The US’ commitment to the security of the Indo-Pacific region is “stronger than ever,” US Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson said during a meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) in Taipei yesterday.

“I am in Taiwan ... to remind the world that our commitment and shared responsibility for a free and secure Indo-Pacific region remains stronger than ever,” said Johnson, who arrived on Sunday for a four-day visit and took part in Double Ten National Day celebrations in Taipei on Monday.

Taiwan will not rely on others for its defense, President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) said on Wednesday, while welcoming a US commitment to the nation’s security during what she called Chinese encroachment on its sovereignty.

Tsai’s remarks, pre-recorded and delivered to a US audience at a Washington forum, came after US President Joe Biden last month pledged to defend Taiwan in the event of any “unprecedented attack” by China.

US President Joe Biden yesterday vowed that US forces would defend Taiwan militarily in the event of a Chinese attack in his strongest statement to date on the issue.

Beijing is already “flirting with danger,” Biden said following talks with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo, in which the pair agreed to monitor Chinese naval activity and joint Chinese-Russian exercises.
