“Our communication channels with the People’s Republic of China remain open and we have always called for moderation and for the status quoa spokesman for the US State Department said.
“We are confident that we have sufficient resources and capabilities in the region to ensure peace and stability,” the spokesman also said, adding that the United States is “closely monitoring China’s actions.”
Beijing today conducted a “total encirclement” exercise on the island in the Taiwan Strait, the first day of military maneuvers that will last until Monday, mobilizing at least nine warships and 71 military aircraft, according to Taiwan’s defense ministry .
These maneuvers are presented in retaliation for a recent meeting in the United States between Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy and Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, who condemned China’s “authoritarian expansionism”.
Today on the social network Twitter, Kevin McCarthy reiterated: “There’s no way China can tell me where to go or who to talk to.”
