President Joe Biden raises eyebrows in Tokyo by delivering a stern warning to China. Asked if he's prepared to defend Taiwan militarily, he answered, "Yes. That's a commitment we made. We agree with the one-China policy. We signed onto it, and all the attendant agreements immediate from there. But the idea that it can be taken by force is just not appropriate."
