One phone call does not a treaty make, but President Donald Trump’s conversation with Russia’s Vladimir Putin on ending the war in Ukraine is worrying Taiwan. China will watch developments for any hint on whether a resolution spells a similar future for the self-ruled island Beijing claims as its own.
Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te’s government should consider what it can offer Trump to avoid becoming a pawn in the US-China rivalry. It’s a delicate balance: Appeasing the US leader doesn’t only mean figuring out what he wants, but interpreting how American policy toward the island might be changing.
