USA sees Chinese maneuvers around Taiwan as a “significant escalation” of tension in the area and decided to leave the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan near the island to observe the situation announced this Thursday John Kirbyone of the representatives White House.

“Beijing’s provocative actions are a significant escalation of actions that the Chinese government has long taken to change the status quo,” Kirby said.

At the daily press conference White Houseexplained that the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and other ships in its battle group plan to remain in the area and conduct air and sea operations in the Taiwan Strait in the coming weeks.

However, in order not to escalate tension, Joe Biden government made the decision to postpone scheduled intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) tests scheduled for this week, although they will be conducted within a “short period of time,” Kirby said.

According to the representative, Biden made this decision because “the temperature is very high” in relations with China, and he wants to demonstrate “by actions what they say in words”, that is, that he does not intend to provoke tensions with Beijing and that his policy is almost half a century attitude towards Taiwan has not changed.

Chinese military maneuvers

Military maneuvers China occurred less than 24 hours after the visit Taiwan Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Democrat Nancy Pelosi.

Kirby felt that Beijing took advantage of the visit Pelosi “overreact” and escalate tensions with actions that he believes will continue in the coming days and weeks.

Exercises Chinawhat Taipei considers it a “violation of their rights”, led to the closure of sea and air space in six areas around the island, one of them about 20 kilometers from the coast of Kaohsiung, the main city in the south Taiwan.

In addition, five ballistic missiles from China fell into the waters belonging to the special economic zone (EEZ) of Japan, according to the Japanese government, which filed a formal protest with the Chinese executive branch.

In recent days, the White House has insisted that USA has not changed its policy on Taiwan despite Pelosi’s trip, the first trip by a speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives to the island in 25 years.
