Joseph Biden has confirmed the readiness of the US to go to war with China in the event of its attempt to regain control of Taiwan by force. In other words,
1/

the U.S. confirms its military guarantees to the Taipei regime twice in less than a year (the first time immediately after the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan).
2/

Interestingly, Washington has not given such guarantees to Ukraine, which has been recognised as an independent state. But they are given to Taiwan, which the US itself considers part of China and does not recognise its sovereignty. At first glance this appears
3/

to be a kind of paradox.

But no, there is logic in such decisions. The United States simply views the Pacific Ocean (or even the wider Indo-Pacific region) as the primary theatre of its new geopolitical confrontation. Here, concessions to China,
4/

which is the main rival of the United States, are impossible in principle.

The European dimension, on the other hand, is of secondary importance. Therefore, here guarantees to Ukraine can be denied. On the contrary, its territory
5/

can be used for a proxy war with another competitor - Russia. At the same time solving the problem of weakening the ally-rival - the EU. No one has cancelled the task of reindustrialization of the U.S. at the expense of deindustrialization of the EU.

We can say this: The loss of Taiwan and China's breakthrough into the ocean is perceived by the U.S. as a critical threat. As well as any strengthening of China's position in the Pacific area (hence the nervous reaction to China's attempts to obtain military bases in
7/

the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Kiribati).

As for Ukraine, its loss as an ally does not hurt American interests as much. Therefore, the US is deliberately sacrificing its ally without providing guarantees. Taiwan, on the other hand, is a different story.
