The United States is seriously concerned about the military exercises of the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA) around Taiwan, according to a statement by State Department spokesman Matthew Miller.
""The United States is seriously concerned about joint military exercises of the People's Liberation Army in the Taiwan Strait and around Taiwan. The PRC's response to a routine annual offensive with military provocations is unfounded and fraught with escalation," the statement published on the State Department website reads.
The representative of the department added that the United States calls on the PRC to exercise restraint and avoid any further actions that “could undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and in the region as a whole.” proAdvertisingrostov-svechi.ruAdvertisingya-travel.clubAdvertisingbtpeel.ruAdvertisingru.yutong.com “We continue to monitor the actions of the PRC and coordinate our actions with allies and partners regarding our common problems,” Miller added.
Earlier, Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Combat Command spokesman Li Xi said that China on Monday began military exercises "Joint Sharp Sword 2024B" around Taiwan to practice joint assault, blockade and take control of key ports and areas of the island. .
The situation around Taiwan escalated significantly after the visit of Nancy Pelosi, then Speaker of the US House of Representatives, to the island in early August 2022. China, which considers the island one of its provinces, condemned Pelosi's visit as US support for Taiwanese separatism and held large-scale military exercises.
Official relations between the central government of China and its island province were interrupted in 1949 after the Kuomintang forces led by Chiang Kai-shek, defeated in the civil war with the Chinese Communist Party, moved to Taiwan. Business and informal contacts between the island and mainland China resumed in the late 1980s. Since the early 1990s, the parties began to contact through non-governmental organizations - the Beijing Association for the Development of Relations across the Taiwan Strait and the Taipei Cross-Strait Exchange Foundation.
