Biden Criticized China's Coercive Actions in Taiwan Strait and Said its Commitment to Taiwan is Rock-Solid
Joe Biden, the President of the United States, criticized China for taking coercive actions in Taiwan Strait during East Asia Summit on Wednesday (27 October). And the actions threatened the peacefulness and stability of regions and reaffirmed that the US commitment to Taiwan is “rock-solid”.
During the summit, Biden said, “We are deeply concerned about China’s coercion action”. He continued, “the US has made a commitment to Taiwan. In fact, the commitment is rock-solid and consistent across successive governments. We will continue to maintain the peacefulness and stability of Taiwan Strait region”.
Biden said last week that the US has the responsibility to provide Taiwan with means of self-defence under the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act. The US will defend Taiwan if China attacks them. Biden’s remarks run counter to the US’s consistent “strategic ambiguity” stance on Taiwan.
China later expressed their dissatisfaction with Biden’s remarks and urged Washington not to send the wrong signal to Taiwan, so as not to seriously damage Sino-US relations and the peace and stability of Taiwan Strait.
