US President Biden: No change to policy of strategic ambiguity on Taiwan
|When asked if there had been any change to the policy after remarks on Monday where he said that the US will get involved militarily to defend Taiwan, a self-governed island claimed by China, President Joe Biden said "No."
China’s Foreign Ministry warned the US not to underestimate its resolve on Taiwan following Biden’s comments a day before.
Market reaction
The renewed US-Sino geopolitical tensions over Taiwan are unlikely to bode well for the markets, adding to the tepid risk sentiment.
