Biden’s dangerous blunder about Taiwan and the White House struggling to cover it up

According to IRNA, Biden, who is in Tokyo, told a joint news conference in response to a reporter’s question from him that “for certain reasons you are not willing to intervene militarily in the Ukraine conflict … Do you want to “Military defense of Taiwan if you get to this point?” He replied bluntly: “Yes.”

“So you’ll do it,” the reporter told Biden to be sure. “This is a commitment we have made,” said the US president, who did not seem to be focused enough to answer the questions.

At the same time as Biden’s blunder, CNN, which covered the press conference live and subtitled some of Biden’s keynote addresses, made a blunder in one of its subtitles, quoting Biden: “The United States is willing to intervene. “It is a military to prevent China from occupying Ukraine.”

Immediately after Biden’s press conference, a White House official to cover Biden’s blunder, in an interview with Reuters, without naming his name, explained: “Biden’s statement that the United States will take military action to defend Taiwan means It is not a change in American policy. As President Biden said in part, US policy toward China has not changed.

Biden’s remarks today about US military intervention in Taiwan’s defense were widely reported on international media and social media.

Biden’s remarks about Taiwan are expected to provoke a sharp reaction from the Chinese.
