The Trump-Xi meeting has come to an end, and people from all walks of life are paying attention to whether Taiwan-US relations will be affected. Vice Foreign Minister Chen Mingqi said today (27th) that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has obtained repeated confirmation from the United States that its policy towards Taiwan remains unchanged through various channels, and they will also use channels to understand the specific content of the talks between Trump and Xi.
The China Asia-Pacific Elite Exchange Association held a symposium today on "The New Situation between the United States, China and Taiwan after Xi Jinping's Visit to the United States." Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Chen Mingqi and Deputy Chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council Shen Youzhong were invited to attend and deliver speeches.

In an interview before the meeting, Chen Mingqi reiterated that the overall context of the US ambassador to China, David Perdue, and the State Department's Chinese spokesperson Jakob Lengacher mentioned that the policy towards Taiwan remains unchanged, and that Trump himself maintains strategic ambiguity, shows that the US policy towards Taiwan has remained unchanged.
Chen Mingqi emphasized that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also received repeated confirmation from U.S. friends through various channels that the U.S. policy towards Taiwan remains unchanged. All communication channels between Taiwan and the United States are very open, and Taiwan and the United States maintain good interactions at all times and at all levels. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will use various channels to understand the specific content of the talks between Trump and Xi.
Chen Mingqi pointed out that of course we can see that China has always wanted to advance "oppose Taiwan independence", but we can know from the US fact list after the Trump-Xi meeting and relevant documents released by China that this statement has not been directly recognized by the United States, and Trump did not mention it at all this time.
Chen Mingqi believes that it is difficult to imagine that the United States and China can reach any consensus in the Taiwan Strait region when China does not even have a high degree of cooperation on the Iran issue, the core interest that the United States is most concerned about.
What is Trump’s stance on Taiwan? Chen Mingqi: One Law, Three Communiques, Six Guarantees
In response to Trump's mention that "Xi Jinping understands my (Trump's) position on the Taiwan issue," Chen Mingqi judged that the so-called position is what Pang Dewei mentioned. The U.S. Taiwan policy, regional policy, and one-China policy actually include important elements such as the One Law (Taiwan Relations Act), the Three Communiques (Shanghai Communique, the Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and the United States, and the August 17 Communique), and the Six Guarantees. They must be understood in the context of the complete Six Guarantees. Although Trump's words are relatively vague, in fact, since the Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing in May, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio and other important U.S. government officials have repeatedly reiterated this point.
China is trying to create a constructive strategic stability that can only be achieved by "anti-Taiwan independence" between the United States and China. Shen Youzhong: Trump will counterattack Xi Jinping's army
Shen Youzhong analyzed that this time China wants to continue the "constructive strategic stability" relationship between the United States and China established during the Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing in May, and further frame the Taiwan issue, shaping that only by opposing Taiwan independence can the United States and China achieve constructive strategic stability. However, judging from the results of the Trump-Xi meeting, it is obvious that the results Xi Jinping wanted were not successfully achieved, and Trump can even be said to have turned against Xi Jinping. Based on all the information available to the Mainland Affairs Council, it seems that the relationship between Taiwan and the United States remains unchanged, especially the U.S. policy toward Taiwan, which has not changed.
