AOC won’t say whether US should defend Taiwan if China invades
AOC framed China as a rising power focused on competition and U.S. investment rather than committing troops to defend Taiwan at the Munich Security Conference.
- On Friday at the Munich Security Conference, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stumbled when asked whether the U.S. would commit troops to defend Taiwan on a Bloomberg-moderated panel with Gretchen Whitmer and Matt Whitaker.
- Ocasio-Cortez framed China as an ascending global power acting in its own self-interest and urged investments in science and health research, criticizing President Donald Trump’s cuts to NIH funding.
- Marked by numerous pauses, her reply emphasized the U.S. should avoid military confrontation and focus on economic and research efforts, as the question about the Taiwan troop was asked by Francine Lacqua.
- Media coverage quickly amplified the moment, and video of the panel is available to watch via C-SPAN, while the exchange appeared in the Mediaite One-Sheet.
- The moderator framed the broader question as whether China is an economic competitor, military threat, or ideological adversary, while panelists contrasted China’s energy investment with the United States narrowing its energy mix.
