Analysts told CNA that the US will likely stick to the status quo, given that its presidential candidates would not want to contend with a crisis as they try to rally support.

U.S. Representative Mike Gallagher and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi attend a meeting with Taiwan President-elect Lai Ching-te and Vice President-elect Hsiao Bi-khim at the presidential palace in Taipei, Taiwan , in this handout image released February 22, 2024.

Beijing claims self-governed Taiwan as its territory and considers the passage of warships from other nations as a challenge to its sovereignty. "They will need the support from Taiwan, regardless of their political support, economic support ... if they want to have this kind of persistent competition with China," he told CNA's East Asia Tonight.

Containing China tends to be one of the few areas of bipartisan policy agreement in Washington DC, meaning that US support for Taiwan is likely to continue no matter who wins the presidency, the experts noted.
