(Washington Composite Television) The US Congress recently sent a delegation to visit Taiwan, and also proposed a number of legislation related to Taipei, showing that Congress members are frequently forced President Bayeng to test Beijing's red line.However, analysts believe that the inconsistency between the presidential position of the President not only increases the risk of misjudgment, but also may affect Sino -US relations.
In the past 10 years, at least 149 US senators and representatives visited Taiwan. Bayeng has 33 people in power so far. Among them, Perosi, the president of the House of Representatives who visited Taiwan a few days ago.
Sunday (August 14), the cross -party members led by the Asia -Pacific Group Chairman of the US Senate Foreign Affairs Committee to visit Taiwan for visit, making this year the busiest year since 2016.
In addition, US members have also proposed or adopted a number of legislation aimed at strengthening relations with Taipei, including Taiwan Policy Law.
This bill will formally acknowledge Taiwan as "the main non -NATO ally", but the Bayeng government has lobby the Congress to revise the bill, arguing that this will undermine the "one China" policy in the United States for a long time.
Analysts pointed out that Biden's position and the inconsistency of Congress may not only cause misjudgments, but also disrupt more extensive relations between the two major economies of China and the United States.
Honolulu Shandong Western Center Senior Researcher Roy said: "Having a negative view of China has become the mainstream of American society.Regardless of this, this may have a negative impact on other US interests. "
The next confrontation between Biden and Congress on China may be concentrated on the Taiwan policy bill.
If this bill is approved, the United States will provide Taiwan with a national defense assistance of $ 4.5 billion (about S $ 6.2 billion) in the next four years and establish a sanctions mechanism to punish Beijing any hostile action adopted to TaiwanEssenceThe bill also requires the US regular assessment of the risk of invasion in the mainland and assisted the Taiwan army to deal with such attacks.
Smith, an associate professor at the University of Sydney's American Research Center, said: "This does mean that if China invades Taiwan, the United States will respond directly."
