China has been interested in Taiwan for many US Presidents; and their main interest right now is controlling the oceans around China to better control that part of the world.
What is currently happening in that area started at least a decade ago (and perhaps 15 years ago) when China started to claim territory that is also claimed by others and when China started to challenge international boundaries and standards. This has nothing to do with President Biden - and he is responding stronger than your post indicates. It has to do with it took China this long to build up their Navy and Air Force to be able to actively challenge away from their immediate coast.
The USA and other countries are actively engaged in military activities in that area at the highest rate since WW II to let China know that the their plans are not going unchallenged. The USA and UK have just announced plans to sell nuclear powered submarines to Australia to counter China's Navy in that part of the world.
