[SPECIAL JANUARY PROMOTION: Spend $50+ In The FPM Store And Receive A Free Copy Of “Final Battle” By David Horowitz.]
On Saturday morning, Biden shuffled into a media scrum on the South Lawn to offer a few remarks before heading to Camp David for a weekend vacation after his Carribean vacation.
8,000 miles away voters in the Republic of China, also known as Taiwan, had just elected President ‘William’ Lai who had promised to preserve the nation’s independence from its greedy Communist superpower neighbor.
“Mr. President, do you have a reaction to the Taiwan election?” a reporter asked.
“We do not support independence,” Biden mumbled.
He did not congratulate Taiwan’s new president-elect because that would offend China.
In December, Chinese Communist dictator Xi Jinping told Biden at a San Francisco summit that the ChiComs were preparing to take Taiwan, but did not have an exact timetable yet. During the summit, China demanded that Biden issue a statement in favor of “peaceful reunification” and against the continuation of Taiwanese independence from the Communist dictatorship.
Biden has given Xi half of what he wanted. The other half is being decided behind the scenes.
Taiwan is waiting on a backlog of $19 billion in weapons from sales mostly made during the Trump administration. Those weapons can make the difference between a Chinese invasion and peace. But the Biden administration has continued delaying the delivery of those weapons.
In 2019, the Trump administration approved a $2.2 billion sale of M1A2 tanks. Those tanks were supposed to have been delivered in 2022, but the Biden administration instead diverted them to Ukraine. Unlike Taiwan, Ukraine wasn’t paying for the tanks, but went to the front of the line anyway because the Biden administration saw it as a bigger priority than taking on China.
After being denied the right to buy F-22 and F-35 jets, Taiwan was allowed to buy $8 billion worth of F-16 jets. Those were supposed to be delivered in 2023, they’ve since slipped to 2024. The jets, inadequate as they are, are crucial at a time when Communist China has been conducting non-stop penetrations into the Republic of China’s airspace to wear down its aircraft.
A $2 billion deal for 400 Harpoon anti ship missiles, some of the most crucial defensive weapons the Republic of China needs, was signed in 2020 with delivery scheduled for 2029.
The weapons orders were supposed to deter a Chinese Communist invasion, but the delays have instead made it more likely. Xi’s warning to Biden reflects the window before weapons deliveries are likely to occur and the outcome of the upcoming American presidential election.
Beijing is most likely to strike when Taiwan and America are at their most vulnerable.
Meanwhile the People’s Republic of China has been stirring up trouble from Ukraine to Gaza to the Red Sea in coordination with partners like Russia and Iran. Beijing is betting that the more demand there is for American weapons and forces around the world, the less likely we will be able to either supply the Taiwanese Republic of China or do anything to defend it from the PRC.
While Biden implicitly condemned the new president, the administration sent an unofficial delegation of two retired officials, Stephen Hadley, Bush’s NSA advisor, and James Steinberg, a former Deputy Secretary of State, to congratulate Taiwan’s new president and warn him to maintain the status quo and avoid any declarations of independence that might annoy Xi.
“The US would stand with its friend,” Hadley told Taiwan’s new leaders. It just won’t open an embassy, receive a delegation or send an official delegation to its “friend”.
Ever since the Nixon administration, the United States accepted China’s position on Taiwan.
Communist China claims that there will be peace as long as everyone goes along with its claim to Taiwan. When America adopted the “One China” position, we began pretending that a longtime ally with its own government, elections and military doesn’t exist anymore even while a good deal of our computer industry depends on its products and we aid in its defense.
American administrations have accepted the myth that the situation will remain peaceful unless Taiwan’s leaders upset China by asserting their political existence and independence. Expelled from the UN, Taiwan has also lost the vast majority of its allies and international recognition.
Rather than reversing the trend, the Biden administration focuses on an impossible status quo.
Xi made it clear to Biden during their meeting in San Francisco that the ChiCom regime intends to take Taiwan. The only question is when it will do it and how it intends to make it happen. Xi, like other Communist China dictators, claimed that Taiwan’s diplomatic moves and outside support would be the trigger for any invasion. This is the same false claim that the Communist Chinese regime has been spreading for generations in order to isolate Taiwan, weaken its nationalistic movements and leave it ripe for either an invasion or a takeover.
The ChiCims would prefer to avoid a military confrontation and will tell any lie to do it.
Beijing promised that Hong Kong would retain its democratic elections and its civil rights. Then it began tightening the noose and when protests broke out in response, it violated all of its promises and ended the lie of “One Country, Two Systems” that had been at the center of its sales pitch for reunification not only for Hong Kong, but also Taiwan.
There is no such thing as “One Country, Two Systems”. One China means Communism.
