US will use force to defend Taiwan if China invades, says Biden
The Independent says the US will intervene with military force if China moves to invade Taiwan, Joe Biden said on Monday during a visit to Tokyo, in one of the strongest statements of support for Taipei in decades.
On his first trip to Asia during his presidency, Mr Biden said the burden to safeguard the self-ruled island had become “even stronger” following Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
“That’s the commitment we made,” Mr Biden said in a press conference, adding that any effort by China to use force against Taiwan would “just not be appropriate”.
Such an attack “will dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in Ukraine”, Mr Biden said.
