Scholars: Meiru Chujiao Beijing will increase the suppression of Taiwan

American scholars jointly published an article in The National Interest magazine that when Beijing continues to suppress Taiwan, if the United States rashs rashly, it may bring more movements in Beijing.Washington should not sacrifice Taiwan to soothe Beijing or use Taiwan as a trading product against China.

Eric Heginbotham, a scholar of the International Research Center of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Rajan Menon, the University of New York University and Columbia University, pointed out that Beijing's pressure on Taiwan has not threatened the existence of the Republic of China.The size of the country that has shifted and breaking off with Taiwan is not large, which has no influence on Taiwan's economy, let alone national security.Beijing does have other ways to squeeze Taiwan, and some measures can even damage Taiwan's economic development.

However, the article does not recommend that the United States has a heavy hand, thinking that this will only attract more moves in Beijing.Disputes of the Taiwan Straits are unlikely to be resolved in the short term, and they should be handled with caution, especially when the differences between Huafu and Beijing deepen.The wise strategy of the United States is not to use Taiwan as a tool to combat Beijing, and do not regard Taiwan as a trading product that appeases Chinese leaders.

The article pointed out that for a long time, the United States has maintained a policy of China, and the peace and stability of the sea are stable as long -term interests, and continued to urge cross -strait self -control to maintain the status quo.However, as the situation continues to change, the United States should strengthen and regularly reiterate their promises to strengthen Taiwan's self -defense capabilities. It should also avoid measures to formally recognize Taiwan, while avoiding excessive reactions on cross -strait tit -ups.

The article pointed out that since the election of US President Trump, Washington has adjusted the policy on Taiwan, and the heavyweights of Congress have also actively seek transformation.Economic prosperity and vibrant democracy have made Taiwan awareness increasingly enhanced.The increase in China's economic and military strength has made Beijing leaders more confident, and the United States and China are strategic competitors and explode trade wars, which have made the Taiwan Strait more challenging in the past.
