The United States authorities keep coordinating with its regional allies and partners the issue of China’s recently launched military drills near Taiwan, the US Department of State Spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement on Monday, APA reports citing TASS.
"The United States is seriously concerned by the People’s Liberation Army joint military drills in the Taiwan Strait and around Taiwan," Miller said. "The PRC response with military provocations to a routine annual speech is unwarranted and risks escalation."
"We call on the PRC to act with restraint and to avoid any further actions that may undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and in the broader region, which is essential to regional peace and prosperity and a matter of international concern," Miller continued.
"We continue to monitor PRC activities and coordinate with allies and partners regarding our shared concerns," the statement said.
"The United States remains committed to its longstanding one China policy, guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances," the US Department of State spokesperson added.
The Chinese Defense Ministry’s press office announced earlier in the day that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) launched ‘Joint Sword-2024B’ military drills near Taiwan.
