Biden reaffirms US will defend Japan, including its two islands claimed by China
President Joe Biden spoke with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and reaffirmed America’s guarantee to defend Japan’s territory, including the two Senkaku islands in East China Sea, which China calls as Diaoyu and claims as its own. This alleviates some of the worries among the US’s Asian allies after President Donald Trump pulled back from multilateral ties under his ’America First’ agenda.
Good. Hopefully, Biden can keep showing he isn't a shill for China. Actions speak louder than words.
So why isn't Japan defending Japan, perhaps with a western alliance supporting them?
Well done sir. I'm legitimately happy about Biden growing a pair against chinese interests for a change. I just hope it's not his weak attempts to try and build a case against corruption charges.
Well that is good news. Biden will bend over to Xi the Pooh but even he can't overtly reneg on agreements with Japan and Taiwan. Hopefully the high levels of anti-China sentiment in the country will tie his hands.
Yes, and Obama promised use of chemical weapons was a red line crossed by Assad, and then promptly poceeded to do absolutely nothing about it. I'll believe Sleepy Joe's promises when it's time to put his money where his mouth is.
I support this... Japan has been a great ally (better than 99% of Europe).. its amazing what 2 atomic bombs can do
Biden promises to protect Japan. Tells the people that Big Ben will never fall into China's hands.
Supposedly they call Biden China's dog, but when he does something about it, is silent
