White House: China’s actions around Taiwan are ‘provocative, irresponsible’

WASHINGTON, 07 August 2022, (TON): The White House said on Saturday that China’s actions in and around the Taiwan Strait were provocative and irresponsible after Taiwan officials said Chinese aircraft and warships rehearsed an attack on the island.

A White House spokesperson said “these activities are a significant escalation in China’s efforts to change the status quo. They are provocative, irresponsible, and raise the risk of miscalculation.”

The spokesperson said “they are also at odds with our long-standing goal of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, which is what the world expects.”
