“China’s Flirting With Danger, US Will Defend Taiwan If Invaded”, Says Joe Biden

Tokyo: US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday his country would defend Taiwan militarily if Beijing invaded the self-ruled island.Warning China against “flirting with danger”

“That’s the commitment we made,” he said at a news conference in Tokyo when asked if the US would intervene militarily against a Chinese attempt to forcibly take control of Taiwan. “We agreed with the One China policy, we signed on to it… but the idea that it can be taken by force is just not appropriate”.

“We agree with the One-China policy, we signed onto it and all the attendant agreements made from there,” Biden added. “But the idea that it could be taken by force, just taken by force, is just not – it’s just not appropriate. It will dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in Ukraine.”

At the same time, Biden said that US policy toward Taiwan “has not changed at all.

Bloomberg reported that a White House spokeswoman repeated that comment after Biden’s remarks, saying the president reiterated “our One China Policy” and “our commitment under the Taiwan Relations Act to provide Taiwan with the military means to defend itself.”
