US President Donald Trump made no changes to Washington's long-standing policy toward Taiwan during his recently concluded visit to China. The move brought reassurance to America's regional partners amid rising cross-strait tensions.
US policy toward Taiwan has remained stable across multiple administrations, including adherence to the "One China" policy and maintaining unofficial relations with Taiwan based on the Taiwan Relations Act. Trump's decision not to shift this stance during his visit is seen as a positive signal for Asian allies and partners concerned about regional stability.
Analysts say maintaining the current policy helps reduce tensions and lays the groundwork for regional cooperation, while avoiding erosion of trust among countries in the region where security and trade depend heavily on the stability of US-China relations.
