“The US is in the process of constantly clarifying its one-China policy, including some so-called Taiwan-related legislation passed in the Trump era. No matter what the White House says, Biden's remarks illustrate a US obsession with Taiwan on which his younger aides, including members of Congress, are not backing down... In some areas the adjustment may be positive, in others, however, it may be more negative. Biden is trying to convince himself of what to avoid, but at the same time he can't let go of this hyped-up obsession on certain issues. If this contradiction remains for a long term, there can only be one explanation: Biden wants to see a clash happen in the Taiwan Straits but doesn't want to take responsibility if that happens, which is extremely dangerous.”
