In the face of media inquiries, John Kirby, the strategic communications coordinator at the White House National Security Council, said he did not want to speculate on China's actions.

He also reiterated the US position, pointing out that there is no reason to turn the tensions around the Taiwan Strait into any form of conflict, and the US abides by the one-China policy.

He also quoted US President Joe Biden as saying that he did not want to see anyone unilaterally change the status quo, especially the use of force.

Regarding China's actions against Taiwan, Kirby said that the US message has always been the same, that the US does not support Taiwan's independence and supports Taiwan's self-defense capabilities in accordance with the Taiwan Relations Act.
