Summary
The US State Department removed the phrase “we do not support Taiwan independence” from its website, prompting backlash from China.
Beijing condemned the change as a “wrong signal” to separatists and urged the US to adhere to the One China policy.
A US spokesperson maintained its commitment to this policy while supporting Taiwan’s participation in global organizations.
Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung welcomed the revision as “positive, Taiwan-friendly wordings.”
Many Taiwanese see themselves as a separate nation but prefer maintaining the status quo over declaring independence or unification.
Well that has stumped me, I have to say. I thought the current US administration were all about cosying up to China on account of - how do I put this? - their governance model being an appealing template.
