The second meeting between Sichuan and Xi has come to an end. Shen Youzhong, deputy chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, said at a symposium on "US-China-Taiwan Relations after Xi Jinping's visit to the United States" yesterday that the development of the situation between the United States, China and Taiwan still maintains "three changes"; in response to the Beijing authorities' deliberate use of the Sichuan-Xi meeting to distort the history of World War II , strengthening cognitive warfare, the government also predicts that in the future, the CCP will continue to use different opportunities to spread "suspicion of the United States", "abandonment of Taiwan", or spread the atmosphere of "the United States and China's common narrative of World War II", and does not rule out indirectly affecting Taiwan's 9-in-1 general election in November.
Mainland Affairs Council: The United States, China and Taiwan have "three changes"
Shen Youzhong pointed out that the "three changes" between the United States, China and Taiwan include "the structure of the strategic competition between the United States and China remains unchanged", "the US policy towards Taiwan remains unchanged", and "the stance of Taiwan, the United States and the international community to jointly maintain the peaceful status quo across the Taiwan Strait remains unchanged".

Shen explained that although this "Sichuan-Xi's meeting" has a high-level pomp and reception, based on the results announced by both sides, the two sides have not made breakthrough progress on topics such as AI, rare earth control, and technological competition. It is estimated that the two sides will continue to "fight without defeat".
Ministry of Foreign Affairs: China is good at distorting history
In response to Xi Jinping's mention of the history of "China and the United States fighting side by side against fascist aggression" during World War II before the Trump-Xi meeting; Trump also mentioned the United States and China fighting side by side and the Flying Tigers in World War II. Deputy Foreign Minister Chen Mingqi believes that Trump’s intention is to point out that “the United States has been assisting China.” However, what China is best at is distorting history and eating a historical buffet, and interprets this as “joint resistance to fascist aggression and expansion.” China may continue to make a fuss about this in the future, claiming that the United States agrees with the statement that it cooperated with China in World War II to “resist Japanese militarism.”
Shen Youzhong said that Xi Jinping was not qualified to talk about the U.S.-China alliance during World War II. Mao Zedong clearly stated that the Communist Party's role in World War II was "seven parts development, two parts coping, and one part resisting Japan." The People's Republic of China had not yet been established during World War II. It is ridiculous to claim that the "China" in the U.S.-China alliance refers to the People's Republic of China.
Shen Youzhong pointed out that the Beijing authorities deliberately used the Sichuan-Xi meeting to promote "Taiwan independence" to the United States, endangering "peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait", "undermining U.S.-China strategic stability", and even distorting the history of World War II. The government predicts that in the future, the CCP will continue to use different opportunities with a number of collaborators to spread "theory of suspicion of the United States" and "theory of abandoning Taiwan," creating an atmosphere of "choosing between peace and war," or spreading the atmosphere of "a common narrative between the United States and China on World War II." It does not rule out the possibility of indirectly affecting Taiwan's upcoming local elections in November.
In the face of the CCP's increasing compound pressure on Taiwan in recent years, Shen Youzhong said that the government's position is to firmly maintain the status quo across the Taiwan Strait, continue to strengthen self-defense capabilities, deepen communication and cooperation with the United States and other allied countries, and jointly maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and the region. He also called on the Beijing authorities to abandon the hegemonic mentality of unilaterally changing the status quo by force, and to engage in dialogue and resolve differences with our democratically elected government without presupposing positions on the premise of reciprocity and dignity. This is also the common expectation of the international community.
