Beijing has ramped up military pressure on the island in recent weeks and Taiwan’s defense minister earlier this month made a dire prediction: by 2025, China will be able to mount a “full-scale” invasion of Taiwan.
Last week, US President Joe Biden stated that the US was committed to coming to Taiwan’s defense if it comes under attack from China — remarks that seemed in opposition to America’s stated policy of “strategic ambiguity.”
Asked twice during a CNN town hall whether the US would protect Taiwan if China attacked, Biden said it would.”
Yes, we have a commitment to do that,” he said.
