US warns China against "provocative" actions

As tensions rise, the United States has cautioned China to stop acting in a "provocative" manner towards Taiwan.

The American government accuses the other great power of escalating tensions by conducting military exercises.

According to the White House, China's attempts "to disrupt the status quo" represent a major uptick.

According to a spokeswoman, "They are provocative, careless, and increase the chance of miscalculation."

Additionally, they conflict with our long-standing objective of preserving tranquillity and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

On Saturday, 20 Chinese aircraft were attacked by Taiwanese planes, 14 of which had crossed the centre line.

14 Chinese navy ships were seen by the defence ministry manoeuvring in the Strait.

The exercises, according to Taiwan's authorities, seem to simulate an attack on its territory.

After Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the US House of Representatives visited Taiwan, drills were started by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA).

No nation should underestimate China's "strong will and vast potential to preserve state sovereignty and to accomplish national reunification," according to the Chinese leadership.