Or as Xi recently put it in his message to the dictatorship’s security apparatus, to “uphold the absolute leadership” of the Communist Party. Xi would like to extend that “absolute leadership” and his own personal empire to the Republic of China as he already extended it to Hong Kong.
The plot is the same in Hong Kong, Taiwan or America. In all three places Beijing has used its commercial power to corrupt elites and oligarchs, to make them dependent on it for their wealth and to condition them to promote kowtowing to the Communist Party over their own interests.
Mass migration from China has sped along the corruption of Taiwan as well as western nations.
The Communist regime has spent generations on its program to subvert not only Taiwan, but the United States of America. Many of the pro-Hamas rioters rampaging around New York City are actually run out of China. And China’s tentacles have extended into America’s political establishment entangling everyone from Joe Biden’s son to George W. Bush’s brother.
In the Red Sea, vessels that want to avoid Iranian-backed Houthi attacks now flag themselves as “All Chinese”. China expects its future grain exports from Ukraine to come through Russia. And it intends to take over Taiwan in one way or another. How soon it will act is up to Biden.
Biden has shown weakness and he has betrayed American allies while failing to stand up to our enemies. That’s why our foes are emboldened and our allies are fighting for their lives.
And after every disaster, Biden continues doubling down on the same disastrous policies.
This isn’t incompetence: it’s treason.
J.J. Sefton says
Treason is a capital offense. And Joey’s betrayal of Taiwan is merely one count among many others. Unfortunately, the government that he was installed to be the titular head is as corrupt as he is.
Redress and justice will have to come from some other place and at some other time, Assuming we as a nation survive this occupation.
Ron Kelmell says
Biden’s arbitrary non enforcement of immigration law is treason, a betrayal of the oath of the office of the president. Nothing will happen in consequence.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
IF the Dems/leftists repeat in November of 2024 what they did in November of 2016, their momentum will not allow a correction after that offense.
Joe Esposito says
The people of Taiwan will do what the North Vietnamese did to China, France and the United States.
They will fight with all their heart and soul to stop a takeover of their country.
Biden and Xi are too full of themselves to understand peoples passion and desires when it comes to their beliefs.
cedar9 says
Chicoms will do to Taiwan just as they did to Hong Kong. Little bit here little bit there and bingo… a new Taiwanese power controlled by Mao II
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Iow, the same pattern as the Dems/leftists worked here.
RAM says
Ho Chi Minh was a ruthless killer.
Chutzpan says
Treasonous Joe Is beholden to the CCP – primarily for helping tiger the 2020 elections via CCP’s financial stake in the suspect Dominion voting machines., plus years of wallet-stuffing bribes, etc.
BIG BOSS CCP just interviewed Newsom for the job of President – in order to extract more treasonous pro-China policies from senile Joe and/or as a backup if Biden fails at the polls.
Dictator Xi is the new power broker of the Dems, even more influential than Soros.
That is why Aystin went AWOL without ang worries – China I’d now in charge, and America’s security and future is now being outsourced to the tyrant the Demo-totalitarians fear and now down to the most.
Of course Beholden Biden will do whatever Xi demands. Call him TRAITOR JOE (no, not the food store)…
Semaphore says
What did Will Rogers say about us having the best politicians money could buy? Chicom money has swirled around the Biden family like the inside of a toilet bowl for decades. And Biden serves his masters well.
Mo de Profit says
Their money also gets donated to the UN which is why they are so powerful and Taiwan is not allowed membership.
Having said that they are probably benefiting enormously from being out of the UN, I wish we were out.
Kasandra says
Or is afraid of what they are threatening to reveal if he doesn’t play ball.

Apologies to the Doobie Bros.
Steve says
Dementia Joe is following in the footsteps of fellow antisemite and tragicomically inept president Peanut Dhimmi Carter, “Mr. Human Rights”, who severed diplomatic relations with Taiwan and cancelled a mutual defense treaty, and Slick Willy, who allowed Communist China into the World Trade Organization.
Steve Chavez says
THE WORLD IS BLACKMAILING AMERICA!
China knows that when they do attack, the United States wouldn’t dare break relations and trade with them since we are NOW TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THEM!
(My son just left China, third visit, and my friends, they are LIGHT YEARS ahead of us. New buildings in a city built for EXPORTS. Twenty-story apartment building built in ONE DAY, stacked like Legos. Three-Five days to build hospitals during Covid. Bridges are works of art. Lots of wealth, billionaires. Fancy cars, seems like all new cars on the roads. Bullet Trains, 300 kilometers an hour. GUESS WHAT…. WE’RE PAYING FOR THAT!)
