Joe Biden: “Yes, the US would intervene in the event of a Chinese attack on Taiwan”. But then the White House: “Our policy hasn’t changed”

NEW YORK – The United States would rush to the defense of Taiwan and they have a commitment to do so. The US president said so Joe Biden at CNN, in fact making the American position explicit in an unprecedented way. On the protection of what Beijing considers a rebel province to be re-annexed to the motherland Washington has so far held a more nuanced position, that is, of protection, but without a declared obligation to intervene in the event of a Chinese attack.
