Taiwan issue is one of politics, not jurisprudence
The Cairo Declaration issued 80 years ago became the basis of several international law documents and was backed by substantive procedures for the implementation of the related international laws. Academic Wang Weinan believes that the declaration carries a historical significance that should be considered even today amid the Taiwan issue.

Will the US abandon Taiwan?
Academics Zhou Wenxing and Wang Weinan observe the hard truth that Taiwan is often used as a strategic card to be played in the US's relationship with China. While Biden seems to be the safer pair of hands on Taiwan policy, if Trump gets re-elected, Taiwan may be entering a game of high risk but high returns. Either way, Taiwan will have to watch for which way the political vane turns, as the winds moving them are rarely in their control.
