After US President @POTUS said that US forces would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion, I talked to @lnachman32 and @FangYu_80168 about what these comments mean and the impact of them on Washington's policies towards #Taiwan: dw.com/en/biden-us-fo…
@FangYu_80168 said that US "strategic ambiguity is becoming more strategic and less ambiguous."
"This is a necessary adjustment, as China's stance on Taiwan is not becoming less ambiguous," he argued.
"This is a necessary adjustment, as China's stance on Taiwan is not becoming less ambiguous," he argued.
"I think this is the process of adjustment from strategic ambiguity to strategic clarity. While [Biden] said the US would defend Taiwan, he didn't specify how the US would defend Taiwan, which shows strategic ambiguity hasn't changed. It has always been like that."
@lnachman32 told DW that there were "disconnects" between Biden and the White House, where "the White House is acting in one way and Biden is speaking and acting in another."
"When it comes to time for action, it can lead to very different results than what Biden might be thinking he has the capacity to do," Nachman argued.
Other experts have also expressed their thoughts on Biden's latest comments on #Taiwan on Twitter, which I included in the more thorough piece for @dw_chinese: dw.com/zh/%E6%8B%9C%E…
