The Trump administration’s term is coming to an end, but US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo suddenly issued an important message in the 9th Hour Eastern, stating that in the past, American diplomats have been affected by the Chinese government, which meant that official contact between the United States and Taiwan was always restricted. Starting today, “I am removing all these restrictions.” In response, the Facebook fan page “TaiwanWarmPower” stated that the United States views Taiwan as a country that has not yet established diplomatic relations.

“TaiwanWarmPower” stated that the effect of the lifting of restrictions on Taiwan by the State Council is really at the nuclear bomb level. Taiwan used to pressure the United States Congress to pass laws. The ultimate goal is to influence the executive authorities and allow them to treat Taiwan more amicably. To deepen exchanges, for example, the previous “Taiwan Travel Law” provided the basis for administrative officials to visit Taiwan. The return to the original point is that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China, the administrative agencies of the United States have established some regulations (self-limits) for dealing with Taiwan over the years, such as how to call Taiwan, how to meet, what places can meet, and Taiwan conditions. In which activities you can participate, etc., a code of conduct has been developed.
“TaiwanWarmPower” noted that today’s Pompeo statement is a one-time abolition of the “Regulations on How to Interact with Taiwan” formulated by the State Council and issued to various agencies. In the past, a few little things may have caused diplomatic disturbances. For example, the former ambassador to the United States, Shen Luxun, raised the flag at Double Oak Park, which was thought to have affected relations between Taiwan and the United States.
So what is the effect after these restrictions are lifted? “TaiwanWarmPower” believes that if it is to be described in one sentence, it is “The United States regards Taiwan as a country that has not yet established diplomatic relations.” In other words, in the future, the US administrative agency can call Taiwan a country and can interact directly with its Taiwanese counterparts (such as Taiwan-US FTA negotiations), and even the Secretary of State can go to the Double Oak Park to participate in the National Day reception, etc., future developments will be possible.
“TaiwanWarmPower” said that in this way, the United States lifted its self-imposed restrictions, it is also possible for other countries to follow up and upgrade Taiwan from “non-state treatment” to “state treatment.” In the past, he pretended not to see you and now he no longer plays with the Chinese Communist Party. As we enter 2021, Taiwan has finally become what we want. Looking back, some 50 years ago, when the Chiang Kai-shek regime was expelled from the United Nations in 1971, the people of Taiwan continued to drift in this international society. It took 50 years. Slowly get what we deserve. This is a day worthy of everyone’s understanding.
