Biden said he did not believe that China will try to take Taiwan by force, adding that the combined global response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine can serve as a deterrent. Shortly after the press conference, The Hill reports, the White House pointed out that the US position on Taiwan has not changed.

The Asian giant considers Taiwan an “inalienable” part of Chinese territory and an “internal affair”.
