Somalilandsun: The U.S. urges Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with Taiwan’s democratically elected representatives. We support a peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues.
This comes in the wake of numerous violations of the Taiwan airspace by the People’s Republic of China Airforce.
The US warning was applauded by the Taiwanese government through a tweet by the ministry of Foreign Affairs @MOFA_Taiwan that stated We sincerely thank @StateDeptf forits rock-solid support of democratic #Taiwan
in the face of Beijing’s ongoing coercion. Based on shared values & interests, we’re committed to our partnership with the #US in furthering peace & stability in the #IndoPacific.

Quote – The United States notes with concern the pattern of ongoing PRC attempts to intimidate its neighbors, including Taiwan. We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with Taiwan’s democratically elected representatives.
We will stand with friends and allies to advance our shared prosperity, security, and values in the Indo-Pacific region — and that includes deepening our ties with democratic Taiwan. The United States will continue to support a peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues, consistent with the wishes and best interests of the people on Taiwan. The United States maintains its longstanding commitments as outlined in the Three Communiqués, the Taiwan Relations Act, and the Six Assurances. We will continue to assist Taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self-defense capability. Our commitment to Taiwan is rock-solid and contributes to the maintenance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and within the region.
On the other hand the Government of Taiwan has told China to Back-off as incursions increase
