[Reporter Lu Yixuan/Taipei Report] The United States is actively assisting Taiwan in building its defense capabilities, but Taiwanese society still has "suspicion against the United States" from time to time.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out today that this is China's consistent method of cognitive warfare, fueled by local people with good intentions, with the purpose of eroding the confidence of the Taiwanese people and damaging Taiwan-US relations.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that Taiwan and the United States have continued to enhance their partnership based on shared values ​​and common interests. In recent years, economic and trade, security, education, and culture have flourished. Taiwan-US relations are in the most intense period in history.

"Suspicion of the United States" has been fermenting for days, and the US arms sales to Taiwan have also been misinterpreted as "landmine islands".

Xiao Guangwei, deputy spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a regular meeting today that he has recently noticed the reappearance of whispers of suspicion and anti-Americanism. This is a consistent method of China's cognitive warfare. , out of context, waiting for the opportunity to insert needles, erode the confidence of the Taiwanese people, and damage Taiwan-US relations.

Xiao Guangwei emphasized that in fact, Taiwan-US relations have been developing positively recently. Not only have the top executives demonstrated their support for the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait and their firm commitment to Taiwan, but the US Congress has also presented the largest number of bills in history, the strongest legislative content, and an endless stream of visit to show support for Taiwan.

From federal to local, from security economy and trade to education and culture, Taiwan-US cooperation at all levels is booming. Taiwan-US relations can be said to be in the most intense period in history. I believe it is obvious to all.

Xiao Guangwei detailed, in terms of security, strengthening Taiwan-US relations is a cross-party consensus in the United States. Successive US governments have strictly abided by the "Taiwan Relations Act" and the six guarantees, and implemented relevant commitments to Taiwan.

Since the Biden administration took office, it has repeatedly emphasized its rock-solid commitment to Taiwan's security; last year, it announced arms sales to Taiwan eight times, implementing the normalization of arms sales. Demonstrate the common stance of the international community on maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

In terms of economy, trade and education, Xiao Guangwei added that in addition to supporting my country's role in international participation, the United States has also deepened exchanges and cooperation with Japan and Australia in professional fields with Taiwan under the "Global Cooperation and Training Framework" (GCTF).

Recently, through the "Economic Prosperity Partnership Dialogue" (EPPD), educational initiatives, humanitarian aid cooperation MOU, etc., we have continued to expand partnerships. The just-held new round of negotiations on the Taiwan-US 21st Century Trade Initiative shows that both sides have a high degree of consensus on deepening economic and trade ties. determination.

Xiao Guangwei reiterated that Taiwan and the United States continue to enhance their global partnership based on shared values ​​of democracy and freedom and common interests.
