Lai responds to phonecall between Xi and Trump

On Wednesday evening, the leaders of the US and China spoke on a phone call in which Taiwan was a key focus. Xi Jinping told Donald Trump to be “prudent” when it comes to supplying arms to Taiwan. Trump responded that he valued China’s concerns on the Taiwan issue, adding that he would maintain stable US-China relations during his term. On Friday, Taiwan President Lai Ching-te responded to the call between the two countries, reiterating that the ties between Taiwan and the US are rock solid. Let’s hear more from the president.
Lai Ching-te
President
We have good channels of communication between Taiwan and the US. This conversation between China and the US maintains four constants in the trilateral Taiwan-US-China relations. The first is that the ROC and the PRC are not subordinate to each other. The second is that the US’ commitments to Taiwan remain unchanged as stated in the Taiwan Relations Act and the Six Assurances. The third is that the US’ approach to maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region alongside its allies and partners based on its national security and defense strategies and alliances remains unchanged. The fourth is that Taiwan-US relations are rock solid.
President Lai also responded to recent comments by KMT Chair Cheng Li-wun after a series of exchanges between the KMT and the CCP. Cheng said that mainland China was family to Taiwan, and voiced support for the so-called “1992 Consensus,” which she says is not that scary. The original core idea in the “1992 Consensus” between the then-ruling KMT and China is that the two sides belonged to one China, with differing interpretations on what China means. But according to Lai, the consensus has now been taken by Xi Jinping to be an assertion of the CCP’s sovereignty over Taiwan. Lai says that supporters of the consensus must therefore consider themselves Chinese and are pushing for cross-strait unification.
