A warning to China & a reassurance to Taiwan --- I read this as a message by POTUS to signal China that -despite Biden’s decision to withdraw armed forces from Afghanistan- there is right now a lot more national security determination under a geopolitical perspective by the U.S. national security apparatus to defend Taiwan (from a potential military move by main land China to take back what the PCC considers still Chinese territory) and that Biden’s commitment toward U.S. allies under the NATO charter are -again- a high priority (leaving behind president Trump’s approach of relaxing U.S. commitments abroad).
