BEIJING (AFP) - The United States is "playing with fire," the Chinese State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office said Monday (May 23), after President Joe Biden vowed to defend the self-ruled island in the event Beijing attempts to take control, state media reported.
The United States is "using the 'Taiwan card' to contain China, and will itself get burned," said Zhu Fenglian, a spokeswoman for the office.
The remarks by Biden earlier in the day were his strongest to date on the issue of Taiwan and come amid rising tensions over China's growing economic and military power.
State outlet Xinhua said Zhu "urged the United States to stop any remarks or actions" that violate previously established principles between the two countries.
Asked Monday if Washington was willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan, Biden replied: "Yes." "That's the commitment we made," he said.
The US president spoke in Tokyo where he is meeting with Japan's prime minister ahead of a regional summit Tuesday.
Washington and allies like Japan have framed a tough response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a warning to others, especially China, against unilateral military action.
China's Taiwan Affairs Office falls under its State Council, which is often described as the country's cabinet

War is not good ooo.

Biden is a weak president. Very soon, the US will loss her status as the world power, owning to Biden's weakling and cowardice.

China can threaten the US and the world because D.J. Trump is no longer on seat. Would not have dared with president Trump in the white house. They see the floppy sleepy Joe Nothing as no threat to their expansion ambition.

you are mistaken. It will take divine power for America to lose her world power status, they have gone too far ahead of everybody. Also, the American presidency isn't just by a single individual, Biden is just the head and when he stops representing American interests, he will be shown the way out.

You call maturity for cowardness. If it was the bush era, The USA would be getting their nuclear war heads ready facing and facing Russia.

China will nuke US from the space

China will nuke US from the space

some of you are jokers. Before china dreamt of making nukes, America has been making them, infact they are the only country in the world ever to have used nukes in warfare. America has never relented in developing more advanced nukes. The thinking of some of u on nairaland is that only china, Russia and North korea have nukes because they publicise their tests and use them for propaganda but you are all wrong. stop this unnecessary joke.

forgive most of these kids. Most don't know u s developed d first bomb and used two of them in 1945 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The whole world wasn't aware of the process in Manhattan. In fact, the 3rd bomb was about to be used when Japan surrendered. Both aircrafts used are in d museum today, sane with the unused 3rd bomb. Where the u.s was in 1945, their rivals aren't there even ad at today

why didn't Bush got his nuclear war heads ready facing Russia in 2008 when Russia invaded Georgia, Georgia loses control of parts of Abkhazia and former South Ossetian AO.
Russia is a powerful country, America and his NATO allies can only attack the likes of Libya, Nigeria, Iraq and Palestine.
Know this and know peace, boy.

Dummy. Georgia did not lose control over those region after the 5 days war.

Those regions are still recognized by the majority of the world as part of Georgia. Only Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Nauru, and Syria recognizes those places as a country

Russia failed to achieve its aim in that war as well. It chickened out 5 days after NATO and US called for ceasefire.

Here comes the crazy country trying to destroy Asia after destroying The Middle East and Europe.

Almost all the household commodities and appliances are made in China.

Almost all the Conflicts, Division and Wars are made in USA.

Two powerful countries with different contributions to the world.

If I talk, they will say I'm anti-US when all I see is a so called ' declining world power' purposely creating smoke where there is no fire.

In order to bring the rest of the world to her knees.

Their fingers are on everything and everywhere
