Taiwan officials believe it's in reprisal for their president's D.C. meeting with Kevin McCarthy.
three Chinese warships had sailed round the self-governing island and two military aircraft had been detected in its Air Defense Identification Zone on Friday.What they're saying:
A State Department spokesperson told Axios in an email Thursday that U.S. officials "have been very clear that there is no reason for Beijing to turn this transit — "which was consistent with longstanding U.S. policy — into something it is not or use it as pretext to overreact." The spokesperson said U.S. communication channels with Chinese officials remain open "and we have consistently urged restraint" and for the status quo of peace in the Asia-Pacific region to remain.
"The risk of miscalculation and escalation would have direct impacts to global security and prosperity," the spokesperson added. "The United States shares with other countries an abiding interest in peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and in the broader Indo-Pacific region, which impact global security and prosperity."
