US President Joe Biden said that his country is "committed to defending Taiwan if it is attacked by China," this came in statements during an interview with CNN, Thursday evening.
Asked if the United States was prepared to defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack, Biden said, "Yes, we have an obligation to do so."
And about China's recent test of a hypersonic missile, Biden noted that "his country does not worry about whether they will become more powerful."

What we have to worry about is whether or not they will engage in activities that will put them in a situation where they might make serious mistakes," he explained.
He stressed that he does not want a cold war with China, saying that he "only wants to make China understand that his country will not back down."
Biden concluded his speech by saying, "We will not change any of our views."

Beijing does not recognize the independence of Taiwan, and considers it part of its territory, but the United States maintains informal relations with the Taiwan authorities.
The United States officially recognized the "People's Republic of China" in 1979, and transferred diplomatic relations from Taipei to Beijing, making Taiwan part of the main territory of China.
Relations between Beijing and Taipei have been tense since 1949, when forces led by the "National Party" took control of Taiwan by force, following its defeat in the civil war in China, and the inauguration of the "Chinese Republic" on the island.
