“For Taiwan, this episode is a costly lesson in geopolitical strategy, highlighting the risks of misjudging the complex power dynamics within influential political circles. Betting on a sidelined figure like Pompeo was both politically and financially unwise.”
“Trump’s swift and public removal of Pompeo’s taxpayer-funded security detail sent a clear message: influence in Trump’s world is not for sale, especially not through figures who have fallen out of favor. This was not a routine budgetary decision but a calculated move to reassert control and loyalty within his brand.”
“Pompeo’s political career has been marked by an unbridled pursuit of personal gain, which has tarnished his political reputation and widened the chasm between him and Trump.”
“This situation underscores the importance of understanding the internal politics and brand dynamics of key political figures when engaging in international diplomacy. Miscalculations in these areas can lead to significant setbacks in achieving diplomatic and strategic objectives.”

“This article referenced an X post about Taiwan claimed to be made by Rui Chenggang. It is absolutely NOT true. My official and only X account is @Rui_Chenggang, this is the only Verified X account under my name Rui Chenggang 芮成钢 with the blue checkmark. The X account mentioned in your article, with a different handle @Rui_Chengang, is an impersonator who has been posing as me publishing incendiary comments and false information.
“Any of my long-time viewers and readers would tell these comments were not made by me. Any sensible X users would know how to separate a verified account from a false one. Any educated Chinese speaker would tell the impersonator was intentionally using a mis-spelling of my name to fool other readers. I can share with your organization that I am taking legal actions against this impersonator with X’s assistance.”
综合来信原文,芮成钢表示AFCL原查核报告称错误贴文由他发表,这绝非事实。他个人在X平台上的唯一帐号是”@Rui_Chenggang”,这乃是唯一经过蓝勾验证,并以他的姓名「芮成钢」注册的 X 帐号。
芮成钢指出,发送错误信息的帐号是”@Rui_Chengang”,字母拼写与真实帐号不同。芮成钢表示这是一个冒充者,「他一直假冒我的身份,发布煽动性言论和虚假资讯。」他批评这名冒充者故意在我的姓名拼写上做手脚,试图欺骗其他读者,”我已在 X 平台的协助下,对这名冒充者采取法律行动。”
