According to Taiwan's China Times News Network, US President Trump lost the election in this U.S. election, but he was dissatisfied with the election results, believed that the voting process was flawed and was preparing to fight a legal battle. In response, Wang Zhisheng, Secretary-General of the China Asia-Pacific Elite Exchange Association, expressed concern that before Trump’s handover with Biden and on January 20 next year, it may be the most dangerous moment in the Taiwan Strait. He believes that conflicts in the Taiwan Strait may be caused due to two major factors.
Wang Zhisheng recently accepted an exclusive interview with China Review News Agency. He said, "Before Biden took office on January 20, cross-strait relations were relatively dangerous, and the risks were higher than after Biden took office." The reason is that, first, during the period before Trump stepped down, it is not ruled out that there will be a "last crazy" move, introducing more specific restrictions on mainland China, leading to a systematic "decoupling" of Sino-US relations; or causing "actual downgrading of political relations between China and the United States." And continue to take measures on the issues of Taiwan and the South China Sea, so that the mainland must play cards.
Second, Wang Zhisheng believes that if Beijing takes into account its superior subordinates and brings the Asia-Pacific pattern back to a state that is beneficial to the mainland, it may create established facts through deterrence and other actions, affecting Biden's policies before coming, which is risky for cross-strait relations.
reporter asked again, "Does Trump really have any action? How likely?" Wang Zhisheng believes that if Trump evaluates that this move is in the interests of the United States, he may do it.
He also said that this period may be an opportunity for the DPP authorities to repair cross-strait relations, because the mainland will have an observation period when dealing with Sino-US relations. It can be expected that the "observation period" will give cross-strait relations a period of easing. During this period, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can accumulate more dialogue and goodwill. Perhaps at least the two sides will not lose control and will not be as high as the current period.
