You sick Indians stop insinuating that every world problem is because of China or Chinese leader. Your sick Indian Anti-China minds need to take psychotic drugs.

Calm down or you'll also get sick like Indians. Always copying

Weren't poor Ukrainians cheated by US big words instead?

Could be , Idunno.

It's not the first time he said so... sometime we don't know who is to listen to and how US chain of command works, should we listen to US president? State departemnt or US military generals? They always speak against each other.

White House, Clarifying Biden Remark, Says Taiwan Policy Hasn’t Changed

The president, asked if the U.S. would come to Taiwan’s defense if China attacked, had said: "Yes, we have a commitment to do that.”

US general defends 'secret' phone calls with China

Gen Mark Milley allegedly phoned Beijing to "reassure" them amid concern about President Trump.

US white house has cleared that Taiwan policy hasn't changed doesn't mean that US gov disagrees with Biden necessarily. Maybe it is indeed US policy always to intervene militarily in case of Taiwan crisis and it's just that US gov never intended to say that clearly in the public before, it just always says its Taiwan and China policies haven't changed all the time, but no one really knows what "Taiwan and China policies haven't changed" mean exactly.

China definitely needs fast at least 3000 nuclear warheads, many more nuclear ballistic submarines and missiles to deter US aggression on Taiwan and other issues at large. 300 plus nuclear warheads is just a token figure to US and US won't take it seriously. China just have to learn from Russia that no Mutual Assured Total Destruction of both USA and China by nuclear weapons means no peace and no sovereignty integrity for China.

In that case no problem, piece of cake

He will be gone in the next election and Trump will be back. Trump is a very war averse president, as long as his country is making good money he doesn't care.

I don't trust any Americans, they are all war mongers, Biden and Trump too. China has to be prepared for the ultimate nuclear war with US !

Yes, prepare the best you can for war but avoid war at all cost. A declining power may want a war as a last option to remain relevant. The US is not a country that can be fought or defeated militarily because of it's geographic location, it fights a lot of wars but never it's homeland gets affected. It needs to be economically defeated.

Always Copying what ? That's why you Indians are so sick that you think and denigrate Chinese are just copycats and steal tech from the West all the time as Yankees like to claim while you Indians are the most creative and inventive people in the world. As matter of fact, you Indians can't produce any products worth anything, be it copying or else.

This was Biden's doing. They got what they wanted in Afghanistan (dismantle Al-Qaeda Network; deal with Afghan Taliban), and then left Pakistan to fend for itself in the region. Elements that harm Pakistan continue to roam in Afghanistan unfortunately.

Even Imran Khan (a vocal critic of war in Afghanistan) was disgusted:

U.S. ‘really messed it up’ in Afghanistan, says Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan

In just over one month, the United States will have completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan after 20 years of war. But for those two decades, Afghanistan's eastern neighbor, Pakistan, stood accused by American and Afghan forces of supporting the Taliban. Judy Woodruff speaks with Pakistan's...

They played a dirty game.

They have their calculations.

Chinese troops abandoned their posts rather than engage in fighting and protect civilians, says US-based rights group

During four days of fighting between the rival forces, artillery rounds and gunfire hit two UN bases, killing two Chinese peacekeepers.

The Chinese troops subsequently abandoned their posts, leaving weapons and ammunition behind, the report said.

authoritarian regimes are on warpath in order to invade their neighbors.

As opposed to democratic countries which invade countries half a world away?

Taiwan is legally Chinese territory as recognized by the UN and nearly all countries including US. It's none of US business to intervene in solely Chinese internal matters. Ukraine and Taiwan are two totally different cases, period. Don't compare them together !

Bro,

Afghanistan is still unfinished business and a headache for Pakistan. ISIS-K, TTP, and BLA are active there. TTP and BLA have killed many Pakistani soldiers, and continue to do so. BLA is a threat to the Chinese in Pakistan as well. Afghan Taliban have their own mindset and interests in the end. The state is once again negotiating with TTP and a TTP commander was released recently. How is US affected by any of this? I suspect that Biden administration intentionally left Afghanistan in its current state - this allows US to renegotiate its terms of engagement for the region (if necessary). DG-ISI visited US recently - sufficient indicator.

Pakistan could not take much advantage of American intervention in Afghanistan to its benefit - to secure best possible outcome for itself. This is in part due to many Pakistani being emotional about the whole saga. Hamid Gul effect or something.

Americans did not run from the Middle East and Africa on the other hand. They fight till the end where they feel it is necessary.

Some Chinese friends are focused on "optics." My 2 cents, therefore.

United States President Joe Biden said on Monday that Washington is ready to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan in the event of invasion.

Biden Misspeaks on Taiwan, Says US Military Would Intervene

President Joe Biden said the US military would intervene to defend Taiwan in any attack from China, comments that appeared to break from the longstanding US policy of “strategic ambiguity” before they were walked back by White House officials.

I guess it is sealed now. China will not attack Taiwan
