Some American scholars pointed out that "the competition between China and the United States will only become more intense. The strategy of 'strategic ambiguity' towards Taiwan is no longer in the best interests of the United States, but Harris and Trump are both vague about their Taiwan-related strategies." The United States should first appease its Asian allies who are suspicious of its defense agreement. The direction of cross-strait relations will not be affected by the US strategy at all.

Democratic presidential candidate Harris and vice presidential candidate Waltz

As the US presidential election draws closer, some American political scholars believe that "Democratic presidential candidate Harris does not seem willing to fully commit that 'the United States will defend Taiwan', and the same is true for Republican presidential candidate Trump."

American scholars compared the statements made by the current US President Biden on Taiwan. Biden often declared that "the United States will firmly support the Taiwan region and will intervene militarily if a conflict occurs in the Taiwan region." However, Harris's attitude on this matter is vague, not as tough and specific as Biden's.

Trump has never explicitly said whether he would "send troops to help Taiwan". Instead, he proposed that the Taiwanese authorities pay "protection fees". This statement has increased the uncertainty of "the United States defending Taiwan" after his return to the White House. The people in Taiwan probably also know this. Many people have heard the warning and even feel that "Taiwan must rely on its own strength to defend itself."
