Taiwan Says US Policy to Remain Unchanged

Taiwan’s representative to the United States, Ambassador Alexander Yui, clarifies that U.S. policy toward Taiwan remains unchanged despite Beijing's attempts to manipulate diplomatic narratives. The conversation highlights the critical role of the Taiwan Relations Act and the six assurances in maintaining regional stability. Taiwan is actively bolstering its defense capabilities, with military spending projected to reach 5% of GDP by 2030, while simultaneously pivoting its economic focus. Notably, Taiwanese foreign direct investment in China has declined to 1% as companies increasingly prioritize investments in the United States, including major semiconductor manufacturing projects. Despite persistent "grey zone" tactics and infiltration efforts by the PRC, Taiwan maintains strong, bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress. This pragmatic approach to trade and security underscores Taiwan’s commitment to resilience and its ongoing role as a vital partner in global technology and manufacturing.
