Chinese President Xi Jinping said that his country reserves its right to take “all measures necessary” to prevent “interference by outside forces" concerning Taiwan.
"We will continue to strive for peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and the utmost effort,” he added. “But we will never promise to renounce the use of force, and we reserve the option of taking all measures necessary.”Beijing considers the self-governed island of nearly 25 million people to be a part of the mainland, while the Taiwanese consider themselves to be an independent nation. The U.S. recognizes China's claim to the island but helps Taiwan defend itself.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan referred to China as the country's"most consequential geopolitical challenge,” during a briefing on the strategy, though he noted,"We're not seeking to have competition tip over into confrontation or a new Cold War. And we are not engaging each country as simply a proxy battleground. We're going to engage countries on their own terms and pursue an affirmative agenda to advance common interests and to promote stability and prosperity.
"What we've seen right before the speaker had visited, during that visit, and after that visit, is a clear attempt by the Chinese to permanently alter the status quo in and around Taiwan, and to sort of set a new normal for their activities and behaviors," National Security Council coordinator John Kirby told reporters in late August.
