    Biden says U.S. willing to use force to defend Taiwan prompting backlash from China



    Key Points
    • When asked at a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida whether the U.S. would be prepared to defend Taiwan if attacked, Biden replied: “Yes.”
    • Taiwan’s foreign ministry thanked Biden for reaffirming U.S. support if Beijing invaded the island.
    • However, China’s foreign ministry said the U.S. should not defend Taiwan independence, Reuters reported.


    Biden said. “We agree with the ‘one China’ policy. We signed on to it. All the attendant agreements [were] made from there. But the idea that that can be taken by force, just taken by force. It’s just not it’s just not appropriate.”

    The simple fact is sabang knows nothing other than what his chinky propaganda tells him.

    No mention that his sitters have already walked baby Joe's babbling back? And of course if I were Taiwanese I might well be asking- why don't they have boots on the ground in Ukraine then? Or Chinese. Or Ukrainian.

    Yeah. What's happening in Ukraine sure looks desirable for the average Taiwanese person.

    China is fine with the status quo. And the US is walking away from the status quo

    China is far from fine with status quo. They have over the years stated Taiwan belongs to China and will be taken if necessary by force.

    Until 1978 when the criminal Nixon did his thing there were lots of boots on the ground in Taiwan. I was one of them in the 60s. Boots on a ROCN ship.

    Joe is spot on declaring if the PRC invades Taiwan, US boots on the ground will follow.

    China is fine with Taiwan larping as an independent country like it has been. But it will attack if the US starts making and aircraft carrier out of it.

    And the US is slowly inching towards that ends.

    This is Ukraine 2.0. Whoever changes the status quo.will be the one who started the war

    Thanks to Wladimir Putin. He has shaken the West from its deep sleep. We won't get back to sleep any time soon.

    If you think the US could win a war for Taiwan on China's doorstep you'd be mistaken. But this is what empires always do. They get in wars to preserve the empire that are exactly what ends the empire.
