On his first trip to Asia since taking office, U.S. President Joe Biden says he would be willing to use force to defend Taiwan

Biden's comments appeared to be a departure from existing U.S. policy of so-called strategic ambiguity on its position on the self-governed island that China considers its territory and says is the most sensitive and important issue in its ties with the United States.

Biden made a similar comment about defending Taiwan in October. At that time, a White House spokesperson said Biden was not announcing any change in U.S. policy. Worries about China's growing might and the possibility that it could invade Taiwan have emboldened Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his ruling Liberal Democratic Party on defence, eroding some of the traditional wariness among many Japanese about taking a more robust defence posture.

Kishida said that he had gained support from Biden on Japan's becoming a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council amid growing calls for reform of the council. China and Russia are permanent members.

Oh good. Just what we need to fix America. Defending other countries.

Defend, what exactly? Is Taiwan a part of US by int law?Didn’t “defend” Ukraine or Bosnia surely! And why Taiwan? What is Taiwan’s standing on int law? What are China’s claims on Taiwan? Stop making excuses for war. Enough already. And if UN can’t enforce int law, why we have it?

E basta co sta forza.....!!!

Am I wrong to think that the tone of this article would have been totally different if Trump had said this?

Biden want nuclear war with China, he should forget Korea war,but war will be in American land if USA defend Taiwan.

leftists are war mongers

The US plutocracy 🇺🇸 tries to fight its decline by spreading Chaos in the rest of the world… 40 years of war, millions of deaths, it is expensive to pay for a bloodless and breathless system…

Put China Joe on the spot and he will confirm anything.

Taïwan is not a Nato member, just as Ukraine. Why USA doesn't use force in Ukraine also? Both aggressors have the A-H bomb, no? China owns additionaly a huge part in the american Debt (1 billion $). America sold his soul to her ennemies.

Taiwan Not Included in Launch of New Biden Indo-Pacific PactPresident Joe Biden is expected to unveil a list of countries who will joining a long anticipated Indo-Pacific trade pact, but Taiwan won’t be among them. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed that Taiwan isn’t among the governments signed up for Monday’s launch of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework. It is a trade pact that’s meant to allow the U.S. to work more closely with key Asian economies on issues including supply chains, digital trade, clean energy and anticorruption. Inclusion of the self-ruled island of Taiwan, which China claims as its own, would have irked Beijing. The framework is meant to establish Biden’s economic strategy for the region. Beijing, in anticipation of the launch of the pact, has criticized the U.S. effort. So that means China can take Taiwan later and it will be ok…wtf. 🤷‍♂️ With what money ? The left stealing from Americans taxes again
