To my utter shock, Biden stated the other day that the US will defend Taiwan if attacked. Sadly, I'll believe it when I see it. Poor Taiwan.

The Biden administration quickly clarified that Biden misspoke, and that they would operate according to the Taiwan Relations Act which only allows the US to provide resources.
China's response to Biden's town hall:
.
“When it comes to issues related to China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and other core interests, there is no room for China to compromise or make concessions, and no one should underestimate the strong determination, firm will and strong ability of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” - Wang.
.
So it played out exactly like this meme suggested :(
@famousone I am fairly certain political correctness was the point of no return, but sending industry overseas for cheap goods, flat screen tvs, and clothes made by (basically) slave labor really didn't help any.
