fter a White House statement appeared to walk back President Joe Biden's commitment to help defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion, several Republicans are calling for a firm commitment to a military response, should one be needed.
During a news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Monday, Biden was asked if he was willing to "get involved militarily" to defend Taiwan, and he responded that he was.
"That's the commitment we made," the president said.
But shortly after Biden made the remark, a White House official released a statement saying: "As the President said, our 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."

Which ever nitwits are promoting this, they should be jailed or put into an asylum.

Newsweek: the “news” publication that sold for a dollar and was overpriced.
“There is no legitimate or clear US government anymore.”
Then why did I write a nearly 6,000 dollar check to the US Treasury last month?
Military people [that know Russian and Chinese capabilities] and leading politicians of both parties need to have some frank secret meetings.
I know what Russia and China can do. Joe and Lindsey should too.
Diplomacy and tact are required from all leading powers.
Go to war with a nuclear power while our nation is literally collapsing here? No thanks, that’s psychopathic.
“Before we go to war with China, maybe it would be a good idea to manufacture essential products domestically first.”
Yup—the Republicans used to be the Stupid Party.
Now they are the Ludicrous Party.
You wrote your check to the enemy currently occupying Washington DC—just like conquered peoples have done throughout history.
I sure hope you don’t rely on any pharmaceuticals. Most likely they come from China. My arthritis is gonna hurt like a mother and Biden will be a real sight when off his meds. Like Biden said, Americans need to be prepared to suffer and with Biden’s coming sanctions on China, die, so we can position ourselves in the middle of a centuries old China v China quagmire. Hey look, no proxy this time. The USN will get the honor of firing the first shots of WWIII (Asia Theater).
So our feminized, transgendered, affirmative action military is going to fight both China and Russia, both of which have nukes? Whose soldiers aren’t fussy eaters?
How about we quietly build our capability but not talk about who we intend to fight.
And Stingers…
I’m tempted to think that the Chinese programmed Biden to say this. It removes strategic ambiguity and thereby allows the Chinese to definitively challenge US policy by escalating.
Exact same thing happened with the Russians and Ukraine.
Biden is a danger to humanity.
LOL. Newsweak is doing its best to run cover for Biden. Those nasty warmonger Republicans!!!! No mention of the fact that Dopey Joe is doing a pretty good job of getting us into a war with China without Republican goading.
If we’re going to war with China, we need to stop wasting resources and money on Ukraine.
“Then why did I write a nearly 6,000 dollar check to the US Treasury last month”.
Power.
