Chinese analysts mocked the remarks of White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, who said that the US' commitment to Taiwan "remains as strong as it's ever been," pointing out that actions speak louder than words and that Washington's reassurances are astonishing against the backdrop of its abrupt withdrawal from Afghanistan.
They said that once the price for keeping its strategic interests with Taiwan becomes unbearable, the US will abandon Taiwan island without hesitation.
During a press conference on Tuesday, in response to questions that people in Taiwan island and elsewhere are fearful that the US will abandon them like it did in Afghanistan, Sullivan stressed that the US' commitment to its allies and partners are "sacrosanct and always have been" and said Taiwan is a fundamentally different question in a different context from Afghanistan.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki also stressed at the press conference that "We stand by, as is outlined in the Taiwan Relations Agreement, by our - by individuals in Taiwan. We stand by partners around the world who are subject to this kind of propaganda that Russia and China are projecting."
Sullivan's remarks come as the unexpected end in Afghanistan has "shocked" US allies and partners, who criticized the hasty withdrawal as a humiliation and striking a blow against the US' credibility.

Commence the SE Pacific nuclear arms race. Participants, please report to the starting line....
If I were Taiwan, I would be calling bullshit.
Taiwan still have nuclear capability?
They better have it.
Why do you knowingly post naked CCP propaganda?
Yes, I do. Don’t you want to know what the enemy is writing? I don’t hide my head in the sand. Know your enemy to defeat your enemy. But perhaps some are pussies and can’t handle that. It’s no different than posting an article from the New York Slimes or Washington Compost. Those are commie propaganda rags too.
Did you used to post articles from Pravda?
Yes, I did. I am actually a commie and My sole mission is the brainwash low-IQ and uninformed people like you.
Really? You did? You went back in time and grabbed Pravda articles hot off the Kremlin Press? You are da MAN!
Since I asked reasonable question and you responded with garbage personal attack, I can only presume you are a fake and a troll. Putting you on the List of Trolls.
Agreed.
The entire Western Pacific is screwed.
Actually, the entire Western Hemisphere is screwed.
Wish we had at least transferred to Taiwan, (for safe storage of course;), our Insirlik, Turkey “cold war” stored dial-a-nukes.
This is Obama’s doing.
I agree.
“Obama/Clinton like” fingerprints all over this horrific disaster.
And they can’t let a crisis go to waste either.
No worries, the assistant democrat party will provide their cover...
They can’t get blamed for stupidity either. Joe is so asleep he doesn’t understand. What a day…
