[D]rawing Taiwan into the U.S.-led system of regional alliances will dwarf the Chinese mainland’s successes.
The role Taiwan plays and the pressure it is under seems to be growing daily.
[T]he U.S. and Taiwan are inextricably linked in terms of national security, economic cooperation and semiconductor trade.
[T]he Taiwan issue is the most important and sensitive issue in Chinese-U.S. relations.
