President Joe Biden said Monday that the United States would be willing to intervene militarily if China were to invade the self-governing island of Taiwan. Shortly afterwards, however, a White House official appeared to walk back the president’s remarks.

Bonvolu, Paco
阿門阿門.
when biden speaks he should be accompanied by a responsible adult, because every time he says something like this, someone from the government comes out to apologize for what biden says.
After the Uighur organs, Taiwanese organs will be on the market. 🤣😄😄😄
Everyone in that room was probably thinking, omg, this guy needs to be in a retirement home.
Yes go to war with China so they can blast up half your navy with missiles that costed dirt cheap to make so they can become number 1 even faster.
#JoeBiden is doing a great job…. at making #America look like a #thirdworld country.

After seeing how things have been handled as far as inflation goes. I'm done with Biden. The ppl have to continue to suffer financially but they can constantly send millions to aid other countries in aid funds..
Everything he’s committed to has nothing to do with the American people. This establishment honestly could care less. Till the vote
Send Hunter to lead the attack.
The Biden Administration continues to decimate America’s credibility on the world stage. The administration simply does not understand how to use America’s awesome power to deter our adversaries. That is why the stability of the world is in a freefall.
good, defend taiwan, the true china
Biden: "we will get in the middle of a civil war on the other side of the world with a nuclear power because….um wait we talkin about China or Russia? also what year is it?"
Not sure why people are scared of China. The US is the only superpower and China should follow our lead. If China wants war, we will give them war and destroy them with nukes if necessary.
I believe the military would run out of gas before getting to China.
Oh yeah Richard one more thing free Palestine Palestine must have their own nation free Palestine Jesus Christ is on the Palestinian side
There’s only one party in Washington and that’s the party of war democrat or republican Biden is a pop it just like Trump is a puppet it’s the military industrial complex that creating everything that’s happening in this world please explain that to the public
Richard measures I love watching you you’re a great honest to goodness webcast telling the truth but it ain’t Biden there’s only one party in Washington DC and that’s the party of war so please try to explain that that both sides of the Republican and Democrat are the ones behind this war
We are all going to die with Biden in office…..and die broke
He screwed up the withdrawal of Afghanistan,he said he said Putin has to step down and he’s sending troops to Ukraine and then they have to walk back and clean up all is comments . I’m sure our adversaries do not take This guy serious at all.
America will suffer because of his President.
We don't owe Taiwan anything why should we mess in their affairs. There can be 2 Chinas or 3 or 4 who care? We spent $100 trillions on Iraq war and $54 billion on Ukraine/Russia was. Vietnam War was also a war of shame on the US. We spent the money thrown from the sky to pay for the wars. We have no real money left to buy food for a lot of people. And please do not mention we have to get semiconductor from Taiwan. Intel has been building plants in many states. They will be ready soon enough.
The moment Biden said that it only took him just 1 day to go back on his word and have white house official panicking trying to cleanup the mess he made from a wrong statement.
For those who are against US involvement, please know what China is planning to do. Xi Jinping has openly announced his intention to invade Taiwan and conduct genocide. The Chinese Communists are openly advertising their genocide plan for 23 millions Taiwanese. They call it "Keep the Land, Not the People" (留岛不留人) plan. Even the Russians are not that cruel in Ukraine.
And what are you gonna do Joe? Send your useless missiles to Taiwan like you did to Ukraine? 🤣
Why is the US always creates an existential crisis all over the world just to force countries to comply to the US interest and US foreign policy?!?! Who is creating an open conflict and outright hostility on China and trying to stir up trouble for China?!?! What has China done to deserves such an unwarranted attention from a belligerent US to force China to comply to US interest and full submission to the US foreign policy!!! You are fabricating a false narrative of China invading Taiwan. How can China invade Taiwan when it is part of China? You are concocting false narrative to demonized China again and again. The resolution, passed on 25 October 1971, recognized the People's Republic of China (PRC) as "the only legitimate representative of China to the United Nations" and removed "the representatives of Taiwan from the United Nations. China do not need to seize Taiwan as China is prepare to maintain the status quo of one country two systems. The world do not need US ‘so-called’ the US own rules-based order unilaterally defined according to US interest and US foreign policy. The world needs peace, not war, it calls for justice not hegemony, it aspires for cooperation, not confrontation. This is what the vast majority of countries in the world are hoping for. There is only one system in the world, which is the international order with the United Nation at its core. There is only one order, which is the international order underpinned by international Law of the United Nation. There is one set of rules, which is the basic norms governing international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. You are putting a negative spins to the current situation. Taiwan is part of China. Taiwan continue to exist under the one country two systems and the status quo still apply in its current form. China has not been at war with other countries for more than 50 years. China has no interest or has anything to do with the US interest and US foreign policy. China has no interest in other countries political affairs or is interested in interfering with other countries interest. Other countries in the world outside the US and the West have no problems with China. China has no cultural or political or historical baggage to grind with the world. China do not colonized any countries in the world. Any countries that have been subjugated by the US and the Western colonial powers of Europe will not look too kindly at the US and the West. Asian countries will not support the US and the West sinister narrative and open hostility and vociferous propaganda against China. The US and the West is using fake sinister narrative to threatened China into subjugation and total compliance to the US interests and foreign policy. How ironic it is for the US to says big countries cannot bully a small countries. If the US can reflect on what it did to Cuba and Panama in 1960s, Granada in 1980s, Yugoslavia in 1990s. Afghanistan and Iraq at the start of this century and Syria and Libya afterwards. It is the US examples of big countries bullying small countries. The US is using its military might and western media to impose its hegemonic power for world dominance. Now the US is trying to force China to submit to its whim. Why do you think the US needs 790 military bases all around the world? Not to defend or protect itself from other countries from invading the US, but to attack and invade other countries to force compliance and total submission to its whim. The US invaded or fought in 84 of the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations and has been militarily involved with 191 of 193 to imposed its hegemonic power in the world. The US is the one and only country to detonate two Atomic bombs in Japan killing 200,000 civilians. The US wanted to nuked China in 1958 and Vietnam in 1968. Donald Trump wants to do the same in 2020. General Milley had to reassures China that he would prevent Donald Trump from nuking them. Simply chilling when the US is the real menace and culprit to mankind. The US and West refuses to live up with the Minsk agreements signed in 2014 to look into Russian concerned on NATO eastward expansion. It is a conflict by the US-led NATO and Russia. The US set the Ukrainians up for a free fall. Ukraine reduces into ruins and destruction due to US geopolitics and objective to encircled Russia destabilized and weaken Russia in order to maintains US hegemonic power. The US decision on NATO’s eastward expansion is directly linked to the Ukraine crisis. Other countries outside the US and the West are uncritical of Russia and are more sympathetic towards Russia. Other countries are not in alignment with the US and the West or by the western media propagating sinister narrative about the current situation and tension created by the US in the region. 35 + 5 UN countries has decided not to condemn Russia and they represent 53% of the world population. It is widely know that a lot of the countries who voted for the resolution did so under intense pressure from the US and the West. The Western powers are dismay how thin the support for them in the UN General Assembly. Asian countries knows the hypocrisy of the US and the West and the vociferous and fake narrative put up by the US and the western media to demonized Russia. No one hates Russia. Certainly not Indonesia, India or Asian countries. Certainly not Africa with 17 African countries abstained from the UN General Assembly vote condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Certainly not the Middle East. Certainly not South American countries. Russia only encircled Kyiv and the bulk of Ukraine army in eastern Ukraine and not inflicting damages to the infrastructure and civilians lives in Ukraine. Russia has vested interests and do not want to see Ukraine destroyed. That is why we do not see mass casualty incident. US invasion means total destruction in its invasion of Vietnam and Iraq. 2 million civilians died in Vietnam due to carpet bombings and napalm bombs in heavily populated area in Vietnam. 500,000 to 1 million people died in US invasion of Iraq through constant bombings daily. More countries look at the US not as a saviour but more like a devil. Look at what the US interference did to Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan? The US is accusing Russia of impending used of nuclear bomb. The US also has accuses Russia of imminent chemical weapons attack on Ukraine. The US use the same ruse on Syria claiming Syria used sarin gas on its own citizens which later found to be untruth. The US claimed Iraq harboured ISIS in Iraq. And Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and invaded Iraq during the false pretext. With western media churning out repeatedly and incessantly laying the groundwork that Russia is an evil country and to give their citizens the reason why that they are the respectable country who cares about human rights, they set into motion of imposing sanctions on Russia. That is one way to destroys a country in order to isolate it and to cripple its economy. Hypocrisy know no bounds.
GET HIM OUT OF THAT OFFICE. WE ARE DOOMED. HE ADMITTED YESTERDAY THE GAS PRICES ARE GOING UP ON PURPOSE TO STOP THE FOSSIL FUELS. HE SAID IT
Oh NBC/MSNBC why would you should this clip?
All this mess started with the Churchill agreement to comrade Stalin for spheres of influence eighty years ago.

