Biden Vows US To Respond Militarily If China Attacks Taiwan, White House Walks Back

"You didn't want to get involved in the Ukraine conflict militarily for obvious reasons. Are you
willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that
?" a reporter asked Biden during a news conference. "Yes," Biden replied.
The somewhat incredulous reporter, upon hearing blunt and perhaps unexpected answer in the affirmative pressed further, "You are?"
"That's the commitment we made," the president said.
 Naturally, the White House quickly scrambled to try and walk back the president's clear affirmation that he would send a US military force against nuclear-armed superpower China in the event of an invasion. A statement said that the US policy "has not changed." ZeroHedge