NOW ADD OPEC COUNTRIES…. modern cities, the tallest buildings in the world. Artificial Islands. OIL WEALTH…. GUESS WHAT…. WE’RE PAYING FOR THAT and to countries that will stab us in the back.——IRAN’S OIL BLACKMAIL added to their awakening their Sleeper Cells around the World, plenty here too, to set the world on fire. NOW CLOSE TO HAVING NUKES? Are they buying them, given them, that they also want our destruction so they can completely take over the world? SO, we let them do what they want… “Don’t get them mad.” Now Biden is rewarding them and trading hostages for BILLIONS that the Mullah’s are then using to fund their terrorist proxies, now they’re shooting missiles to stop trade in the Red Sea? THEY’LL DO THE SAME AT THEIR STRAITS OF HORMUZ! “Don’t get them mad!” If they close that, the West will fall so we let them do what they want. DON’T WORRY THOUGH, because our Strategic Petroleum Reserve will save us till we get all of Biden’s mothballed oil rigs up and running. I would say, Drill Here, Drill Now, but that was the Orange Man’s slogan and we can’t do that.
Bob Meyer says
Welcome to the Chinese version of Potemkin Villages. Chinese incompetence and corruption render Xi’s ambitions to be fantasies of the highest order.
See the “China Show” on you tube.
Here’s the latest episode (number 194)
Their rocket fuel tanks were filled with water! They’re aware of the problems but considering the corruption it’s unlikely that the cure will be better than the disease.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Excellent points about China being much more modernized than the US. We were shocked back 20 years ago to discover their progress. Almost everyone had at least two cell phones. Quite a bit of wealth is seen all over. We should not forget they graduate 7 or 8 times the number of engineers we do annually. Now that our colleges are so woke, it may be higher. One notable feature was the lack of crime on the big city streets. There is no problem visiting shops and restaurants evenings or even late at night. Their justice system is quick. There are problems there, for sure. But overall they have passed much of the West.
Steve Chavez says
PART TWO:
EXPORT OF OUR $$$ to China, SE Asia, Middle East, and citizens/non-citizens sending billions to their countries instead of spending it here, mostly made by cash payments, no taxes… again no taxes that pay for our infrastucture AND THEIR FREEBIES!
MY IDEA: TO H… WITH ALL OF THEM and bring factories to OUR HEMISPHERE. HELP our side of the World where many people live in shacks, no electricity, plumbing, etc… and no future. YES, BUY OIL and hopefully with the wealth, the people elect sanity over Communists! (Notice that all of the Communists arrest all political opponents “as a threat to our Democracy.” Sounds like our Democrats who have installed and supported these Communists for decades.)
HELP THE AMERICAS! STOP FUNDING OUR ENEMIES!
notebeat says
Taiwan, Israel…tiny little countries to suddenly have to shoulder freedom against such a hostile world.
This is what the world looks like without America. Ever since Jan 6, America has been dictated to by traitors, all beginning to let their masks slip for the whole world to see. They are finally making their move and their weapons are choas and destruction.
I believe 2024 will be a defining year for the future of freedom in this world.
Mo de Profit says
Both pilloried by the UN, coincidence?
notebeat says
Coincidence? Absolutely not! The UN should be removed from American soil completely. Shut off their utilities like they did our allies in Afghanistan and kick them out! They are enemies of freedom. Make them go to the emirate of Qatar, they like them so much.
internalexile says
In her book, Marjorie Taylor Greene describes how astonished she was/is to learn about the level of corruption in the Biden family and administration, as evidenced in the recent documents that the House committees have finally gotten access to. It’s as if we really have become the proverbial third world country, just one with more money and power.
Semaphore says
Don’t hold your breath waiting for justice in any of these matters.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
The Biden corruption has turned blatant and in our faces. Garland needs to be arrested for Dereliction of Duty and violation of Oath of Office. Possibly after January 20, 2025 if all goes well.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Biden is Chinas Puppet they just pull his strings and he dances for them
RAM says
Biden doesn’t exactly support US independence either.
Ugly Sid says
Can we assume post-Presidency Joe will supplement his income pitching the advantages of banking by direct deposit?
Does the Biden methodology compare well with the La Cosa Nostra policy of “getting rich in the dark”?
James E Sparks says
Why would Joe support their Freedom and the Freedom of people there if he doesn’t support it in the USA? He was okay being inaugurated dictator in January 2021
Walter Sieruk says
Those Communist tyrants of mainland China .really have nothing, at all, worry about regarding any statements that had said about defending Taiwan by Joe Biden.
The reason why this is so is because Biden is all talk . He speaks empty meaningless words and makes false promises with lying words.
Those words Biden said about keeping “the commitment we made” have no value or worth, he is a liar.
Biden lies again and again, he’s .pathological liar.
Especially in this situation, with him being a socialist and with his Marxist VP Kamala Harris to influence him, for she is the stronger personality of the Biden/Harris administration, there is no way Biden would keep America’s commitment to defend Taiwan in any way if Red China invades that nation.
