The United States will continue to abide by commitment on Taiwan’s security. “It is because the U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, Taiwan’s negotiations with the mainland would be more confident.”

reports, Burghardt added that China’s holdings of U.S. bonds only accounted for all U.S. Treasury bonds 6%, China’s exports to the U.S. trade accounts for a large proportion of China’s economy. China’s dependence on international trade far more than the United States. So the Chinese official threatened the interests of U.S. business and economic sanctions to retaliate and the U.S. company, to sell U.S. bonds is “absurd.” “If China did, hurt and loss, or China’s own interests. And will not work.”
