Speaking to reporters at Dover Air Force Base on Aug. 8, U.S. President Joe Biden said that he did not believe the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) presented an immediate threat to Taiwan but expressed concern about the number of troops and materiel being moved about the region.

“I’m not worried,” Biden said, “but I’m concerned that they’re moving as much as they are.”
