The Hill, 2021-4-20:
Japan needs to stand
stronger with the US to defend Taiwan — and itself /
Given the current widespread concern
that the Taiwan flashpoint could
suddenly explode into a U.S.-China conflict in Japan’s backyard, is such
vacuous language
the strongest deterrent message the two allies could muster?

China Morning Post (Hong Kong), 2021-4-18:
Biden
administration might want to deepen its relations with Taipei, there is
no indication of a more fundamental shift and it is still trying not to
provoke Beijing when it comes to the sensitive issue of mobilising
troops to defend Taiwan.
Biden’s new guidelines
clarify that Washington will continue to honour its own one-China policy
and the new guidelines will not allow anything related to formats or
symbols of an ‘official’relationship with Taiwan,” . The State Department
says the guidelines still ban officials from attending Taiwan’s Double
10th holiday and events which assert Taiwanese sovereignty. Exchanges by
senior officials such as presidents, vice-presidents and high-ranking
government ministers are not covered by the guidelines.

Seattle Times, 2021-4-9:
The
department announced the changed policy in a statement that said the Biden administration intends to “liberalize” the rules to reflect the
“deepening unofficial relationship” between the U.S. and Taiwan.
However, the revised guidelines don’t include all the changes put in
place by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in the waning days of the
Trump administration.
Pompeo had lifted virtually all restrictions on contacts with Taiwan,
including allowing Taiwanese military officers to wear uniforms and
display the Taiwanese flag at meetings with U.S. officials.

Guardian, 2021-4-11:
A state department spokesman, Ned Price, said the new guidelines
followed a congressionally mandated review and
would “provide clarity …
on effective implementation of our ‘one China’ policy” –
a reference to the longstanding
US policy under which Washington officially recognizes
Beijing rather than Taipei. ◆
CNBC, 2021-4-9:
The U.S. State Department on Friday issued new guidelines that will
enable U.S. officials to meet more freely with officials from Taiwan.

Global Times, 2021-4-10:
new guidelines
has taken a step back from what Pompeo claimed...A report on the
Financial Times...there
would still be some "guard rails," such as not allowing officials to attend
functions at Twin Oaks on major Taiwanese holidays that might complicate
the US' "One-China" policy. The
new guidelines are to test how the Chinese mainland will react, but
there will not be a qualitative change to the relations between the US
and the island of Taiwan.
