Taiwan is vowing not to bow to China and its president is vowing to defend its Democracy. This comes after China has flown  military jets into Taiwan's air defense zone.

President Tsai Ing-wen is defiant toward Chinese President Xi Jinping’s vow to "fulfil reunification." Her speech is being denounced by China however, the nation believes it "incited confrontation." The White House has been forced to take note of the recent flights over Taiwan.

“We remain concerned by the People’s Republic of China’s provocative military activity near Taiwan, which is destabilizing risk miscalculations and undermines a regional peace and stability. We urge Beijing to seize its military, diplomatic and economic pressure and coercion against Taiwan," explains Jen Psaki, the White House Press Secretary.

But the press secretary makes it clear the White House is not planning to move quickly.

“Our commitment to Taiwan is rock solid and contributes to the maintenance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and within the region. We have been clear privately and publicly about our concern about the PRC’s pressure and coercion toward Taiwan and we will continue to watch the situation very closely," Psaki says.

A Pennsylvania businessman tells us he sees China taking over, not just Taiwan’s attention, but the US business world. He says any comments made by the White House are just President Joe Biden being a politician.

“I think it’s just a dog and pony show and people can be fooled by the simplest things. He’s going to pretend that he’s tough on China. But the fruits of how tough he is will not be shown," says Charlie Charnigo, a Pennsylvania businessman.

Charnigo says the people who get hurt here are in Taiwan.

“What’s going to happen with our strategic alliance with the Taiwanese? As the Chinese Navy is just infesting the South China Sea. They’re building islands. Taiwan’s gotta be wondering who's got their back?” he says.
