Trump's Greenland proposal ignites Taiwan debate among Chinese commentators
Chinese commentators are debating the implications of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's threats to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal. They suggest that Trump's approach may weaken U.S. calls for restraint regarding Taiwan. While the military situation around Taiwan remains unchanged, some analysts believe Trump's transactional foreign policy could open discussions about Taiwan. China's foreign ministry dismissed any connection between Greenland and Taiwan, asserting that Taiwan is an internal matter. Taiwan's government reaffirmed its sovereignty, stating that any distortion of its status won't alter the situation in the Taiwan Strait. Despite differing views, Trump's comments have sparked discussions in China about Taiwan's future.
