Beijing responded with disapproval as the president broke with historic policy.
President Joe Biden delivers remarks during a Cabinet Meeting at the White House, Sept. 06, 2022.President Joe Biden said Sunday that the U.S. would militarily defend Taiwan if China were to attack -- reiterating, again,, Biden was asked if "U.S. forces" would respond to aid Taiwan against China. He said, "If in fact there was an unprecedented attack."
Since a 1979 agreement, the U.S. has acknowledged the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government of China -- with Taiwan having emerged as a separate faction after the Chinese civil war -- while refraining from commenting on the third-rail question of Taiwanese independence. She said China "deplores" and "firmly opposes" the president's latest statements and that China reserves the right to take all necessary measures but said the country is "willing to do our best to strive for peaceful reunification."
Taiwanese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Joanne Ou said in response that their government "expresses sincere welcome and gratitude to President Biden and the U.S. government for reiterating its rock solid commitment to Taiwan.”
