"He's clear in his conviction that the U.S. should respond to Chinese military aggression against Taiwan. He's ambiguous about what exactly that means and what commitment the U.S. has made to Taiwan's defense," said Daniel Russel, the top U.S. diplomat for East Asia during the Obama administration.
The White House National Security Council and the State Department did not respond to Reuters questions on that issue. But wary of triggering conflict with nuclear-armed Russia, the U.S. government has been clear that its support to Ukraine does not constitute direct U.S. military involvement, even if it has involved supplying large quantities of lethal weaponry.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government has stepped up engagement with Taiwan, continued arms sales to the island, and earlier this month the State Department quietly updated its webpage describing unofficial ties to Taiwan, removing references to China's position.Bonnie Glaser, a Taiwan expert at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, said Biden's comments could have the opposite effect of deterring China.
It is quite incredible to say this but i am now starting to think trump wasn't that bad after all.
