A U.S. delegation visited Taiwan following the election of Lai Ching-te as president. The delegation met with politicians from both ruling and opposition parties to express its support for Taiwan in maintaining its self-defense capabilities.
The visit comes after Joe Biden, the U.S. President, said he does not support Taiwan’s independence. This statement has raised questions about who Biden should be conveying this message to.
The U.S. delegation’s visit to Taiwan has garnered attention, with netizens speculating about the situation between Xi Jinping and Lai Ching-te’s government. There are concerns about whether Xi Jinping will make aggressive moves in the Taiwan Strait after the election.
Furthermore, Canada has congratulated Taiwan’s election scholar, expressing its readiness to counter China’s use of force.
This visit and the statements made by various global leaders highlight the complex geopolitical dynamics at play in the region. Taiwan’s election and the subsequent reactions from international stakeholders emphasize the importance of continued diplomatic efforts to maintain peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
