World leaders congratulated Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for a historic third presidential term even as President Biden warned that the U.S. will not endorse independence for the island.

"We do not support independence," Biden told reporters when asked for comment on DPP candidate William Lai’s victory over the rival Koumintang (KMT) party following Saturday’s election.

Lai, who also goes by his Chinese name, Ching-te, declared victory after a tightly contested election saw him beat KMT candidate Hou Yu-ih, the mayor of New Taipei City. Beijing had not declared a clear preference for any candidate, but Chinese officials framed Lai as "dangerous."

Everybody knows that, Joe is compromised. But, the Chinese won’t reveal that fact, because, if they did, they wouldn’t be able to compromise other world leaders. But, Joe can’t tell the truth, or he would be a goner, instantly and into prison (along with his many cohorts).

So, the Chinese are stuck and Joe is stuck with keeping their mutual secret.

Hearing Biden try to explain our China policy would be quite a pay-per-view event.

I was all excited about this CCP defeat. Maybe they can’t cheat their way out of a landslide...

Come to find out Taiwan has paper ballots and hand counting.

If we have to wait for fair elections, I’m afraid we are a day late and a dollar short...

Unbelievable. Words escape me. How can the White House occupant say he doesn’t support independence for a sovereign nation? The man makes me ashamed to be an American.

Joe Biteme is kicking the supports out of a defense of Taiwan’s independence. That influence peddling has its influence.
