President JoeBiden said the United States would defend Taiwan if China were to attack in what appeared to be a break in America’s long-held strategic ambiguity on the subject.

But a White House spokesman later indicated Mr Biden’s remarks did not in fact signify an overhaul of US foreign policy.

Biden’s comments come after the US Department of State reasserted its support for the one-China policy earlier this year. The first time he was asked by a participant if he could “vow to protect Taiwan” and what he would do as President to keep up with China’s military growth. "China, Russia and the rest of the world knows we're the most powerful military in the history of the world,” he said.

He accused America of “leading the situation in the Taiwan Strait into a dangerous direction” after Mr Biden’s nominee for ambassador to Beijing called out China’s treatment of the Uyghurs.
