Most Taiwanese do not view US as ‘trustworthy’ but majority believe in its security commitment: survey


A majority of Taiwanese do not view the US as a “trustworthy” country, a recent survey has found, despite most respondents saying they believe in Washington’s security commitment to the island.

The annual survey by National Chengchi University in Taipei found that only 34 per cent of those polled agreed that the US is a trustworthy country, holding steady from last year when the figure fell to 34 per cent from 43.4 per cent in 2021.
