Bi-partisans in Congress warn Chicoms about invading Taiwan

 DC Daily Journal:

Both parties in Congress are fed up with Biden. He’s being taken to task.

Because the U.S. Senate has made an announcement to hold Joe Biden’s feet to the fire.

Democrats and Republicans in Congress don’t often agree on much these days. It’s no secret that partisanship in Washington, D.C. is more potent than it’s ever been in modern American history.

When they do come together on a bipartisan move, it can be interesting to see what’s bringing the two major parties together.

Recently, U.S. Senators from the Democrat and Republican party came together to finally set the record straight on an issue that Joe Biden refuses to address at all.

The issue? China potentially invading Taiwan and what the United States would do if that were to materialize.

Over the past year, the Biden administration has been giving mixed signals about what they would do if China grew emboldened enough to actually invade Taiwan and try to lay claim to the region.

Now a group of U.S. Senators are trying to make it clear that the U.S. would have very serious consequences for the Chinese Communist Party if they ended up trying to invade Taiwan.

On Tuesday, a group of senators from both parties in the U.S. submitted a measure that would end a U.S.-PRC bilateral tax pact in the event that The People’s Republic of China (PRC) attacked Taiwan.

Taiwan has been legally and politically separate from the Communist Party-led government on the mainland since 1949, but the PRC, a trade source of the U.S. and a geopolitical opponent, has long asserted sovereignty over the island and challenged Taiwan’s government’s authority.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who is running to replace Mitch McConnell as the leader of the GOP in the upper chamber of Congress, told reporters that “the United States must make it crystal clear the Chinese Communist Party will face dire consequences if it moves to invade Taiwan.” Cornyn is also the bill’s chief sponsor.

I get the impression that Joe Biden is not willing to make it clear what the response of the US would be if the Chicoms invaded Taiwan.  Taiwan has not exhibited any threat to mainland China recently.  What kind of defense Taiwan has at this point is kind of murky as is the response the Biden administration would take if it is invaded.
