Taiwan Independence Some from the US website

“We hope that the differences between the two margins of the narrow will be resolved by peaceful means, free of coercion, acceptable to the people on both sides.”

According to the Taiwan Central News Agency (CNA), the fact that the US previously said that the US opposed “any unilateral changes in the status quo by either party; We do not support Taiwan’s independence; And we hope that the differences between the two margins of the narrow will be resolved by peaceful means. ”

The State Department’s website also highlighted Taiwan’s technological cooperation with the US and said Washington supported Taiwan’s participation in international organizations “where applicable”. However, a reference prior to the sovereign state was removed.

Previously, according to CNA, the summary of facts said that Washington will “continue to support Taiwan’s participation in international organizations where the sovereign state is not a requirement and will encourage significant participation of Taiwan in organizations where his full adherence is not possible ”.

The old version of the summary of facts is no longer available on the site.

A reference to Taiwan’s independence was also removed from the State Department’s website in May 2022, only to be restored a month after Protests by Beijing.

In response to a request for comment on Sunday, the State Department said it was routine to update the summary of facts “to inform the general public about our non -official relationship with Taiwan.”

The department stated that the update did not mean an important change in US policy compared to Taiwan.

“The United States is still committed to its one China policy. US policy is guided by the Taiwan Relations Law, the three joint US-china communications and the six guarantees to Taiwan. The United States is committed to preserving peace and stability in Taiwan’s Strait, ”the department said.

The CNA cited the Foreign Ministry of AutoGovernade Island saying that the update reflected “the close and friendly partnership between Taiwan and the United States.”

The news agency first reported the change in words on Sunday.

Another change in Washington’s official line was evident last week after a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.

A joint statement about the meeting included a new reference to Taiwan, saying that they opposed any change in the status quo in the Taiwan Strait through the “or coercion” force.

This inclusion also provoked a protest of Beijing.

In addition, there seemed to be a disconnection between US and China’s statements about a telephone call in January between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his Chinese homologist Wang Yi. The Chinese statement said Rubio said Washington did not support Taiwan’s independence – a point that was not present in the US statement.

Taiwan was also on the agenda in Germany, where world leaders met for the Munich security conference to discuss geopolitical crises.

In a joint statement after a meeting on Saturday, Rubio, Japan Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwayaa and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-Yul, “expressed support for Taiwan’s significant participation in international organizations in international organizations appropriate ”.

A day earlier, Wang promised that Beijing would firmly respond to Washington’s “unilateral intimidation”, adding that the international community should support the Chinese continent with Taiwan.

However, he expressed confidence in the perspectives of US-China relations.

Beijing repeatedly emphasized that Taiwan is the most important and dangerous question in US-China relations and a “red line” that cannot be crossed.
