President Biden Says the U.S. Will Defend Taiwan If “Unprecedented Attack” Occurs By China

It seems to me that President Biden is making it pretty clear that the U.S. will defend Taiwan if it is attacked by China:

President Joe Biden on Sunday for the second time this year said U.S. troops would help defend Taiwan in case of a Chinese invasion, further casting doubt on the United States’ policy of “strategic ambiguity” regarding the island democracy.

Biden in an interview broadcast on CBS’ “60 Minutes” said the U.S. remains committed to the “One China” policy that acknowledges Beijing’s claim over Taiwan but considers the island’s status unresolved.

However, in the case of an “unprecedented attack,” U.S. troops would intervene, the president said.

An unnamed White House spokesman later said official U.S. policy toward China and Taiwan has not changed, CNBC reported Monday.

BTW, I’m not certain Joey BadSniff McPuddingpants is “pretty clear” on what day of the week it is. But his handlers are pretty clear that the US doesn’t want to interrupt Winnie XI’s despotism.

Go look at the poll asking Americans if they should get involved in fighting China over Taiwan. If the US is really interested in defending Taiwan, why the US won’t sell F-35s and other state-of-the-art arms to Taiwan? All talk no action.

My Dad was stationed in Taiwan years ago, training Taiwanese (then called Chinese) pilots. It is a safer world now than it was then (knock on wood). FWIW, he really liked and respected the Chinese (both sides, honestly).
