    China reduced its rhetoric regarding Taiwan this week, stating that it is certain that Taiwan’s self-governing status will be brought under its control, however it will support efforts to make it happen peacefully.

    The remarks followed remarks by Vice President Biden saying that U.S. would stand up for Taiwan in the event that China were to invade . The remarks occurred a day following U.S. and Canadian warships sailing along the Taiwan Strait.

    The comments don’t seem to suggest a shift in policy more of an attempt to ease tensions across multiple fronts during the build-up to a crucial gathering of China’s government Communist Party next month.
