President Joe Biden offered no words of congratulations or support to Taiwanese President-elect Lai Ching-te following his election victory on Saturday, telling reporters simply that America does “not support independence.”

Lai, of the anti-communist Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), defeated two leftist rivals on Saturday to hand his party an unprecedented third term in power. Lai is currently the vice president of the country and will succeed current DPP President Tsai Ing-wen.

Poopy pants is upset. 🙄

[blackdog]

10% keeps him on message.

We KNOW Briben does NOT support independence. We’re seeing that, first hand, here 🤬

[piytar]

telling reporters simply that America does “not support independence.”

First honest words we've heard from Biden. BTW, I'm sure that applies to America, too.

Xi paid good money for Biden. He answered like the good dog that he is.

[Leaning Right]

Wow. You’d think Biden’s boss would at least give Biden permission to say something pleasant, yet vague. But I guess he who pays the piper calls the tune.

We haven’t recognized an independent Taiwan...ever.

When we switched official diplomatic recognition of China from Taipei to Beijing in 1979, that didn’t come with an official recognition of Taiwan’s independence.

All of our actions with regards to Taiwan are technically “unofficial”; on paper and diplomatically, America has considered Taiwan to be a part of China for decades.

Biden’s boss in China is not happy...

[FreeReign]

Congratulations Taiwanese President-elect Lai Ching-te!!

[bk1000]

Xi’s lapdog. He should be ashamed, but he is too incognizant for such a complex emotion.

[PGR88]

Joe and his deep-state handlers have decided they have their hands full (and that China has them by the short and curlies)

No war with China for now.

[glorgau]

Points for honesty.

An honest politician is one that stays bought.

The ChiComs helped the 20 steal in a big way. They expect a lot more than giving a surveillance balloon safe passage in return.

[sasquatch]

Independence bad. Depends are cool man.

Did Biden say it sounds better in the original Mandarin?

[Theoria]

Correct, and the US has sacrificed enough blood and treasure for the world and other countries already.

[Organic Panic]

China bought the USA’s destruction for a bargain. A couple million to a crack addled sex fiend to give to his chomo father is all it took.

[redangus]

Either the check cleared, or Joe was sent a copy of Hunter’s cocaine infused pre-teen girl sex video.

[Jane Long]

No doubt!

[SaxxonWoods]

He doesn’t even support independence in the USA.
