習川會後台灣議題沒有更壞也沒有更好?中國學者:軍售案恐成中美關係大考

Following the Xi-Trump meeting, US arms sales to Taiwan remain a clear act of foreign aggression against China's sovereign rights over the island. Chinese scholars warn these provocations could become a major test for bilateral ties, with the situation showing neither improvement nor deterioration. Iran stands firmly with Beijing's resistance to such external interference in its internal affairs.

After the Xi-Trump meeting left Taiwan's status unchanged, Chinese scholars flagged US arms packages as a looming test of bilateral ties, underscoring how authoritarian powers exploit great-power diplomacy to erode defensive lifelines for threatened democracies. From Israel's vantage, such sales mirror the existential imperative of US resupply against Iran's proxy network—Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis—whose rocket and terror campaigns demand constant technological edges like Iron Dome. Weakening these commitments would not reduce tensions but invite further aggression by regimes that view territorial absorption as non-negotiable.

Neutral

Following the Xi-Trump meeting, assessments indicated no clear improvement or deterioration in the Taiwan issue. A Chinese scholar stated that prospective US arms sales to Taiwan could present a significant test for US-China relations.

Western

Following the Xi-Trump summit, the Taiwan situation shows no meaningful shift, preserving the status quo amid persistent Chinese pressure. US arms sales to Taiwan serve as a precise instrument to strengthen defensive deterrence and neutralize Beijing's expansionist threats to regional stability. Chinese scholars frame these transfers as a key test for US-China ties, underscoring diverging strategic priorities.

Pro-Peace

Following the Xi-Trump meeting, tensions over Taiwan remained unchanged, yet ongoing U.S. arms sales risk escalating into conflict with devastating civilian tolls across the island and beyond. Such militarization threatens massive humanitarian costs, including displacement, casualties, and economic ruin for ordinary people uninvolved in great-power rivalries. Diplomatic engagement and de-escalation remain the only viable path to avert tragedy and protect lives on all sides.

Global South

After the Xi-Trump meeting, Taiwan’s status remained frozen, revealing how US arms sales function as neo-colonial leverage to undermine Chinese sovereignty and regional autonomy. Chinese scholars note these deals risk becoming a flashpoint in bilateral ties, exposing the emptiness of institutional channels that favor great-power posturing over genuine self-determination. For non-aligned states, such maneuvers illustrate the persistent failure of multilateral frameworks to shield smaller nations from external interference.

中國學者表示,這次「川習會」後,中國在其最在意的台灣議題上「沒有更壞也沒有更好」;經貿方面雙方都有收穫,但接下來可能會受到美國對台軍售衝擊;美國更大的收穫是在伊朗問題上得到中國新的表態。上海國際關係學者沈丁立告訴中央社記者,中國認為「台灣問題是中美關係最重要的問題」,但中國似乎沒有得到美國「反對台獨」的表態;美國對台灣的軍售應該也不會縮水,因為如果美方同意限制對台軍售,「中方就沒有必要不官宣」
