The U.S. has maintained a policy of &#8220;strategic ambiguity towards&#8221; Taiwan for decades, refusing to state whether or not it would intervene militarily if China attacked Taiwan. At the same time, the U.S. has sold more than $50 billion worth of arms to Taiwan for its national defense, allowing it to build asymmetric capabilities against China.<\/p>\n<p>Late last year the U.S. approved a record $11 billion arms sale to Taiwan, which angered the Chinese. However, an even larger package worth $14 billion package is on Mr. Trump&#8217;s desk awaiting approval. Mr. Trump said he would discuss that package with Xi, a concession no other U.S. president has ever made and a violation of former president Ronald Reagan&#8217;s 1982 commitments to Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump&#8217;s comments have raised the temperature in Taipei, with officials concerned that Mr. Trump could potentially sell Taiwan out to Xi. China wants Mr. Trump to change the U.S. government&#8217;s official language on Taiwan from saying that it &#8220;does not support&#8221; the island&#8217;s independence to saying that America &#8220;opposes&#8221; Taiwanese independence. While it may sound like a semantic issue, the tweaking of the diplomatic language could be consequential for Taiwan&#8217;s inhabitants.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan&#8217;s deputy foreign minister Chen Ming-chi told CBS News in a wide-ranging interview that he is not worried about the U.S. abandoning Taiwan, calling the country a &#8220;dependable ally&#8221; and pointing out that there are mutual benefits from the U.S.-Taiwanese partnership. Taiwan plays a key role in geopolitics and the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/us-taiwan-deal-tariffs-boosting-financing-us-semiconductor\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">global supply chain<\/a><\/span>. The territory produces 90% of the world&#8217;s high-end semiconductors used for AI and defense technology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The U.S. can count on us as much as we can count on the U.S.,&#8221; Chen said. &#8220;Do we believe in the U.S. commitment? Yes. They are our reliable partner. Probably the most reliable partner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Xi has said that reunification of Taiwan with mainland China is &#8220;unstoppable.&#8221; China has proposed &#8220;one party, two systems&#8221; for Taiwan, the same model it uses in <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/hong-kong-jimmy-lai-sentenced-20-years-prison-family-says-will-die-a-martyr\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Hong Kong<\/a><\/span> and Macau. Xi has also not ruled out <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/china-military-activities-near-taiwan-unnecessarily-raise-tensions-us-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">taking the island territory by force<\/a><\/span>. However, Xi may not have to take such extreme measures if China is able to get long-sought after concessions from the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Chen noted that China <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/china-taiwan-live-fire-military-drills-rapid-response-exercise\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">has become aggressive<\/a><\/span> in the South China Sea and East China Sea, highlighting the country&#8217;s escalating military buildup and daily military exercises. Xi previously to his military to be prepared to take action in Taiwan in 2027, but a March U.S. intelligence report on global threats found that China would now not invade in the next year. Institute For National Defence and Security Research military analyst Dr. Liang-Chih Evans Chen said that <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/china-xi-jinping-political-loyalty-anti-corruption-probe\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">recent wide-scale purges of China&#8217;s military command<\/a><\/span> likely put Xi behind schedule.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We won&#8217;t face the problem of the situation now, but we might face the problem in a few years,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I believe the threat remains.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chen, the deputy foreign minister, said that an overwhelming percentage of the Taiwanese population would never accept reunification. He said the public wants peace and stability.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since democratization we have enjoyed the freedom of speech, of democracy, a diversified society,&#8221; Chen said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been through an authoritarian past. We see democracy is something we achieved. Taiwanese people cherish that very much. Se we will never accept the one country, two systems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chen said that the Chinese Communist Party&#8217;s brutal crackdown on mass democracy protests in Hong Kong in 2019 showed the group&#8217;s true colors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What happened in Hong Kong was not particularly convincing to Taiwanese people,&#8221; Chen said. &#8220;Those people who want to speak up got brutally repressed. The (Chinese) Communist Party is not going to allow freedom of speech, human rights and societal diversity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The people of Taiwan have not lived one single day under Chinese Communist Party rule,&#8221; Chen added. &#8220;How come we are part of them?&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\"
