"It's the fact that Biden makes a statement to try to...

TAIPEI, Taiwan – A failure to deter China from invading Taiwan could well lead to a deadly conflict between Beijing’s troops and the U.S., lawmakers and policy experts warn.

As hot wars rage in the Middle East and Europe, the fragile peace in the Indo-Pacific is being regarded by some as one of the last barriers between the U.S. and a full-scale global fight not seen since World War II.

"What I do worry about is it would escalate to a scale that we have not seen," House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital from a hotel in Taipei. "I talk about Churchill and the unnecessary war – we could have prevented it earlier and saved a lot of blood and treasure. We're gonna be spending a hell of a lot more money, and a lot more blood and treasure, if we get thrown into what my father’s generation got thrown into."

McCaul led a delegation to Taiwan to meet with its newly-inaugurated government days after China staged
