Adam Ereli Later Quotations

The United States does not support Taiwan independence and opposes unilateral changes to the status quo by either Taiwan or Beijing.

Our understanding from the authorities in Taiwan was that the action Taiwan took on February 27 was deliberately designed not to change the status quo ... Our firm policy is that there should be no unilateral change in the status quo, as we have said many times.

We will continue to hold President Chen by his commitments not to take unilateral moves. We will be following events closely.

We've reiterated the view that Taiwan needs to refrain from taking actions which can be seen as unilateral efforts to change the status quo.

We do not support Taiwan independence, and we oppose unilateral changes to the status quo by either side.
