This is the third time in less than a year that Biden has publicly declared that the United States would use force to keep Beijing from seizing the island. Once again, the White House scrambled to clarify that the US position has not actually changed: the United States continues to adhere to a One China policy and maintain “strategic ambiguity” rather than clarity as to whether it would defend Taiwan.
This approach is a wise one that, as many administration officials recognize, has served the United States well. But repeated gaffes risk being interpreted as changes in policy.
They increase the chance of damaging peace and stability between the world’s two leading powers.
**Biden was traveling in Belgium and Poland. For God’s sake,” Biden added, “this man cannot remain in power.” referring to President Putin of Russia.
But the walk back only prompted the question of why Biden uttered the line in the first place and whether he had consciously meant to convey the message.
This President's comments is irresponsible and is not helping any of these situation except, increasing the distrust in US administration. Just a thought.
