US Secretary of State Blinken said that China sought to intimidate not only Taiwan but also its neighbors.
China’s reaction to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan was a “blatant provocation.” This is what US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said at the East Asia Summit in Cambodia, Reuters wrote.
China sought to intimidate not only Taiwan but also its neighbors after it launched the largest military exercise in history in the Taiwan Strait, he said.
According to CNN, Blinken emphasized that nothing has changed in the US position on the “one China” principle after Nancy Pelosi’s visit.
“I very much hope that Beijing “will not create a crisis or find an excuse to increase aggressive military activity,” he said.
According to Blinken, many countries around the world are convinced that escalation “will not win for anyone and may have unintended consequences that will not benefit anyone’s interests, including ASEAN members and China … The United States remains interested in maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait,” – said the US Secretary of State.
It can be remembered that on August 2-3, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, visited Taiwan.
In conjunction with his arrival, the People’s Liberation Army of China (PLA) began “unprecedented” military exercises around Taiwan.
