President Biden’s statement that the U.S. would defend Taiwan from an attack from China triggered a sharp response from Beijing. It also raises questions about whether this is changing U.S. policy and making a new commitment to Taiwan. Ivan Kanapathy, director for China, Taiwan and Mongolia on the National Security Council staff during the Trump administration, joins Nick Schifrin to discuss, in the video published on May 23, 2022, “Biden vows to intervene militarily if China invades Taiwan“, below:
China has warned the US president not to underestimate Beijing’s resolve on Taiwan. Joe Biden said he’d intervene, militarily, to defend the island from any invasion.

Former U.S. ambassador to NATO Ivo Daalder, New York Times Pentagon Correspondent Helene Cooper, and NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell join Andrea Mitchell to discuss President Biden’s comments that the United States would support Taiwan if China invades. “In a world in which major powers start using force against neighbors without being provoked, there are consequences,” says Daalder. “The President is signaling to the Chinese that the kinds of things we’re seeing in Ukraine are the kinds of things we will be prepared to do with regard to Taiwan, a long standing very close partner of the United States.” in the video published on May 23, 2022, “There Are Limits To What China Can Do Without Facing ‘Consequences’ From US: Daalder“, below:
President Biden warned Beijing not to invade Taiwan and said he would intervene with the military if necessary. The simple yes appears to defy a longstanding policy of “strategic ambiguity” as U.S. policy doesn’t require military intervention. Taiwan expressed gratitude for the news; China suggests the U.S. should refrain from making wrong signals. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says U.S. policy “has not changed.” in the video published on May 23, 2022, “Biden Vows To Defend Taiwan If China Invades“, below:
