Gessler, on October 13, 2022, drew my attention to:

The Biden White House's, National Security Strategy 2022a 48 page PDF document, that naturally covers a lot. It is especially interesting regarding: 

TAIWAN page 24: "We have an abiding interest in maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, which is critical to regional and global security and prosperity and a matter of international concern and attention. We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side, and do not support Taiwan independence. We remain committed to our one China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the Three Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances. And we will uphold our commitments under the Taiwan Relations Act to [But the US] support Taiwan’s self-defense and to maintain our capacity to resist any resort to force or coercion against Taiwan." 

RUSSIA-UKRAINE page 26:"The United States will not allow Russia, or any power, to achieve its objectives through using, or threatening to use, nuclear weapons. America retains an interest in preserving strategic stability and developing a more expansive, transparent, and verifiable arms control infrastructure to succeed New START and in rebuilding European security arrangements which, due to Russia’s actions, have fallen in to disrepair."

[Within the document Control-F for many other references to Ukraine]

INDIA, QUAD, AUKUS page 37:"As we work with South Asian regional partners to address climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the PRC’s coercive behavior, we will promote prosperity and economic connectivity across the Indian Ocean region. The Quad and AUKUS will also be critical to addressing regional challenges, and we will further reinforce our collective strength by weaving our allies and partners closer together—including by encouraging tighter linkages between likeminded Indo-Pacific and European countries." 

AUSTRALIA JAPAN KOREA INDIA page 38:"...We reaffirm our iron-clad commitments to our Indo-Pacific treaty allies—Australia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand—and we will continue to modernize these alliances. We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the defense of Japan under our mutual security treaty, which covers the Senkaku Islands [Pete Comment: A complication for Biden is that Taiwan also claims the Senkakus - calling them the "Tiaoyutai" islands] . As India is the world’s largest democracy and a Major Defense Partner, the United States and India will work together, bilaterally and multilaterally, to support our shared vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific..." 

There are many other interesting parts including "Deepen Our Alliance with Europe" from page 38 onwards.
