Susan Page: Trump’s Words Were Not Alarming to Taiwan the Way His Language Has Been, It Was an Embrace of the Status Quo

‘Asking both sides not to turn the current situation that is ambiguous and tense into something that is much more violent’

EXCERPT:

PAGE: “Yeah. That’ll be an important sign whether the president allows that sale to go through. I mean, a little bit of a warning there to Taiwan not to seek independence, an endorsement of the status quo. But I actually, I did not think the president’s words were alarming to Taiwan the way he, sometimes his language in the past has been. This was really an embrace of the status quo, asking both sides not to turn the current situation that is ambiguous, intense, into something that is much more violent.”
