The president <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/23\/rep-mccaul-praises-biden-declaration-taiwan-china\/\">said<\/a> \u201cyes,\u201d noting that while the U.S. agrees with the \u201cOne China\u201d policy, an invasion into Taiwan \u201cis [not] appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s remarks <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/23\/joe-biden-us-willing-involved-militarily-china-invade-taiwan\/\">prompted<\/a> a quick walk back from the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the President said, our policy has not changed,\u201d a White House official said afterwards. \u201cHe reiterated our One China policy and our commitment to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. He also reiterated our commitment under the Taiwan Relations Act to provide Taiwan with the military means to defend itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One day later, Biden was again pressed on Taiwan at the tail end of a Quad Fellowship event. The president, asked whether the policy of strategic ambiguity towards Taiwan was dead, said, \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked to elaborate given his Monday remarks, Biden said \u201cno\u201d again, according to a pool report.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7435474\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7435474\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">U.S. President Joe Biden and Australia\u2019s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hold a bilateral meeting alongside the Quad Summit at Kantei Palace in Tokyo, Japan, May 24, 2022.
