Biden: US will defend Taiwan in case the island’s military conflict with China escalates

US President Biden has said US troops will defend Taiwan in the event of an escalation of conflict on the island by China.

US President Joe Biden said in an interview with CBS television that Washington will stand up to defend Taiwan in the event the island’s military conflict with China escalates.

“Yes, in the event there is an unprecedented attack,” Biden said.

The US leader clarified that in doing so, the US ostensibly continues to recognise the territorial integrity of the PRC.

“We agree with what we signed up to years ago. Both that there is a ‘one China’ policy and that Taiwan makes its own sovereignty decisions. We are not encouraging Taiwan to become independent from China, despite our cooperation with the island,” Biden said
