Biden quietly reinstates US opposition to Taiwan independence in State Department policy document

(More inept, confused, and inconsistent governance by the current administration, and ultimately being “set straight” by the surprised and angry Beijing folks Biden is beholden to.
Will he or won’t he support Taiwan militarily if and when China invades the small island nation? I don’t think Biden even knows for sure. He’s trying to give himself wiggle room that will likely set up another foreign policy failure.)

In a U.S.-Taiwan relations fact sheet updated May 28, the department reinstated the line “we do not support Taiwan independence.” The line had appeared in a prior version of the document dated Aug. 31, 2018, but was removed in a May 5, 2022 update….
China was angered by the State Department’s removal of the line opposing Taiwan independence. In a May 10 press conference, China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian accused the U.S. of “political manipulation” and attempting to “change the status quo” by deleting the line, which it described as “a trick to obscure and hollow out the one-China principle.”
Days before Blinken’s speech and the updated fact sheet, President Joe Biden had told reporters that the U.S. would be willing to defend Taiwan against a Chinese invasion.

oh and one more thing: Biden "quitetly" (does anything at all) translated:

The "news media" decidedly chose to NOT report on it"

It will be the least violent "invasion" we have ever seen and not much will change afterwards.
