Joe Biden raises his voice against China as part of his Asia tour.
In a press conference with the Japanese prime minister, the US president said the United States would militarily defend Taiwan if Beijing invaded the self-governing island.
This obviously provoked an immediate reaction from the Chinese regime, which replied to Joe Biden that his determination to defend his sovereignty should not be underestimated.
