we made, President Joe Biden, via CNN.

defend itself, Unnamed White House Official, via CNN.

Biden clarified that the U.S. stance is to support One China, but that support does not extend to aggression from China.
We support the One China policy [...] but that does not mean [...] that China has the [...] jurisdiction to go in and use force to take
over Taiwan, President Joe Biden, via CNN.
