Force is a 'last resort' for Taiwan reunification, said Zhou Bo, senior fellow at Tsinghua University's Center for International Strategy and Security Studies.
It's important to remember that Biden was describing a "hypothetical situation," said Susan Thornton, retired senior U.S. diplomat and senior fellow at Yale Law School Paul Tsai China Center.
"It is just unfortunate that everyone keeps talking about an invasion of Taiwan, militarizing that situation," Thornton said on CNBC's "Squawk Box Asia" on Wednesday. "There should not be an imminent crisis in Taiwan and the more we talk about it, the more we drive toward it, in my view.
"Of course, if the Taiwan authorities [are] against this possibility of reunification indefinitely, of course we have to be well prepared," Zhou said. "We are not sorry for that."Biden was in Tokyo this week as his administration seeks to build up political ties in the region as part of a counter to China's growing heft.with 12 other partner countries in the region, including Australia, Japan and the Republic of Korea.

While Washington is required by law to provide Taiwan with the means to defend itself, it has long followed a policy of 'strategic ambiguity' on whether it would intervene militarily to protect Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack. After Biden made the remark at a joint news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo, an aide said the president's statement represented no change in the long-standing American stance to the island that China claims as its own.
