    Of course, Biden has also said that the US will defend Taiwan from Chinese attacks.

    Asserting Taiwan is independent before Taiwan does would just be causing trouble that would deteriorate relations with both sides.

      Yep, it’s extremely sensitive topic between the two country and if Taiwanese want proper independent, Taiwanese need to do it themselves democratically, not some old man from another side of the earth. If Biden were to say he support the independent, all de-escalation effort between US and China will go down the drain, and only gonna further escalate the tension between the two country.
