The US recently has escalated hype about a military conflict scenario in the Taiwan Straits, hinting at a commitment to "defend the island," but such moves are no more than fooling the island to follow the US' anti-China strategy and using Taiwan as a pawn, analysts said on Wednesday.
No matter how "Taiwan independence" forces attempt to trumpet "US' support," more and more people on the island have recognized the so-called protection is not reliable or trustworthy at all, according to analysts.
The US House Financial Services Committee on Tuesday advanced a raft of China-related sanctions bills, a sign of increasing hawkishness in the Republican-controlled chamber amid strained relations between Washington and Beijing, Bloomberg reported.
Taiwan media hailed those "supporting Taiwan" bills as economic deterrents to thwart China from military operations and ensure Taiwan island's international membership, including in the IMF.
