Lin Chih-chia (林志嘉), secretary-general of Taiwan Solidarity Union, said Li’s views were representative of China’s longstanding strategy of isolating Taiwan from the international community and forcing Taiwan to sign a peaceful agreement under its “one China” framework.
“China has been persuading the US to refrain from selling arms to Taiwan and warding off any interference of international players in cross-strait issues so as to achieve its goal of annexation of Taiwan,” Lin said.
Lin said China had recently ratcheted up the pressure on US over its arms sale policy to Taiwan after one of its main strategy to take over Taiwan by causing the country’s economic dependence on China started to generate results.
