US President Joe Biden vows to protect Taiwan if China attacks

"China is clearly developing the capability to attack at some point, but deciding to do so would be a political choice," US General Gen Mark Milley told the BBC Sunday.

In 2021, China's President Xi Jinping has said that "reunification" with Taiwan "must be fulfilled" and did not rule out the possibility of taking Taiwan by force.

Back in May 2022, US President Joe Biden said China was "flirting with danger" by flying its warplanes close to Taiwan and that the US would intervene militarily if China were to invade Taiwan.
