Taiwan’s response to recent phone call between leaders of US and China
Taiwan’s response to recent phone call between leaders of US and China
2025-11-25
It was reported that the leaders of the US and China had a phone call on Monday. Chinese state media, Xinhua News Agency claimed that Xi Jinping had said to Donald Trump, “Taiwan’s return to China is an integral part of the post-war international order.” However, no mention of Taiwan was made in the US president’s summary of the call. On Tuesday, Trump made another phone call, this time to Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae. Viewed from Taiwan, the recent events indicated that US policy in the Indo-Pacific remains largely unchanged, but Taiwan must bolster its self-defense capabilities nonetheless.
The leaders of the US and China were known to be in contact once again, following their meeting on the sidelines of APEC at the end of October. Chinese state media stated that Xi Jinping raised the issue of Taiwan over the phone.
According to Xinhua News Agency, Xi had said that “Taiwan’s return to China is an integral part of the post-war international order.” However, US President Donald Trump’s summary on Truth Social said they’d touched upon many topics, including Ukraine and Russia, agricultural exports, and mutual invitations of state visit. He wrote nothing about Taiwan.
Reports of the phone call caught the attention of Taiwan and Japan. The next day, Trump called Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae.
Takaichi Sanae
Prime Minister of Japan
President Trump elaborated on US-China relations to me, including the phone call he had with the Chinese leader. He had just visited Japan, and I believe this phone call re-emphasized the close cooperation between the US and Japan.
Takaichi also said that Trump had told her the two of them are good friends, and she could call him anytime. Meanwhile, the Presidential Office also responded to the reports by saying that Taiwan sees any effort to safeguard regional security positively, and that the country will continue to stay in close contact with the US on this matter. The premier also commented on China’s statement on Taiwan in the phone call.
Cho Jung-tai
Premier
The Republic of China, Taiwan, is a fully sovereign and independent country. The 23 million people of Taiwan do not have a “reunification” option. Maintaining the status quo is something the world is collectively focused on.
Cho also emphasized that “Taiwan is the world’s Taiwan.” Meanwhile, a scholar says US policy on the Indo-Pacific region remains largely unchanged.

Trump had said to Takaichi that she could call him anytime. From that alone, it’s clear that the cooperation between Washington DC and Tokyo remains the same. Trump’s phone call with Xi did not affect US policy on Japan.
Although the recent interaction between the US, China and Japan did not appear to substantively affect the status quo, the scholar said Taiwan’s priority remains the same, that is to maintain its self-defense capabilities.

與習近平熱線後"川普致電日相高市" 卓揆:台灣主權獨立
2025-11-25
中國官方媒體新華社報導，習近平在通話中對川普重申"台灣回歸中國是戰後秩序重要一部分"，但川普的發文說"聊俄烏、農產、邀訪"，卻未見台灣的字眼。25號川普也致電日相高市早苗，傳達美中關係，並就日美同盟交換意見。
10月底APEC川習會後，美中兩國元首再熱線，中國官媒更宣稱"有談到台灣"。
新華社報導，習近平對川普闡述"台灣回歸中國，是戰後國際秩序重要的一部分"，但川普在Truth Social說，兩人聊很多，有俄烏、農產品出口、邀約互訪，卻隻字未提台灣。
這通電話引起台日關注，川普隔一天立刻致電日相高市早苗。
[[日本首相 高市早苗]]
“總統川普跟我闡述了美中關係，包括他昨晚和中國領導人的通話，(川普剛訪日)我認為這次通話，也重申了美日之間的密切合作。”
高市早苗透露川普對她說"兩人是摯友、隨時都能打給他"，我國總統府指出"樂見美方在區域安全的努力、台美會緊密聯繫"，確保區域的和平與穩定。
[[行政院長 卓榮泰]]
“中華民國台灣是一個完完全全的主權獨立的國家，2300萬的國人，沒有回歸的選項。維持現狀也是世界現在大家共同注意的一個發展。”
卓榮泰強調"台灣是世界的台灣"，學者分析，美國在印太區域的基調仍維持不變。
[[國防院戰略所所長 蘇紫雲]]
“(川普)請高市早苗隨時可以打電話給他，就可以知道，華盛頓跟東京的這個合作並沒有改變。川普跟習近平的電話，並沒有去影響到日本的這個政策。”
學者對這回"美中日"通話審慎樂觀，但也強調維持自身國防實力，才是盟友是否幫助我國的關鍵因素。
