US President Joe Biden had confirmed the United States would come to the defence of Taiwan if China were to invade the territory. He made the comments on the eve of the Quad summit in Tokyo, where Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has recently touched down. Mr Biden was asked whether the US would be willing to get its military involved to defend Taiwan during a press briefing on Monday, to which he responded: "Yes - it's a commitment we made". "We agree with the One-China policy, we signed onto it and all the attendant agreements made from there," he added. "But the idea that it could be taken by force, just taken by force, is just not - it's just not appropriate.” The White House has since released a statement confirming Mr Biden’s comments do not reflect a change in US policy.
