President Joe Biden’s tenure has seen the world go from precarious to outright perilous. Under his watch, Europe has plunged into its most devastating conflict since World War II.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine erupted on his administration’s watch, signaling a breakdown in global deterrence. The Biden administration’s response? Tepid sanctions and endless pledges of aid that seem more symbolic than strategic.

Meanwhile, the Middle East has exploded in violence, with decades-old conflicts reigniting like fireworks on the Fourth of July.

Now, Biden is playing with matches in Asia. The president’s foreign policy record is one of destabilization, and his latest move seems poised to create yet another conflict zone.

Instead of restoring calm, Biden has authorized actions that antagonize China—a nation that doesn’t need much encouragement to flex its military muscle. Now, just days before he leaves office, Biden is making major missteps.

From Fox News:
China has warned the U.S. that it is making “dangerous moves” by providing Taiwan with an additional $571 million in defense materials, which was authorized by President Biden on Saturday…

The Chinese Foreign Ministry released a statement urging the U.S. to stop arming Taiwan and to cease what it referred to as “dangerous moves that undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait,” according to a report from The Associated Press.

Asia on the Brink

On Saturday, Biden approved a hefty $571 million military aid package to Taiwan. This comes on top of $295 million in military sales approved just a day earlier. In the spirit of Christmas giving, it seems Biden is delivering tactical radios and gun mounts like they’re stocking stuffers.

But not everyone’s feeling festive—least of all China. Beijing has issued stern warnings, calling the aid a “dangerous move” that undermines peace in the Taiwan Strait. When China says “dangerous,” they don’t mean jaywalking; they mean war.

China’s rhetoric has escalated alongside its actions. The communist regime routinely dispatches ships and military aircraft near Taiwan, sending a “very simple” message: “We’ll take it by force if we must.”

U.S. arms sales, while intended to help Taiwan defend itself, may be doing the opposite—provoking China into proving its threats aren’t empty. Biden’s decision feels less like strategy and more like playing chicken with a tank.

China vs. Biden: A Dangerous Game

The U.S. isn’t just arming Taiwan; it’s putting on a fireworks show for China’s leadership. Over the past year, Taiwan has secured billions in arms deals, including advanced missile systems battle-tested in Ukraine.

The timing couldn’t be worse. Chinese naval ships and military planes are swarming the Taiwan Strait like ants at a picnic. Taiwanese officials fear these maneuvers are a prelude to full-scale war.

Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has been strengthening ties with the U.S., even holding talks with congressional leaders during a recent visit to Guam.

Naturally, this has enraged Beijing. It doesn’t take a geopolitical analyst to see where this is heading. With tensions already sky-high, Biden’s latest aid package is like tossing a gallon of gasoline onto a bonfire.

Biden’s “Dangerous Moves”

China’s Foreign Ministry has demanded the U.S. stop arming Taiwan. But Biden’s administration doesn’t seem interested in heeding the warnings.

Instead, they’re doubling down, citing a commitment to Taiwan’s defense. While Taiwan’s leaders cheer these deals as affirmations of U.S. support, one has to wonder: Is Biden genuinely committed to peace, or is he sleepwalking into another international crisis?

Adding to the unease is Biden’s track record. Under his leadership, American diplomacy has stumbled at nearly every turn. Afghanistan’s chaotic withdrawal? Check. Weak deterrence in Europe? Check.

Now, Asia seems poised to become the next proving ground for Biden’s lackluster foreign policy. If this administration has a strategy, it’s as elusive as a unicorn in a fog.

The Taiwan Strait: A Powder Keg

China views Taiwan as a breakaway province, one that must eventually reunite with the mainland—by force, if necessary.

Beijing’s military posturing isn’t just for show. The daily deployment of ships and planes around Taiwan signals that China’s patience is wearing thin. Meanwhile, Biden’s actions suggest he’s willing to risk escalating tensions to prove a point.

But what’s the endgame? If the goal is to deter China, the strategy feels half-baked.

If it’s to protect Taiwan, the current moves could backfire spectacularly. One misstep, one miscalculation, and the world could see a conflict of catastrophic proportions.

Key Takeaways:

• Biden’s Failures Are Global: Wars in Europe and the Middle East are now joined by rising tensions in Asia. This is Biden’s foreign policy legacy.
• Taiwan in the Crosshairs: Biden’s military aid may embolden Taiwan, but it’s enraging China. The region is closer to war than peace.
• The World Needs Leadership, Not Chaos: Biden’s erratic moves have destabilized global order. The next chapter may be even more dangerous.
