Biden says US would defend Taiwan militarily

President Joe Biden raises eyebrows in Tokyo by delivering a stern warning to China. Asked if he's prepared to defend Taiwan militarily, he answered, "Yes. That's a commitment we made. We agree with the one-China policy. We signed onto it, and all the attendant agreements immediate from there. But the idea that it can be taken by force is just not appropriate." The President didn't spell out just what military involvement might mean, and the White House insists his answer doesn't alter American policy. But it does rip up the careful script Presidents normally follow on the Taiwan issue. Our coverage begins with CNN's Jeremy Diamond in Tokyo.
