Leaders of this informal alliance between the u.s., japan, australia, and india, will soon head into a working lunch and then one-on-one meetings after that. just a day earlier, the u.s. president launched a new partnership aimed at boosting trade ties with several asia-pacific countries, all part of a push to bolster u.s. alliances in the region and counter china s growing dominance. but for all the formal meetings and photo ops, it s what mr. biden said when he went offscript which is drawing in conflict militarily for obvious reasons. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? yes. you are? that s the commitment we made. just moments after that, the white house released a statement downplaying those comments, insisting u.s. policy on china and taiwan has not changed, but beijing is already pushing back, telling the u.s. not to meddle ....
Island, they do consider that island part of their territory. that s why they said something like you should never underestimate the resolve and capability of 1.4 billion why need people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. so, this is really a very familiar language, as we have heard over the years, but the real question, i think, on the minds of many people, likely chinese officials, but also a lot of observers, analysts, is what next? how many of these slips of the tongues or gaffes from the u.s. president would it take to convince the leadership here that there s a real u.s. policy shift, that the long-standing strategic ambiguity has been replaced by strategic clarity and how would that change the calculations of xi jinping and the communist leadership? because many have said, seems this will probably not deter them from invading taiwan. if anything, this may accelerate their planning and preparation, because as much as beijing hates the comparison between ukr ....
Than just a european issue, it s a global issue. so, i think that the president is kind of trying to wrap all of this together here on his final day in asia, talking to these leaders and trying to make clear that the global environment is in a different place now that russia has invaded ukraine, that the international norms have been breached and he wants to send a very explicit message to china that something similar could happen to them, this withering set of sanctions, this united response, if they were to move forward in taiwan. thank you for that. let s go to stephen, who is standing by in beijing. our beijing bureau chief. stephen, the quad was already seen by beijing as sort of an asia nato, if you like, so, throw in the comments about taiwan and we know they re not happy. reporter: that s right. the response has come quickly and forcefully, as you mentioned, not surprisingly, given taiwan is long considered the reddest of their so-called red lines, even though the ruling co ....
Our beijing correspondent stephen mcdonell has been following the story he gave me his assessment of this latest development. this seems to me to be yet another attempt by the government and the ioc playing along, to somehow put an end to this furore. now they ve chosen a media outlet, i don t know if they ve deliberately chosen someone who s not particularly across the issue, or why they chose that french media outlet, but they haven t asked her like, for example if she says, i wasn t accusing this former senior party figure of rape, of sexual assault , well, what were you accusing him of? that question was not asked. now this is crucial line in her original post, so i lljust read it out in chinese, she said of him, that he. speaks chinese. if you speak chinese, that could mean, you took me to your house and raped me. but it could also mean, depending on the translation, ....
