Kuten sanottu erittäin hyvä ja tärkeä veto Trumpilta. Kyseessähän enempi seremoniaalinen asia, mutta vie suhteita kohti normaalia Kiinan pakottamisen ja sanelun sijaan.
"US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs David Stilwell yesterday told the Financial Times that the decision was not rushed ahead of Biden’s inauguration, but was the result of a lengthy review of the Taiwan-US relationship.
“We have been trying to rectify the overall US-China relationship and this is one more step in that direction,” Stilwell said, urging the Biden administration to continue the policy direction.
“Best case, the Biden administration sees this as a blank slate, and starts an internal process to develop what the ideal US-Taiwan engagement structure and process looks like, consistent with the unofficial relationship, shared democratic values, and the benefits the bilateral relationship brings,” said Drew Thompson, a former US Department of Defense official responsible for Taiwan policy.
An official in Biden’s transition team on Saturday said that Biden believes US support for Taiwan must remain “strong, principled and bipartisan,” and that he would work to ensure that.
Biden would support “a peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues consistent with the wishes and best interests of the people of Taiwan,” the official said."
Biden varmaankin jatkaa siitä mihin Trumpin hallinto lopettaa. Imagokin kärsii jos alkaisi ensimmäiseksi tekemään myönnytyksiä Kiinalle.
