Biden to brace for Korea-like loss as US handed dire Taiwan warning

China expert Dr Wang Wen has warned the US policy towards Taiwan under Joe Biden is currently “stepping on” a number of Beijing’s “red lines.” He predicted Mr Biden’s stance on Taiwan to lead the US to a Korean war-style crisis with China. Dr Wen told BBC Newsnight: “I think in the past two years that Biden has taken more actions on the Taiwan issue than any other US president.”For example, Biden sold more weapons to Taiwan, mentioned at least three times that the US would defend Taiwan, and condoned more US officials to visit Taiwan.”I think this is stepping again and again on the red line of Taiwan issues, and the Chinese mainland is doing its best to resolve the reunification issues peacefully.”But the problem is if the US continue to be so provocative, the US would eventually become the loser again, just like the Korea battlefield in 1953, I think.”READ MORE: Ukraine hits jackpot as ‘crate after crate’ of ammunition found after Russia flees Kherson Taiwan Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies’ Dr Wang Wen in warning to Joe Biden (Image: BBC) Joe Biden held highly-anticipated talks with the Chinese leader on Monday (Image: Sky News)The US President held highly-anticipated talks with the Chinese leader on Monday, in which Mr Biden objected to Beijing’s “coercive and increasingly aggressive actions” towards Taiwan.Mr Biden later told a press conference that when it comes to China, the US would ‘compete vigorously, but I’m not looking for conflict.’He added: ‘I absolutely believe there need not be a new Cold War’ between America and the rising Asian power.President Biden reiterated US support for its longstanding ‘One China’ policy, which recognizes the government in Beijing – while allowing for informal American relations and defence ties with Taipei, and ‘strategic ambiguity’ over whether the U.S. would respond militarily if the island were attacked. He also said that despite China’s recent saber rattling, he does not believe “there’s any imminent attempt on the part of China to invade Taiwan.’President Xi, according to the Chinese government’s account of the meeting, ‘stressed that the Taiwan question is at the very core of China’s core interests, the bedrock of the political foundation of China-US relations, and the first red line that must not be crossed in China-US relations.’During the summit between the superpower, President Biden stressed the need for “mutual cooperation.”Mr Biden said: ‘As the leaders of our two nations, we share responsibility, in my view, to show that China and the United States can manage our differences, prevent competition from becoming anything ever near conflict, and to find ways to work together on urgent global issues that require our mutual cooperation.DON’T MISS:Russia gives Iran seized British weapons [INSIGHT]Sean Penn hands over Oscar to Zelensky as Ukraine war rages on [ANALYSIS]UK to send fighter jets and Chinooks to Russia’s doorstep [VIDEO] China’s military power (Image: EXPRESS)President Xi called on Biden to ‘chart the right course” and ‘elevate the relationship’ between China and the US.He said he wanted a ‘candid and in-depth exchange of views.”Relations between the two powers have grown more strained under successive American administrations, with economic, trade, human rights and security differences at the fore.
