Our understanding from the authorities in Taiwan was that the action Taiwan took on February 27 was deliberately designed not to change the status quo ... Our firm policy is that there should be no unilateral change in the status quo, as we have said many times.
We do not support Taiwan independence, and we oppose unilateral changes to the status quo by either side.
The United States does not support Taiwan independence and opposes unilateral changes to the status quo by either Taiwan or Beijing.
