The US relationship with China faces a test as Taiwan elects a new leader
The United States is set to face a significant test in its relationship with China after Taiwanese voters select a new president. The peace and stability of the Taiwan Straits is at risk, and any potential conflict could lead to a face-off between Washington and Beijing, with global economic implications. Washington has voiced its commitment to working with both Taipei and Beijing to prevent any escalation in tensions, regardless of the election outcome. However, Beijing has suggested that the election could be a choice between peace and war, as it fears the front-runner’s victory could lead towards Taiwan’s independence. The U.S. plans to send an unofficial delegation to Taiwan after the election to maintain diplomatic ties.
