Retired U.S. officials met with Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen on Monday and praised the island’s democratic process that produced a new president-elect and legislature over the weekend in defiance of China’s claim of sovereignty over Taiwan and threat to annex it by military force.

“Taiwan’s democracy has set a shining example for the world, a democratic success story based on transparency, the rule of law and respect for human rights and freedoms,” former national security advisor Stephen Hadley said.

America’s commitment to Taiwan is “rock solid,” he said.

Is unofficial and retired politicians whatever they said matter and carried any weight?

This is what US position on Taiwan:

The United States switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979 and has long said it does not support a formal declaration of independence by Taiwan. It does, however, maintain unofficial relations with the self-governed island and remains its most important backer and arms supplier.

Ma ying jeou of kmt says it well, he says in any war with China, Taiwan cannot win.....duterte of Philippines says the same thing. Taiwan Philippines is too small, China too big. Got a few politicians who speaks the obvious. So war is not an option. Peace is the only option.

Mahathir of Malaysia says the same thing. If China wants to invade, Malaysia will just have to let them walk in. Little sense in a war with China

"avoidance of unilateral efforts to change the status quo.”
Is USA, DPP or China intend to unilateral change the status quo?

The Status Quo
US: One China policy
China: One China Principle and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China

The DPP does not acknowledge the One China principle, which sees Taiwan as part of greater China

Posted by Sslee > 2024-01-16 08:50 | Report Abuse

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos yesterday extended his congratulations to Lai Ching-te, the winner of Taiwan’s presidential election, saying that he was looking forward to “close collaboration.”

“On behalf of the Filipino people, I congratulate President-elect Lai Ching-te on his election as Taiwan’s next president,” Marcos wrote yesterday on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). “We look forward to close collaboration, strengthening mutual interests, fostering peace and ensuring prosperity for our peoples in the years ahead.”

This shift is partly due both to geographic proximity – Taiwan is the Philippines’ closest neighbor – and to the fact that the Philippines’ status as a U.S. security ally has de facto embroiled it in the growing U.S.-China tensions over Taiwan. For these reasons, Macros stated in a recent interview, “it’s very hard to imagine a scenario where the Philippines will not somehow get involved” in a conflict over Taiwan.

Taiwan is not alone.

Jakarta. Indonesia is sticking to the “One China Policy” as Taiwan elected Lai Ching-Te its president in Saturday's election.

Lai Ching-te, the ruling Democratic Progressive Party or DPP’s presidential pick, secured over 40 percent of the popular votes in the election. The DPP does not acknowledge the One China principle, which sees Taiwan as part of greater China. Indonesia has been maintaining a strict “One China Policy”. And this position remains unchanged despite the election, according to Lalu Muhammad Iqbal, the spokesman of the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

“Indonesia is closely observing the developments in Taiwan. Indonesia will consistently adhere to the One China Policy,” Lalu said via text on Sunday, commenting on the Taiwanese election.

Indonesia last year said it would continue to recognize the One China principle when President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo met with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing. According to the joint statement, Indonesia recognizes Taiwan as an inalienable part of China. Jakarta also acknowledges the People’s Republic of China as the sole legal government representing the whole of China.

The Biden administration will dispatch an unofficial delegation – including former senior officials – to Taipei following the election in keeping with past practice, according to senior officials.
