Tension with China over Taiwan
USA affirmed last Monday that it will continue to operate through the Taiwan Strait, despite the crisis triggered by China for the visit last week to the island of the president of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi.
The Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, Colin Kahl, described in a press conference at the Pentagon that this is “a crisis manufactured” by Beijing.
“We will continue to fly, navigate and operate wherever international law allows us, including across the Taiwan Strait, and we will continue to stand with our allies and partners in the region,” he said.
On the other hand, the head of Defense ruled out that the current crisis has had “profound” consequences on the economy of Taiwan and the world. (EFE)
