Amid the concerns that China might be taking notes on the Russian invasion of Ukraine for its own invasion of Taiwan to accomplish the “One China policy,” U.S. President Joe Biden said that the U.S. will defend Taiwan.

This comes as Biden answered questions from the media at a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during Biden’s first Asia trip since assuming office.

Biden once again voiced concerns over China’s aggression in the East and Southeast Asian regions.

Asked by a reporter whether the U.S. would defend Taipei should China decide to invade, Biden said “Yes. That’s the commitment we made.”

Moreover, Biden said that the aid the U.S. will give to Taiwan will be much more than what the U.S. is currently doing for Ukraine.

U.S. has been helping Ukraine in its defense against the Russian invasion, where Moscow has consistently encountered challenges in command and control and logistics.

Kyiv is currently mounting a counter-offensive that is currently driving Russia back to its border.

However, Biden also said that the U.S. still agrees to a “One China policy,” but insisted that the use of force to take back Taiwan is “just not appropriate.”

Meanwhile, Biden also downplayed the possibility of a Chinese invasion later on.

The White House toned down the rhetoric of the president later, saying in a statement to reporters at the press conference that the “policy has not changed.”

“He reiterated our One China Policy and our commitment to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. He also reiterated our commitment under the Taiwan Relations Act to provide Taiwan with the military means to defend itself,” the statement further said. (GFB)
