FM believes Taiwan see more opportunities than threats in Trump's China
policy
Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung says he believes the confrontational policy
being seen in Donald Trump's second U-S presidency toward China is more of an
opportunity for Taiwan than a threat.
According to Lin, the main focus of Trump's second term is in countering
China …
… and although countering China does not necessarily mean supporting
Taiwan, the Trump administration's stance (立場) gives the island the
opportunity to find common interests.
Speaking during an interview with an online media outlet, Lin said for
Taiwan's national interests, the government is finding interests shared with
Washington and focusing on pushing policies where the interests of both
countries are aligned.
