“The January 9, 2021 @StateDept announcement that the US will lift all self-imposed restrictions on the #US-#Taiwan relationship marks an especially significant and positive #international development. For decades, #US policy toward #Taiwan has been constrained by our own restrictions. The US #government lifted all restrictions, realigning US #policy with reality, and setting the stage for a new era of #USTaiwan relations. This development is long overdue. As @Transition46 [Biden-Harris administration] assumes office, they will inherit a posture in #USTaiwan relations removed of unhelpful limitations and difficult political decisions. The #BidenAdministration will be empowered to chart a new course in #US #policy with tremendous possibilities. We encourage the incoming #BidenAdministration to build upon this important moment to support a more peaceful and prosperous #IndoPacific.”

“I think bipartisan support on Capitol Hill is still very strong, and I think that kind of support for a Taiwan-US BTA [Bilateral Trade Agreement] will continue into the new administration.”

“Regarding the US presidential election that just ended, the position of the KMT is very straightforward. That is, support the further deepening of cooperation between Taiwan and the US, and firmly adhere to a 'pro-US and friendly to mainland [China]' path.”

“Although there might be some changes in Biden’s tactics toward China, there will be no change in the China strategy. It is likely that China will broaden its tactics and step up its propaganda campaign to pressure Taiwan's businesses and different sectors in society to accept its 'one China' political framework and heighten Chinese military actions to pressure us into ‘peace talks’ as part of its 'united front' strategy. China has made an effort to block US involvement in the region, to undermine Taiwan-US cooperation. Some adjustments could come in US-China relations after the election outcome, but Beijing has its fixed agenda for dealing with Taiwan, therefore we must still tread carefully in the coming years. China insists on the option of a military invasion of Taiwan, and [using] provocation and encroachment tactics to undermine cross-strait stability.”

“No matter which political party takes charge of the US government, overall it will keep its policy to contain China, while being friendly with Taiwan. However, Taiwan must rely on itself... We cannot depend on other countries. When a country has a transfer of power, some policies will continue, and some policies will be adjusted. We have no influence over the course and timetable of their government changeover process.”

“No matter if it’s Biden or Trump, the American government is our ally and we have quite a good friendship with both parties. We don’t rely our national diplomatic relationship on only one person. It’s not responsible to our people. Trump and Biden’s personality and character are quite different, but [as for] the Trump Administration and the Biden administration, I don’t think there are so many differences between them. They have deep differences in domestic issues but for foreign issues, diplomatic issues, and national security issues, I think basically they are the same.”

“The US-Taiwan relationship will likely remain strong primarily because Washington’s interests converge with Taipei’s interests. There are shared values as well as concerns about growing Chinese power and the way it is being used. US efforts to strengthen ties with Taiwan may be less public and less visible than under the Trump administration, but they will persist.”

“I can't imagine a President Biden being bad for Taiwan. But I also can't imagine Biden being as strong on Taiwan as President Trump has been, as the Trump administration has, for example, lobbied other governments not to recognize Beijing in favor of Taipei, treated President Tsai as an effective head of state on her U.S. visits and sold Taiwan more weapons than ever thought attainable. Under Biden we might see U.S.-Taiwan relations go from great to good. But still good.”

“No matter which candidate ends up in the White House, the US and China will continue to compete on trade, technology and military capabilities... Taiwan has to carefully and closely observe changes in US-China-Taiwan relations to find the most appropriate approach going forward.”
