White House: US Stance on Taiwan Remains the Same

Steve Herman

   WHITE HOUSE - '¯The administration of President Joe Biden is brushing
   off a fresh warning from China that is calling for a change of policy
   toward Taiwan.

   China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, says Washington needs to roll back
   what he termed the Trump administration's "dangerous practice" of
   showing support for Taiwan -- adding Beijing has "no room for
   compromise."

   White House Press Secretary Jan Psaki, asked by VOA about the top
   diplomat's warning, said the United States will maintain its
   long-standing commitments to Taipei.

   "And we will continue to assist Taiwan in maintaining a sufficient
   self-defense capability. So, our position remains the same," Psaki
   said.

   Biden has said he seeks a more civil relationship with China, but he
   has not rescinded Trump's tough moves regarding technology, trade and
   human rights.
