[Reporter Lu Yixuan/Taipei Report] Former legislator Cai Zhengyuan has recently quoted tweets from American Internet sources on his personal Facebook and Zhongtian TV, saying that the White House has a plan to "destroy Taiwan".

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs solemnly clarified today that the source of the news has not been verified at all and is absolutely not true.

The United States has a firm commitment to Taiwan and supports peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reminds Chinese people to pay attention to the intentional domestic people who deliberately amplify suspicious and anti-American theories and spread false information, echoing China's cognitive war against Taiwan.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that for many years, strengthening Taiwan-US relations has been a cross-party consensus in the United States. Successive US governments have abided by the "Taiwan Relations Act" and the "Six Guarantees" to implement relevant commitments to Taiwan.

Since taking office, the Biden administration has repeatedly emphasized that its commitment to Taiwan's security is "rock-solid." Not only has it announced arms sales to Taiwan eight times, it has implemented the normalization of arms sales. Neighboring countries issued statements to demonstrate the common stance of the international community on maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also mentioned that based on common interests and values, Taiwan and the United States continue to expand the fields of multi-level cooperation and comprehensively enhance the partnership.

In addition to playing a leading role in supporting my country's international participation, the United States has also deepened cooperation and exchanges with my country and Japan, Australia and other partners in the professional fields of countries around the world under the "Global Cooperation and Training Framework" (GCTF). Various mechanisms such as the Taiwan-US 21st Century Trade Initiative, the Taiwan-US Economic Prosperity Partnership Dialogue (EPPD), the "Taiwan-US Education Initiative" and the "Taiwan-US Memorandum of Understanding on Development and Humanitarian Assistance Cooperation" have expanded partnerships in various fields.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs bluntly stated that the "Taiwan-US High-level Dialogue on Educational Initiatives" to be held today (22) is a clear proof that the two sides have shown a positive willingness to continue to strengthen cooperation.

The staunch partnership between Taiwan and the United States has become increasingly close because of our mutual interests in regional peace, stability, and prosperity, as well as our firm belief in shared values ​​such as democracy and human rights.

Looking ahead, the Taiwan-US partnership, which is based on a solid foundation and strong momentum, will continue to improve.
