential candidate to enter the White House and also enter the State Department. At that time, Tsai Ing-wen was meeting with Tsai Ing-wen at the State Department and was then Blincoln Undersecretary of State.
Top party and government leaders also pointed out that in another arms sale case of concern to the Chinese people, the Trump administration has successively released 10 batches of arms sale cases after taking office, which also includes some weapons from active defense. This shows that the US government, instead of adopting the past “package style” approach, but adopting the political direction of “normalizing” arms sales, the second aspect represents the confidence of the United States that the government de Cai will not provoke; the third aspect, the United States even during the general election and election day, Gun sales message announcements one after another. Although there are procedures and timelines for your government’s operations, it also fully demonstrates that the US government will not be suspended due to the elections, or even due to the election results. American public opinion supports Taiwan. It will not change. And, most importantly, the arms sale case must be approved by the United States Congress.In the past, members of the Democratic Party supported the demand for arms sales to Taiwan, and arms sales to Taiwan are expected to continue, and several important bills on the sale of arms that enhance the power of asymmetric combat.
Top party and government leaders bluntly stated that in the past four years, the Trump administration’s various practical actions in support of Taiwan are obvious to all, and Taiwan-US relations have also greatly deepened, establishing a good association. Looking to the future, albeit in the short term, the Democratic Party’s foreign trade policy has not yet been fully formed, and the appointment of staff for the new government has to wait a while to be completed, it is supported by multi-party departments , related think tanks and close advisers to Biden in the US Congress. Signs from Taiwan indicate that trade relations between Taiwan and the United States are expected to continue to advance steadily.
