US Will Defend Taiwan in Case of Chinese Attack: Biden

US President Joe Biden has stated that the United States will defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack. This was reported by BBC News.

According to the news outlet, this marks a clear deviation from the US foreign policy stance that the country has held for many years. Later, a White House spokesperson clarified that the president's statement does not signify a change in policy.

China has threatened Taiwan with war if it seeks independence. The US has a law that requires the country to assist Taiwan in defending itself. However, it remains unclear how the US would react in the event of a Chinese attack on Taiwan.

Additionally, there has been no response from China regarding Biden's comments.
