U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has said a Chinese invasion of Taiwan remains a ¡°distinct threat,¡± while insisting that the Biden administration hasn¡¯t changed its position over the island¡¯s status, despite Chinese claims to the contrary.

¡°I think it remains a distinct threat that there could be a military contingency around Taiwan,¡± Sullivan said in an interview.

Although Sullivan offered no prediction of when such an attack might occur, he said, ¡°The People¡¯s Republic of China has actually stated as official policy that it is not taking the invasion of Taiwan off the table.¡±
