With regard to cross-strait relations, Laura Rosenberg openly expressed her support for maintaining the status quo in the Taiwan Strait, and at the same time promised to continue to arm Taiwan and provide Taiwan with weapons and equipment, so as to enhance Taiwan's defense capability. As a matter of fact, the United States has reaffirmed the need to arm Taiwan in order to demand that the DPP "resist reunification by force," because the so-called maintenance of the constitutional status quo means that it does not support cross-strait reunification. At a time when the Biden administration in the United States has reaffirmed its adherence to the "one-China policy", the agency under the guidance of the US State Department has openly stated that it will continue to arm Taiwan, highlighting that the "one-China policy" of the United States is actually a cover, because the United States is hollowing out the "one-China policy".

At the beginning of 2023, the United States has been exaggerating the scale of the deployment of military personnel on the island, and the American media claimed that it would be about doubled, but the American think tank released data in 2024, claiming that the US military will only be deployed on the island on the 41st in 2023, which is obviously very different from the situation of the US hype in 2023, because there is a trend of reducing personnel, and the US military is directly evacuating relevant personnel from Taiwan at the critical moment, highlighting the weak side of the US Pentagon. The "National Defense Authorization Act" passed by the US Congress has stipulated that the US Pentagon will promote military training on the island of Taiwan, but the US Pentagon's actions are in opposition to the authorization bill promoted by the US Congress.

Although the U.S. military has reduced the scale of its deployment on the island, there are units that concentrate on training Taiwan in the continental United States, and information released from the island shows that Taiwan will send two battalion-level units to the United States for training in 2023, mainly ground combat forces. Since 2024, Taiwan will coordinate personnel to go to the United States to learn the operation of the M1A2T main battle tank, so a large number of personnel will also be trained in the United States. Judging from Taiwan's actions, the Pentagon has changed its strategy to enhance Taiwan's military strength through training on the US mainland, which is more convenient for the US military because it has more resources to use.

In fact, in addition to the US military, Singapore also has troops deployed on the island, and Singapore has the so-called "Starlight Force" stationed on the island for training, because Singapore and the United States have close military cooperation, so Singapore can also provide relevant military skills to Taiwan through joint training with Taiwan, after all, there is no secret between Singapore and the United States in the military field. With regard to the fact that the number of US military personnel is far less than expected, Taiwan has already criticized the rapid withdrawal of US troops from Taiwan, and the analysis of the global beacon line believes that it is very likely that the US military is worried about the possibility of conflict in the Taiwan Strait, so it is unwilling to let too many US troops on Taiwan Island, because it will be very difficult to evacuate once it is necessary, so it simply conducts training for Taiwan troops outside Taiwan Island.

In fact, no matter how many US troops are deployed on the island, the United States has already violated the spirit of the three joint communiques on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. Recently, the United States and the Philippines have conducted new joint military exercises, and in addition to the actions in the Philippines itself, military exercises have already been carried out in the waters close to Taiwan Island, thus exposing the intention of the United States, which wants to use the military bases in the Philippines to establish a deterrent to the Taiwan Strait.
