China warns US with military exercises around Taiwan

High schools around Taiwan announced that the Chinese army recently conducted a “serious warning” against its “collusion” with the United States, Chinese media reported. US President Joe Biden angered China on Monday appearing to send a message that the US policy of “strategic ambiguity” over Taiwan has changed, saying the US will be militarily involved if China attacks the island.

However, Biden said yesterday, Tuesday, that there is no change in US policy, as broadcast by Reuters and rebroadcast by the Athens News Agency.

The Eastern Liberation Army’s Eastern Operations Command said it recently conducted patrols and exercises in the air and sea around Taiwan.

“It’s a serious warning against the recent collusion between the United States and Taiwan,” said Xi Yi, a spokesman for the administration, according to state television.

“It is hypocritical and useless for the United States to say one thing and do another on the issue of Taiwan,” he said.

China has never renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan under democratic rule under its control, and the Taiwan Straits remain a potential military flashpoint.

While the United States adheres to China’s one-size-fits-all policy, recognizing only Beijing, it has made a commitment under the US-Taiwan Relations Act to “help equip Taiwan with the means to defend itself.”

Despite this, they maintained a long policy of uncertainty about their reaction to a possible Chinese attack on the island.
