last Saturday.

The US aircraft carrier Roosevelt has entered the South China Sea through the Basi Strait between Taiwan and the Philippines.

It’s been only three days since President Biden took office.

The US Navy said it was intended to demonstrate freedom of navigation on the high seas.

On the same day, eight Chinese bombers also entered Taiwan’s southwest air defense identification area.

Not only bombers, but also fighter jets and anti-submarine patrol aircraft, all operated together.

China continued armed demonstrations the next day by sending 15 bombers and fighters again.

The US State Department issued a warning statement to China for the first time since the inauguration of the Biden government.

He said not to scare Taiwan, saying that he will continue to support Taiwan in the future.

The decisive position of the United States has been announced since President Biden’s inauguration.

Taiwanese representative Xiao B. Kim was invited to attend the inauguration ceremony for the first time in 42 years after the breakup.

The entry of the aircraft carrier Roosevelt into the South China Sea also appears to be a check against China.

The Chinese government strongly opposed it.

China opposes Taiwan’s independence and urged the United States to stop intervening.

President Biden’s policy to restore the alliance is evident in the Taiwan issue.

The confrontation between the US and China is also rapidly becoming visible.
