The United States, Australia and Japan are warning against Chinese invasion

Tokyo, Bangkok, Berlin The world is watching the movement of Russian forces on the border with Ukraine. One source of conflict should not be overestimated in terms of its explosiveness: Taiwan. There is a risk of a direct confrontation between the leading powers, the United States and China.

Unlike Ukraine, where the U.S. president has rejected military involvement, the United States is openly prepared for anything: when asked recently if the United States would militarily defend the island state in the event of a Chinese attack, he replied: “Yes, we have a duty.”

The White House has promised that US policy of so-called “strategic ambiguity” will not change. Accordingly, the United States supports Taiwan, but deliberately opens up its reaction to China’s attack on Taiwan.
