US President Joe Biden told the East Asia Summit that China's recent actions towards Taiwan"threaten regional peace and stability".
Speaking via video link to the summit, Mr Biden said the United States was "deeply concerned by China's coercive and proactive actions ... across the Taiwan Strait" which separates the island from China.US President Joe Biden participates virtually in the annual US-ASEAN Summit from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, DC.
Mr Biden last week told a televised forum the United States was ready to defend the island from any Chinese invasion, remarks that were quickly walked back by the White House amid warnings from China.And earlier in the week on Tuesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged greater inclusion of Taiwan in UN institutions, prompting China to insist the island had no right to join the world body.
Biden also took aim at China's maritime claims during the summit, saying the US was "fully committed to the freedom of the seas, open waterways, and unimpeded flow of commerce, including in the South China Sea".Beijing has overlapping claims in the flashpoint sea with several southeast Asian states. Li Keqiang told the summit that upholding peace, stability, freedom of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea was in everyone's interest.
Bidden and he's handlers have destroyed everything we've believed in. He needs to be stood down.

Taiwan has no right to join the United Nations, China saysChina says Taiwan has no right to join the United Nations, after calls from the United States for the island to have greater involvement in the world body. So is their ABC in a quandary now 🤔 This is who will run Australia if Labor wins the election. Not a single Labor minister has the backbone to stand up to china. There is only one China. The Taiwan issue demonstrates how many people are NPCs and are easily swayed by the media. Why anyone would want to die for the American empire is beyond me. It only exists because the Americans wanted to 'contain' communism.

Former rugby league internationals launch concussion class actionA group of retired rugby league players in Great Britain allege the Rugby Football League failed to protect them from the risks caused by head injuries, in a case set to be closely monitored by the NRL. This is why terms of world peace are Independent Sovereignty, Britain is responsible for protecting its citizens, Australia isn't, if Australia has to protect British citizens, why would British people be loyal to Britain? I'm sorry, but having watched rugby and league over many years, most of these players would have demanded they stay on the field in any instances of suspected concussion, especially at grand finals. I understand their issue, but to sue? Look at how Australian business sets up shop in the 3rd world, uses child and slave labour to mass produce on the cheap, ships it home, jacks up the price, exploiting both the foreign citizen and Australian consumer in one fell swoop? If it's illegal here, it's always illegal.
