Several foreign media outlets, including the Financial Times, recently reported that Chinese President Xi Jinping had claimed during a 2023 meeting with EU President Ursula von der Leyen that the US was attempting to deceive China into invading Taiwan but he would not fall for it. This report sparked a significant response, but the US Department of State quickly responded by refuting and sternly denying the claim. The US reiterated its One China policy stance and commitment to stability in the Taiwan Strait. Additionally, the Biden administration has emphasized support for Taiwan's security with a $2 billion aid package as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, and President Biden has publicly stated the US would defend Taiwan if China were to launch an unprecedented attack.
