The president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, will be sworn in on the 20th local time. The representative office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the United States has so far “not received an invitation letter” and once claimed to be “ambassadors to the United States.” Was the Taiwanese representative to the United States Xiao Meiqin unable to attend the inauguration? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond positively to this, only saying that it would express congratulations in the most appropriate way. However, some Chinese media asserted that “Biden’s team is alienated from Taiwan” and that “this is not only an embarrassment for Taiwan, but a heavy blow.”
The Chinese media “China News Agency” commented on the 20th that the White House was replaced and the “anti-China and pro-Taiwan” Trump stepped down. In the past, the relationship between Taiwan’s Cai and Trump administrations has been severely challenged, and U.S.-Taiwan relations are facing major tests; In particular, from the recent policy propositions of the Biden team to specific actions, there are obvious signs of alienating Taiwan, and US-Taiwan relations are bound to adjust or pave the way for future changes.
The comment mentioned that the inauguration ceremony was about to take place, but Xiao Meiqin could not wait for the invitation letter until yesterday (19), according to one of Biden’s staff and Harvard University political science professor Graham T. Allison claimed recently. Biden’s perception of “one China” is beyond doubt that “there is only one China in the world, and the capital of China is Beijing”, and he bluntly said: “Taiwan, an “independent country” does not exist, and the United States will not recognize it. “Taiwan independence.” It can be seen that Trump has stepped down, and Biden’s new administration’s policy toward Taiwan is beginning.
The comment emphasized that this is not only an embarrassment to Taiwan, but also a heavy blow, because it means that the Biden team is alienating Taiwan. The set that Taiwan used to play with the Trump administration no longer works. The so-called “relying on the United States against China” is even more important. Will become the past. At the same time, the White House National Security Council’s Coordinator for the Indo-Pacific Coordinator (Kurt Campbell), nominated by Biden, recently suggested that both China and the United States take a step back to ease the current tit-for-tat tension. The remarks are obviously “important signals,” which express the goodwill of the United States to re-establish relations with China.
Relations between Taiwan and the United States progressed rapidly last year. Senior US officials visited Taiwan one after another. Soon after the US Secretary of Health Alex Azar came to Taiwan, President Tsai Ing-wen announced the opening of ractopamine-containing American cattle and pigs. This caused an uproar and doubts from all circles. “What can Taiwan get?” After Biden won the election, the turmoil continued to spread. Under the leadership of the DPP government, American pigs containing ractopamine were officially opened for import on the 1st of this year.
After the news that Xiao Meiqin “cannot wait for the invitation letter” was exposed, it caused heated discussions on the Internet. Netizens left messages saying: “Did we have a fake? How come we didn’t even give an invitation letter?” The relationship between Taiwan and the United States is the best”, “Biden knows who is betting on Taiwan, don’t deceive yourself anymore”, “Lai Zhu can’t even exchange invitation letters, pitiful”, “Eat Lai Zhu is sad”, “The result of downsizing I’ll squeeze you out first, isn’t it a good friend?
On September 20 last year, Xiao Meiqin changed her profile to “Taiwan’s Ambassador to the United States” on her personal Twitter account, which attracted attention and discussion from the outside world, and even attracted speculation about whether the United States and Taiwan were ready to establish diplomatic relations. Afterwards, she explained: “I disappointed the supporters. The Taiwanese ambassador described her work as herself, and many people called her that way.” Xiao Meiqin has not yet explained whether she has received the invitation letter. She posted on Twitter today. Po United States’ former deputy national security adviser, Ely Ratner, said in a post: “In a democratic country, differences must be respected, but with the support of the two parties, policies are always stronger and more sustainable. Therefore, Taiwan has always been in line with it. The spirit of bipartisan cooperation cooperates with American friends.”
