President Biden Says He And China's Xi Have Agreed To Abide By Taiwan Agreement

The Hill: Biden and Xi agree to abide by Taiwan agreement 

President Biden said on Tuesday that he and Chinese President Xi Jinping have agreed to abide by the status quo in light of recent military provocations carried out by China against the self-governing island. 

"I’ve spoken with Xi about Taiwan. We agree we will abide by the Taiwan agreement. That’s where we are and I made it clear that I don’t think he should be doing anything other than abiding by the agreement," Biden told reporters. 

The Taiwan Relations Act, one of several planks undergirding the current diplomatic relationship between the U.S., China and Taiwan, was passed by Congress in 1979 in order to "maintain peace, security, and stability in the Western Pacific" by maintaining "friendly commercial, cultural, and other relations" between Washington and Taipei.

I'm going to wait for verification. It's a way of life for me for most news outlets these days.

Wait a minute, what does it mean? Is it the same kind of promise, in the White House rose garden, from Xi Jinping to Barack Obama for not militarizing the South China sea? We have to be prepared for the opposite of the promise.

US basically tells Taiwan screw you, fight for yourself.

So now we know the reason Taiwan approached Australia and not America lead by demented Joe. Still what does AUKUS mean, if Australia back Taiwan and Biden chickens out?

Or is Biden going to call the Australian PM and demand he stand down? Is that how Biden is going to resolve it?

Biden is giving anything to China just for protecting his son from overwhelm sex record in his laptop he did in China.

Biden will not give anything to China to protect his son. If a threat of China releasing anything is perceived, team Biden will take us to war to try and prevent it and America's leadership class will back this policy 100%. Perhaps going to war to protect Taiwan may have some utility. Going to war to protect Hunter does not.
