The United States, Australia and Japan have warned against China’s 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 reassured that so-called “strategic ambiguity” in US policy has not changed. Accordingly, the United States supports Taiwan, but deliberately opens up its reaction to China’s attack on Taiwan.
