WASHINGTON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden will send a delegation of former senior defense and security officials to Taiwan on Monday, a senior official of his administration said, a sign of support for the island claimed by China after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

China got cold feet.
On the contrary. I think the Deep State is freaking out. We have already failed to honor our security guarantee to Ukraine. If we fail to do so for Taiwan, it's not inconceivable that we may find ourselves utterly bereft of allies in an increasingly dangerous world.
