US congressman promises ‘resolute reaction’ if Taiwan attacked


Taipei (AFP) – Any unprovoked attack on Taiwan will result in a “resolute reaction” from Washington, US Congressman Rob Wittman says during a visit to Taipei. While the United States officially recognises Beijing over Taipei, it is Taiwan’s key ally, providing weapons and aid to boost its defences against an increasingly aggressive China. Wittman also promises to help resolve the delivery backlog of weapons purchased by Taiwan.
