EDITORIAL: Expanding security partnershipsUS President Joe Biden on Thursday last week vowed to support peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait — the first time he did so in a State of the Union Address. “We’re standing up against China’s unfair economic practices, and standing up for peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait,” he said. Biden added that he has revitalized the nation’s partnerships and alliances in the Asia-Pacific region and made sure the most advanced US technologies cannot be used in Chinese weapons. Taiwan should also advance cooperation with international like-minded democracies, especially with neighboring the Philippines, India, Japan and South Korea. Having a shared threat perception could be one of the most important drivers for closer strategic relations, experts have said.
