China announced that Director Wang Yi emphasized that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair and that the Taiwan election cannot change Taiwan as part of China's part during his talks with U.S. Affairs Assistant Jake Sullivan. Director Wang Yi called on the US side to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, put into action its commitment not to support China, and support China's peaceful reunification. Sullivan said that it is important to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. There is a clear difference between the positions of China and the United States on the Taiwan issue, with China pursuing peaceful reunification and the United States hoping to maintain peace with the status quo on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The authorities avoided talking about it.
Regarding the statement on Taiwan-related issues in the talks between Director Wang Yi and Sullivan, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an responded positively, saying that maintaining cross-strait peace and development is everyone's common expectation. Compared with other Kuomintang politicians, Chiang Wan-an's attitude towards the mainland was relatively relaxed, and he advocated the resumption of cross-strait communication and exchanges. Recently, Jiang Wanan invited Shanghai to visit Taipei to participate in the Lantern Festival, showing a positive statement. For the Kuomintang, in the face of the silence of the authorities, Jiang Wanan's response showed his potential and prospects in promoting ***.
According to Taiwan media reports, the Kuomintang is currently facing a serious problem of disconnection of young talents. For Jiang Wanan, who is popular with young people, he may run in the 2028 elections on the island. At the Thanksgiving Tea held by the Kuomintang, Hou Youyi publicly praised Jiang Wanan for his handsome appearance and good Chinese speaking, even more like a candidate than himself. If Jiang Wanan can work hard to reform the KMT during his four-year term and achieve results in municipal work, then in 2028, as a 50-year-old young politician, he has the opportunity to turn the situation around the KMT and calibrate the course of ***.
However, if the "red line" is violated during the period of the *** administration, resulting in the mainland being forced to launch "military reunification", then the opportunity for Jiang Wanan will not exist. No matter who is in power, it will not be able to affect the process of reunification of the mainland. We have pinned hopes on Jiang Wanan to promote peaceful reunification, but we have no expectations for unrealistic fantasies.
The Taiwan issue has always been a sensitive and complex issue in Sino-US relations. Recently, in his talks with US Assistant for Affairs Jake Sullivan, Wang Yi, China's leading director, once again emphasized that Taiwan is a part of China and demanded that the US side abide by its commitments and support China's peaceful reunification. Jiang Wanan's positive response to the meeting also sparked speculation and expectations about his future political development.
During the talks, Director Wang Yi stressed that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, and the election in the Taiwan region cannot change the basic fact that Taiwan is a part of China. He urged the US side to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, and put into action its commitment not to support China. In contrast, Sulli** stressed the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. The meeting once again highlighted the differences between the positions of China and the United States on the Taiwan issue, with China pursuing peaceful reunification and the United States preferring to maintain peace under the status quo.
In contrast to the attitude of the authorities to avoid talking about it, Taipei Mayor Jiang Wanan made a positive response to Director Wang Yi's statement during the talks. Jiang Wanan said that maintaining cross-strait peace and development is the common expectation of everyone. Compared with other Kuomintang politicians, Chiang Wan-an had a more conciliatory attitude toward the mainland and advocated the resumption of cross-strait communication and exchanges. He invited Shanghai to participate in this year's lantern festival, showing a positive attitude. Such a response shows Jiang Wanan's potential and prospects in promoting ***.
According to Taiwan media reports, Jiang Wanan is popular with young people on the island, so he is expected to run in the 2028 election on the island. At present, the Kuomintang is facing the problem of young talent disconnection, and Jiang Wanan, as a politician favored by young people, has brought hope for the future of the Kuomintang. At the Thanksgiving Tea Party held by the Kuomintang, Hou Youyi's public praise also confirmed his political potential. If Jiang Wanan can actively reform the KMT in the next four years and achieve results in municipal work, then he will have a chance to turn the tide for the KMT in the 2028 election and recalibrate the course of ***.
However, Jiang Wanan's future development also faces some challenges. If *** violates the "red line" during his time in power, causing the mainland to be forced to launch "military reunification", the opportunity for Jiang Wanan will not exist. No matter who is in power, it will not be able to change the process of reunification of the mainland. We have pinned hopes on Jiang Wanan to promote peaceful reunification, but we do not harbor unrealistic illusions. Only through real reform and efforts can we make a positive contribution to the development of the world.
Studying the Taiwan issue requires us to pay attention to the interaction between international relations, geopolitics, and public opinion on both sides of the strait. The statements of Director Wang Yi and Jiang Wanan have triggered people's thinking about the future development of the world. China's consistent stand on the Taiwan issue is unshakable. And Jiang Wanan's positive response shows his potential and prospects in promoting ***. However, the development of the cross-strait issue still faces many challenges, and all parties need to make joint efforts to find solutions. Only through peaceful and stable exchanges and dialogues can we promote the healthy development of the country. We have expectations for Jiang Wanan's political future, but we also need to maintain a realistic view and not harbor unrealistic illusions.
