The Spin

Pro-China narrative

Such measures are necessary to prevent any entities from violating the previously agreed-upon One China principle and driving a wedge between Taiwan and mainland China. By continuing to arm Taiwan and support its independence, the US threatens the PRC's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity and endangers cross-strait peace and stability. The White House must desist from engaging with Taipei's secessionist leaders and immediately halt military collusion with Taiwan.

Anti-China narrative

The US doesn't recognize Taiwan as an independent state. However, Washington is against usurping the island by force and is legally bound to support Taiwan’s defensive capability, modernize its military, and expand its presence in global activities. Though Taiwan is a flash point in US-China relations, the White House will continue to aid the island to minimize its vulnerabilities to China's invasive tactics.
