United States envoy in Taiwan said Washington will turn its attention to the self-ruled island, which is threatened by China, should the three-year-long Russia-Ukraine war end. The Chinese communist government has claimed that
Taiwan is its territory despite never having ruled the island, warning that it "
reserves all options," including the use of force.
While the U.S. does not have an official relationship with Taiwan, it is
required by law to provide the island with defensive arms while maintaining its own capability to resist any attempt to resolve differences across the
Taiwan Strait by other than peaceful means.
