As a journalist, I see this as a significant diplomatic statement, but also one that requires careful scrutiny. Such assurances, while symbolic, don’t erase the long-standing tensions between Beijing and Taipei. The real test lies in how these words translate into policy, regional security.

Do you really believe what Trump says...I bet that conversation didn't happen.

As journalists, our role isn’t to speculate on whether the conversation happened, but to analyze its implications and contrast it with historical and diplomatic realities.

As journalists, belief is not the foundation — verification is. What matters is that Trump made the statement publicly, and that in itself becomes newsworthy, regardless of whether the private conversation happened exactly as he described. The responsibility is to report what was said.

Media organisations surrendering after threats, and journalists are not challenging his lies enough. The strategy has to change in my opinion. His administration has become authoritarian and I'm yet to see a journalist take Trump head on regardless of the abuse they might face. 🤷

You raise an important point. Many journalists walk a fine line between holding leaders accountable and ensuring they still have access to report. The challenge with Trump ... and leaders who use intimidation .. is that traditional reporting methods often fall short.

Because the CCP is good at keeping their word? Because trump is such an excellent negotiator? Because they’re afraid of trump? Because it benefits them to try to keep him in power as a manipulable puppet? False, false, false, true!
