Biden Cuts U.S. Ties With Taiwan?

President Biden delivered a succinct message to Taiwan following the election of its new president on Saturday. Speaking on the South Lawn, Biden emphasized, “We do not support independence.” In the recent election, Taiwanese voters chose Vice President Lai Ching-te, also known as William, securing the Democratic Progressive Party’s continued rule for a third consecutive term.

The election outcome holds significant implications for Taiwan’s relationship with China over the next four years. China asserts control over the waterway separating the two nations and claims sovereignty over the self-governed island, despite its autonomous status for nearly 75 years. China had previously cautioned that the election held the potential to determine the path between war and peace.

Biden’s position aligns with the One China policy, acknowledging Beijing’s historical claim that Taiwan is an integral part of the mainland. The United States maintains informal relations with Taipei. Following a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in November, Biden reiterated that China should refrain from interfering in Taiwan’s elections, affirming the commitment to the One China agreement without plans for alteration.

In response to Taiwan’s election, the U.S. announced the dispatch of an unofficial delegation to the island, featuring former high-ranking U.S. officials. This practice, according to a senior Biden administration official, follows a longstanding tradition given the unofficial nature of the relationship with Taiwan. China’s reaction to the new delegation and Lai’s victory remains uncertain, but the country has previously emphasized its unwavering stance on Taiwan.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken extended congratulations to President Lai for his victory, commending the Taiwanese people for showcasing the strength of their democratic system. Lai, expressing openness to dialogue with China, conveyed gratitude to voters and pledged to maintain peace in the Taiwan Strait while contributing positively to the international community.
