As if things haven’t gone off the rails enough since Biden assumed the presidency, what with his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, Russian invading Ukraine, Iran working towards having nuclear weapons, letting a Chinese spy balloon fly across the entire country, Hamas with their horrific attack on Israel/Jews, the Iranian back Houthis getting frisky, and so much more, now Let’s Go Brandon is giving China the green light to invade Taiwan
Biden: US does not support Taiwan independence
U.S. President Joe Biden said on Saturday the United States does not support the independence of Taiwan, after Taiwanese voters rebuffed China and gave the ruling party a third presidential term.
Earlier in the day, the Taiwanese ruling Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) presidential candidate Lai Ching-te came to power, strongly rejecting Chinese pressure to spurn him, and pledged both to stand up to Beijing and seek talks.
“We do not support independence…” Biden said, when asked for reaction to Saturday’s elections.
Hours ahead of the polls opening, Washington had warned “it would be unacceptable” for “any” country to interfere in the election.
And that means what, Joe?
The United States is Taiwan’s most important international backer and arms supplier despite the lack of formal diplomatic ties with the island.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken congratulated Lai Ching-te on his victory and said the United States “is committed to maintaining cross-strait peace and stability, and the peaceful resolution of differences, free from coercion and pressure.”He said the U.S.looks forward to working with Lai and leaders of all parties in Taiwan to advance their “longstanding unofficial relationship, consistent with the U.S. one China policy.”
But, Joe says the U.S. doesn’t support independence?
In a show of support for the government, Biden plans to dispatch an unofficial delegation to the self-governed island, according to a senior Biden administration official.
The delegation is likely to include some former high-ranking American officials, according to the official, who said the names have not been finalized. Similar delegations have been sent to Taiwan in the past.
So, do we support independence or not? Do we support Taiwan or not?
The Biden administration has feared that the election, transition and new administration would escalate conflict with Beijing.
Biden has worked to smooth relations with China, including agreeing to talk through differences on security matters at a California summit with President Xi Jinping in November.
Exactly what is the Biden regime standing for? When China hears “we do not support independence” what are they thinking? When they see Joe trying to smooth relations, what are they thinking? When Blinkin gives a conflicting statement, what is China thinking? Is it something along the lines of “the Biden admin is squishy, let’s invade Taiwan”?
Seriously, how contorted and absurd can Brandon foreign policy get? China intends to invade and take control of Taiwan. China has militarized and seized vast areas of the South China Sea. It will probably make no difference to Chinese intentions or actions if the US declares that it recognizes and will support Taiwanese independence. It just might however cause them to postpone and will certainly show other countries in the area that the US actually has a backbone. They would then be more inclined to collectively resist coercion by China.
We have a treaty to protect Taiwan, and Biden is making it difficult. And then he blew out of D.C. to head to Camp David.
