China has once again engaged in military activities near Taiwan, raising concerns about regional security and global prosperity. The Department of State, through its spokesperson Tammy Bruce, released a statement on April 1, 2025, addressing these actions.
"Once again, China’s aggressive military activities and rhetoric toward Taiwan only serve to exacerbate tensions and put the region’s security and the world’s prosperity at risk," said Bruce. The spokesperson emphasized the United States' commitment to its allies and partners, including Taiwan, in the face of China's actions.
"The United States supports peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and opposes unilateral changes to the status quo, including through force or coercion," Bruce declared. The statement underscores the U.S.'s stance on maintaining stability in the region amidst escalating tensions.
