(Washington = Yonhap News) Correspondent Ryu Ji-bok = The White House on the 12th (local time) criticized the Chinese military protests against the visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan as provocative and overreacted.
Kurt Campbell, White House National Security Council Indo-Pacific Coordinator, said at a press briefing that China used Pelosi’s visit as an excuse to change the current situation and jeopardize peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
This indicates that, although Chairman Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan did not undermine the ‘one China’ principle, China has taken unjust actions to suppress Taiwan. regarded as an expression.
Coordinator Campbell said the US response would be patient and effective, noting that China’s actions were provocative, destabilizing and unprecedented.
He also said that while Chinese troops have completed military training, some of the Chinese warships still remain around Taiwan.
He also made it clear that the US would continue to operate ‘freedom of navigation’ in the Taiwan Strait.
“We will continue to take calm and decisive measures to maintain peace and stability,” he said.
The United States will fly, sail and operate anywhere consistent with its long-standing promises of freedom of navigation under international law, including the passage of air and ships in the Taiwan Strait in the coming weeks.
