Recent statements by the President of the United States, Joe Bidenin which he affirms that the United States is willing to intervene militarily in Taiwan, once again strained the relationship with China. “It is a serious violation of the important commitment of the United States not to support Taiwan independence,” Mao Ning warned.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman.
Biden offered an interview to the CBS network, which was broadcast this Sunday, in which, when asked if the United States would defend Taiwan, the American president replied: “In an unprecedented attack, yes.”
The spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry considered that Biden’s statements “Send a Bad, Serious Signal of Support for Taiwanese Separatist Forces” and Continue to Break the “One China” Agreementwhich Washington took from 1979, when it decided to break diplomatic relations with the island.
Since then, the United States went on to recognize Beijing as the sole representative of China., when he began to build the strong commercial bond, although he never stopped supporting the separatist island. The moment of current tension was unleashed from the Nancy Pelosi visit to TaiwanSpeaker of the US House of Representatives and a key Biden ally.
Despite Biden’s statements. The Chinese spokeswoman said that the Asian giant is “willing to make the greatest and sincere efforts to move towards the prospect of peaceful reunification.”but without tolerating “any activity that seeks to divide the country”, that is, that implies the independence of Taiwan.
Since Pelosi’s visit to Taipei, the capital of the separatist island, China has increased its military tests at sea. In fact, last week, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry reported that Chinese military drones crossed the Formosa Strait for the first time, an unofficial border tacitly respected. The island denounced that a week ago planes and some 25 Chinese ships did so.