Walter Sieruk says
For Xi Jinping knows that Biden is very weak and feeble-minded and he even likes Socialism and will be very easily manipulated to be the “useful idiot.” Jinping will able to use Biden to have do anything to wants him to do. In other words, Biden is his stooge and tool because he malleable, for old Joe very cognitively challenged since is an empty-headed mindless idiot.
For example, Joe Biden in a speech he declared Bogus “President” “Imagine had the tobacco industry been immune to prostitute being sued, come on.”
Walter Sieruk says
When Joe Biden had said that he was keeping and honoring “the commitment we made” to defend Taiwan are empty words.
What Biden says means nothing for he keep his word, for he a liar and he has no honor.
Biden speaks false lying and empty words.
Especially in this specific case, for Biden has already accepted so many bribes from Communist China and he’s so deep into that, of bribe taking this corruption.
Bribe taking, those Communist tyrants have so much on him that that he doesn’t want the American people to discover that Biden will be totally useless to aid Taiwan if or when Communist China attacks and invades that Island nation.
In addition , Biden’s bribe taking scandal there’s other information that Biden doesn’t want be become known to the American public ,as in how Communist China along with Iran and Venezuela aid Biden in that 2020 November nation election fraud and hoax.
For Joe Biden greatly fears that it could become in America nationwide known he’s not a real, genuine US President.
Therefore, the Communist heads of Red China really have nothing to worry about concerning Biden having America keep her commitment to defend Taiwan if Mainland China launches an invasion.
Walter Sieruk says
The ancient Greek Philosopher, Plato, did have a good valid point when he had written, “The measure of a man is what he does with power.”
When applying that wise statement to Joe Biden, his “measure” is more than lacking, it’s outright terrible.
For Biden is the obedient “lap dog” and “useful idiot’ as was tool and stooges of the Communist President of China, Xi Jinping. Therefore, Biden will give only “lip service” in condemning Communist China is it invaded Taiwan but will do absolutely nothing, at all, to stop it or aid Taiwan.
Likewise, Biden is also the faithful supporting servant the close ally of Red China .Which is that anti-America “mullah regime” of Iran. That hates the United States that it sets up billboards in Tehran that read “Death to America” and calls the US “The great Satan.”
Surely, the “measure” of Joe Biden is so very horrendously evil that he is an affront to the Office of the Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution as well as a calamity for America and a disaster for the American people.
Walter Sieruk says
Pseudo “president” Joe Biden will completely refuse to do anything many terrible things that Red China engages in, as in threats towards Taiwan ,expect speak empty words. Biden absolutely will nothing even if he is able to. For Biden is the “lapdog” stooge tool and “useful idiot of Xi Jinping
For a number of sinister reasons, such as he admires the socialism / Communist ideology of mainland China.
Biden must also like the tyrannical oppressor of Communist China against its citizens since he absolutely is copying Red China’s imprisonment system of that regime’s tyrant Xi Jinping who has political prisoners who are held in cruel cells and treated terrible and denied their basis human rights.
For that Joe Biden has political prisoners from January 6, 2021, who are held in cruel cells and treated terrible and denied their basic human rights.
Another sinister reason that Biden will do nothing to help victims of Red China is because he is so horribly corrupt that he willingly accepts bribes from Xi Jinping and other high ranking members of the ruling Communist party of China.
About that last point, the Bible reads “The wicked accept bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice.”

Funny how there is literally no technology we cannot give to China …
… in fact … we insist that we must pay China to take our technology and our jobs …
… and apologize to them because ordinary Americans do not approve of their ATHEIST slave plantation …
… but we cannot give Taiwan nukes? … Why not? …
And never mind history or right and wrong …
… If China takes Taiwan (and actually that might not happen as the Chinese might trip over their own feet) …
… what will that mean for South Korea, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia? etc.
Next thing you know Xi will think the Philippines belongs to China …
Someone needs to kick the CCP the way the Deep State needs to be kicked …
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
After so many thefts of American defense secrets, over and over and over again, over decades. One begins to wonder – are our people deliberately allowing the steal?
How can China protect its secrets and we cannot protect ours’ over so many years?
Could it be deliberate?
danknight says
Could it be deliberate? …
… If I flip a coin … heads you win … tails I lose …
… and I flip heads again and again and again …
At some point the chance that it could be a fair coin becomes impossible …
As to American technology – military, proprietary, trade secrets, intellectual property … the Chinese have never lost a toss to my knowledge, and no Americans can win …
You and yours have a great year, Luz!
Larry Miller says
Just more evidence – not that any more is needed that Biden is a slave to the Chinese Communists, Just like so many other so-called “progressive” Democrats.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
The real irony is were China to be in charge, the weak-minded, morally corrupt politicians would find themselves in a labor camp.
