US Warns China Over Military Drills Near Taiwan, Calls for Restraint
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the US State Department has criticized China’s recent military exercises near Taiwan, warning they unnecessarily escalate tensions in the region. Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Bigot stated on Thursday that Beijing’s actions and rhetoric toward Taiwan and neighboring countries are destabilizing. The US called on China to exercise restraint, halt military pressure on Taiwan, and instead participate in constructive dialogue.
Bigot emphasized that the US supports peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and opposes any unilateral changes to the status quo, particularly those achieved through force or coercion. The statement comes as tensions in the South China Sea and around Taiwan have intensified in recent months, raising concerns about potential military conflict between Beijing and Taipei.
