China expressed outrage Friday at comments by President Joe Biden, blasting his assertions that the U.S. would defend Taiwan in the case of a Chinese invasion, despite swift White House denials of any policy change.
Speaking at a CNN town hall event Thursday, Biden said in response to the question, "Are you saying that the United States would come to Taiwan's defense if China attacked?" with "Yes, we have a commitment to do that." The statement, though seemingly benign, appeared to refute long-standing but tenuous agreements between Washington and Beijing that have ultimately limited U.S. support for Taiwan to helping it bolster its own defenses – not necessarily insuring it with American military might. Administration officials issued a statement almost immediately on Thursday saying Biden's comments do not amount to any change to those policies.

How many times must they cut Biden's microphone or correct his words before people realize what is happening?
Biden has told the Amtrak story 4 or 5 times now even though it is 100% false. He cannot seem to remember that it is false and he should stop telling it.
Foreign media have noticed and are running stories on it.
Your pic, I stole it.
wonder who the real president is who keeps correcting this fake one
The worst part about the Biden Steal is the Ds and a surprising number of Rs believe he is a legitimate President.
Belief is irrelevant. He is the President. Relitigating 2020 is a doomed strategy.
So his story is about an employee grabbing face, and Joe tells secret services it’s OK. Like Joe saved his life, as SS was getting ready to shoot, because Joey loves the common man.
These are fantasies The employee was dead before Joey’s little story could have ever happened.
Joe just makes up crap, 24-7.
Spoken like a Republican who is incapable of understanding the problems we face. Come back when you admit voter theft was instrumental in the Biden installation.
Well said.
So knowing the truth means NOTHING to you???? Wow is this really Free Republic?
China is not outraged by anything.
Well said for a RINO get along....
When did we turn our back on Taiwan?
What tenuous agreements?
I thought I was keeping up....
Not really. Cowardice will destroy US. Republicans who ignore voter theft, and instead move on to the next Theft are no better than the Ds they want to replace. Please wake up, if not for yourself, for your kids and grand kids.
No invasion. They will blockade.
Ask the Hong Kongers that question.
I know you're kidding about this.
Try to focus on the topic at hand.
No POTUS (legit or not) has ever had their microphone cut or their statements contradicted this many times....especially in their first year.
