China Taiwan Network reported on May 30 that Taiwan’s foreign-related departments suddenly announced on the evening of the 30th that U.S. Senator Duckworth visited Taiwan from the same day to June 1. During his stay in Taiwan, he will meet with Tsai Ing-wen, Su Zhenchang, and Taiwan’s economic department head Wang Meihua and others to have an in-depth exchange of opinions on various important issues of “Taiwan-US relations”. Because Taiwan was excluded from the " Indo-Pacific Economic Framework " led by US President Biden , Duckworth's trip was specially arranged to meet Wang Meihua, which may be related to this.
Dakworth once visited Taiwan with two other senators on a US military plane in June 2021. Tsai Ing-wen also went to the airport to meet three people. At that time, the epidemic was repeated and vaccines were in short supply. Duckworth was on behalf of the US government to Taiwan to announce the so-called "donation of vaccines."
Dakworth is the so-called "friendly Taiwan" member of the US Senator. This is also the second time he has "spread to Taiwan" in a year. Taiwan's foreign-related departments said that Duckworth's visit again is the United States' support and commitment to Taiwan's so-called "rock-solid". Tsai Ing-wen's office said that Tsai Ing-wen and Duckworth met on the morning of the 31st, and the topics between the two sides were mainly so-called "regional security" and economic and trade cooperation.
It is worth mentioning that Taiwanese media said that Duckworth wrote a joint letter with 51 other senators in mid-May, pressing Biden to include Taiwan in the "Indo-Pacific Economic Framework."
html In April, the "visiting group" led by US Senator Graham went to Taiwan to "sell arms" and even promoted orders to his constituency state in front of Tsai Ing-wen.In the same month, US House Speaker Pelosi also released news of visiting Taiwan through Japanese media. After China warned many times and used the "four serious" strong responses to the "four serious" such as serious violation of the one-China principle of and , seriously damaging China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, seriously impacting the political foundation of Sino-US relations, and sending serious wrong signals to the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence", Pelosi suddenly announced that the new coronavirus was diagnosed, and the matter of "stopping in Taiwan" was left unresolved.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out on the 27th that the US verbally said that it did not support "Taiwan independence", but said one thing and did another, repeatedly violating the political commitments made to China, attempting to empty the one-China principle and encourage the arrogance of the "Taiwan independence" forces. This is to change the status quo and a serious threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. (Editor/Li Botao, Reviewed/Qi Xiaojing)
