Biden shouldn't confuse Taiwan with Ukraine

Taiwan is not Ukraine. China, in that part of the world especially, is not Russia. Still, in his off-the-cuff remarks that the United States will come directly to Taiwan's rescue if Beijing chooses to take the self-governing island by force, President Joe Biden has reawakened China's worst nightmare. What that looks like is simple: There will be no easy or peaceful accession of Taiwan to the mainland anytime soon, if ever.
