Biden course-corrects, shows China US is 'not afraid' by mentioning Taiwan during Asia trip: Gordon Chang

For once, I have to give a big "thumbs up" to Biden.

Asia expert and 'The Great US-China Tech War' author Gordon Chang said the Biden administration is working to backtrack previous indications that the U.S. is fearful of China by proceeding with Taiwan discussions despite public warnings from Chinese officials. Chang told "Fox & Friends Weekend" host Will Cain on Sunday that China's recent military drill is "connected" to Biden's Asia visit because his joint statement with South Korean president Yoon Seok-youl mentioned Taiwan directly.

So yeah, good stuff standing up to China.

What happened to China Joe?

Okey dokey.

Our dynamic President is talking the talk.

But will he walk the walk if Red China attacks Free China?

I guess the only ones who know the answer are the members of the woke think tank that gives President Biden his marching orders.

It was not in our national interest to commit troops to Ukraine, but you think it would be in our national interest to jump into a hot war with China if it were to invade?

Your backhanded compliments and stupid, tired “woke” jabs are boring.

The least you could do is try to be entertaining.

Sadly, war is sometimes necessary, for human beings are horrible creatures.

If the United States (quietly) told China that it would assist Taiwan (in every way except send American troops), such a warning might make the Emperor think twice.

Maybe the Emperor might realize that in such a war, Taiwan could be expected to attack Chinese cities and wreak havoc, which might even precipitate the end of Communist China's dictatorship.

(I understand that the British in the 1930s brushed aside the idea of "terminating" the life of that German pipsqueak because it would be ungentlemanly. I am so glad that today's Israel has no such qualms when it comes to Israel's enemies. Look at how Israel sends its agents right into Iran!!!! Laughing my posterior off.)

Unfortunately, China is powerful, tyrannical, and at war against democracy globally, most of all the US. This is something the American people aren't really told and don't clearly get. We need the government to respond, looking for a peaceful way to co-exist in this new cold war.

And Taiwan is a critical issue, with China committed to military taking control and our having no good option to prevent it. It opens the door to a worse crisis than Ukraine. The president of Taiwan said last year that she thinks China will attack within five years.