Please President Biden you are a very old man and you are putting the life of millions of people and families at stakes: another Ukraine and you are provoking the Devil and America will be overwhelmed by two War fronts.
Instead of all your policies and help please welcome all these Taiwanese people and families who oppose China to settle in America..

China should be destroyed. Sooner the better.
They're not even attempting to hide the ear piece now. This man is a puppet
This man is a complete embarrassment.
UN = Useless Nations : )
USA (Strategic and Ambiguity) = United States of Afraid of PRC China : )
W. Germany, E. Germany, S. Korea, N. Korea, …, but the coward world simply has no ball to admit the fact of ROC (at Taiwan) and PRC (later but bigger) : )
Taiwan province is part of china before 1895 for hundreds years. Different china dynasty always have goverment set up there and chinese people lived there. Japan invade china and stolen Taiwan as his colony until WWII when Japan invasion was defeated by Republic of China in 1945. China was ruled by Chinese Nationalist Party between 1928- 1949. Japan surrendered and return the Taiwan province to China in 1945.. From 1945 and 1949, Chinese National Party and Chinese communist Party fight the civial war. Chinese National Party lost mainland china and carried whole nation's treasury with 2 million Chinese army and civilians fleeing to Taiwan province. The civil war in china has never ended. Taiwan is the name of a land. Nowadays the government of republic of china not only still control taiwan province but also couple islands belonging to Fujian Province（Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu）. 97.5% of People living in there are Chinese Han ethnic group whose ancestors came from mainland China during Song dynasty, Ming dynasty and Qing Dynasty of China and republic of china time. Taiwan belongs to china is no doubt. This is internal affairs in China and Chinese own business， not US 's business. China is not united, China's civil war hasn't ended. Identity card in Taiwan still called Taiwan a province of republic of china.
Nasty and Crazy MF B1den want WW3. Stop, Trump was the bad guy? Right?
I’d like to give a shout out to the 81 million who voted for this guy. Thanks for everything.
You can tell he's not all there. Somebody do the 25th admentdment, PLEASE; before we really do fight a war with China.
I am from Taiwan. Thank you for defending. Will be calling you when china invades
Hey joe you need to fight inflation in the usa that you caused
Bidens stupid
Please, I hope Kamala Harris doesn't get asked a question about Taiwan and China. It will be a repeat of Ukraine and Russia. “So, Ukraine is a country in Europe.”
“It exists next to another country called Russia,” “Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.” – Kamala Harris. Just replace Ukraine with Taiwan and Russian with China.
