The US is playing ‘Taiwan card’ again, but for how long?

China Daily  

Recently, the US Department of State's official website updated the fact sheet on its relations with Taiwan island by removing the previous statement that the US "does not support 'Taiwan independence.'" The US has been taking petty actions regarding China's red line, and its stubborn adherence to the wrong policy of "using the island of Taiwan to contain China" is tantamount to playing with fire. First, the Taiwan island is centrally located within the "first island chain" that the US uses to contain China, particularly under the US "Indo-Pacific Strategy," giving the island irreplaceable geopolitical strategic value. We advise the US side not to challenge China's patience, to stop manipulating Taiwan-related issues, and to cease sending incorrect signals to "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.
