It’s a power play. Biden isn’t going to commit forces to this situation because it would mean serious war. if I were China, I’d go for it.

Mr. Kishida, the next likely PM of Japan has made it pretty clear that Japan needs to work together with the US in case they have to respond to a Taiwan invasion scenario.

Here's how you know JP will seriously engage in TW defense, if they adopt any of the recommendations US think tanks believe is necessary to make US forces survivable in TW defense scenarios. Increase defense budget substantially, hosting US IRBMs, allowing US assets to spread out over other JP islands (agile combat deployment). Non of this is politically feasible, especially the latter since it expose JP population centres to PRC retaliation. For reference Japanese won't even allow US Aegis Ashore ABM to defend themselves against NK nukes.
