US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said on Friday that military maneuvers China near Taiwan are a “significant escalation”.

Blinken said the exercise, launched by Beijing in response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, “has no justification.”

China has launched ballistic missiles and deployed fighter jets and warships around Taiwan.

“These provocative actions are a serious escalation,” Blinken said after talks with Southeast Asian foreign ministers in Cambodia.

Blinken said China attempts to disrupt the fragile “status quo” in Taiwan, which the ruling Communist Party of China considered part of its territory.

He noted that at a recent meeting in Indonesia, he warned Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi that Pelosi would likely visit the island.

“We expect that China could take such steps, we actually described exactly this scenario, ”said Blinken.

“The fact is that the visit of the speaker of the House of Representatives was peaceful. There is no justification for this extreme, disproportionate and intensifying military response.”

He said that the US position on Taiwan has not changed and that it will not be “provoked” by China’s actions. (AFP)

Criminal defense lawyer Carlos Caro emphasized that the criteria of Attorney General Patricia Benavidez prevailed, who said that the President did not have the privilege of choosing the place of the trial due to his condition under investigation. A similar opinion was expressed by a lawyer specializing in the field of constitutional and criminal procedure law Wilber Medina.
