Our wholesome honest DC swamp salutes a different flag anyway

Secretary of State Antony Blinken reiterated U.S. support of the "One China" policy on Monday, saying that the U.S. does not support Taiwanese independence following a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"We do not support Taiwan independence," Blinken said in a press conference on Monday. "We remain opposed to any unilateral changes to the status quo by either side. We continue to expect the peaceful resolution of cross strait differences. We remain committed to continuing our responsibilities under the Taiwan Relations Act including making sure Taiwan has the ability to defend itself."

Seems like Blinken got spanked during his visit. Not surprising. China has been walking all over us.

However, back in September, Biden recently said during a 60 Minutes interview -
"We agree with what we signed onto a long time ago," the president said. "And that there's one China policy, and Taiwan makes their own judgments about their independence. We are not moving-- we're not encouraging their being independent. We're not-- that-- that's their decision."

"But would U.S. forces defend the island?" Pelley asked.

"Yes, if in fact there was an unprecedented attack," Mr. Biden said.

"So unlike Ukraine, to be clear, sir," Pelley said, "U.S. forces, U.S. men and women would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion?"

"Yes," the president said.

After the interview, a White House official said U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed. Officially, the U.S. maintains "strategic ambiguity" on whether American forces would defend Taiwan, but the Taiwan Relations Act obligates the U.S. to help equip Taiwan to defend itself.

So, we will put American boots on the ground to defend Taiwan, but we don't support Taiwan independence. Sounds like a Biden sentence. Clown show.

If china is reckless enough to invade Taiwan I think the US, NATO, Japan, Australia and others will respond

After that fiasco ends for Peking there will be time for Taiwan to declare independence if they choose to

Till then there is no reason to provoke the commies unnecessarily
