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."

“ That’s always the American position.”
I see. You can cite nothing nor explain what you base your erroneous contention on.
You just make stuff up.
Lol.
I support Taiwan independence. Why didn’t anyone ask me first?
Shocking, disgraceful and predictable, considering who’s playing the role of President right now.
I support Taiwan.
Biden was for it before he was against it...
Thanks. Too lazy to find it!
Sleepy doesn’t get any of his grifters $$$ from Taiwan.
I totally agree with you!!!! This is absolutely terrible and really shows the frightening state we are in as a Nation!!
We called, you were in the head.
No he wouldn’t, he would he supporting his successors in the KMT if he was alive. Chiang had Taiwanese Nationalists shot. He always considered Taiwan a part of China and his government was merely the legitimate government of China in exile.
“ He always considered Taiwan a part of China and his government was merely the legitimate government of China in exile.”
Yes. (But not always - only starting around 1943 when it became apparent US would defeat Japan (which included Taiwan)).
But he never was for surrendering to Chicoms as US after Kissinger/Nixon pressured him to do. His son did not cave either.
In effect Biden just gave the okay for China to invade Taiwan.
It should be noted that Taiwan has a highly sophisticated engineering capability and nuclear reactors which can produce fissile fuel. They have the capability to produce nuclear weapons but did not as they have relied on the USA nuclear umbrella to protect them. They made a horrible mistake.
Could Taiwan defeat China in a nuclear war? No they could not. Could Taiwan wreck devastation on China if armed with nukes? Yes they could, thus China would not attack.
no no no, Joe...you were supposed to say
“We DO support independence,”.......
I forgot to add that France and the United Kingdom have nuclear forces that can not defeat Russia but that is somewhat irrelevant. They can destroy Russia as a functioning society and they would also be totally destroyed.
It is that simple. A nuclear nation of overwhelming superiority will not attack a nation with one nuclear sub that can destroy them as a functioning society. One sub can and we have many, France and England have a few.
War gets the green light. This moron just gave the CCP the go ahead.
That wad before the Chi Coms murdered 1 million Americans.
What great statement of irrefutable logic. Thank you.
