President Joe Biden, at a summit of East Asian leaders on Oct. 27, said the United States was deeply concerned by the Chinese regime’s “coercive” actions in the Taiwan Strait.

His comments came weeks after Beijing deployed a record number of aircraft into Taiwan’s air defense zone, prompting sharp protest from the self-ruled island and the United States.
