While the United States is legally bound to provide arms to Taiwan, Washington has long maintained a policy of "strategic ambiguity" over whether it would deploy military assets to defend the island from a Chinese attack.

Despite strong bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress for Taiwan, there are fears that President Trump might not consider the island worth defending if China were to attack.

Since Mr. Trump took office in January, his administration has signaled no clear change in stance on Taiwan

but China accused the U.S. last week of having "gravely backpedaled" on its position and sending the wrong message to "separatist forces" after a U.S. government fact sheet was changed to remove the phrase, "we do not support Taiwan independence."
