Though the US has continued to make guarantees to Taiwan that US policy to Taiwan will not change, and that the US will not sign any "fourth communique" that will extend or overturn the three previous US-PRC joint communiques, no one concerned with the security of Taiwan took the summit lightly.
雖然美國方面一再向台灣保證，美國對台政策不變，不會簽訂與過去「中」美簽訂三個公報之外的「第四公報」，但關心台灣安全的人們仍不敢掉以輕心。
