Biden's new stance of strategic confusion on Taiwan
CNN
If a US President keeps vowing to do something, and his aides keep insisting he won't, no one is sure what to believe -- a potential dangerous state of affairs on fraught international issues.
This is now the American position on Taiwan after President Joe Biden said, for at least the third time, that the US would be willing to intervene militarily should the Chinese attack, before the White House again walked it back.
His remarks quickly reverberated around the world, sparking seething anger in Beijing, an opportunistic welcome in Taipei and reigniting a smoldering debate over Taiwan on Capitol Hill.

Another top Democratic contender for Michigan’s open Senate seat has begun informing colleagues she will take a pass on the race, according to three people familiar with the conversations, narrowing the field for a seat that Democrats are increasingly worried about whether they can keep next November.
