The United States said it did not consider it necessary to "correct mistakes" in relations with China

“We don't want a crisis.

We are not looking for a crisis.

And frankly, there is no reason for a crisis to break out of this, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Kirby blamed the rise in tensions on China.

According to him, the PRC authorities can reduce it by stopping the "provocative" exercises and the corresponding rhetoric.

The politician also stressed that Washington does not consider it necessary to "correct mistakes" after the visit of Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.

On August 3, Pelosi ended her visit to Taiwan and headed to South Korea.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry subsequently announced that China would impose sanctions on the speaker of the US House of Representatives and her immediate family due to a trip to Taiwan.

Washington called China's sanctions against Pelosi unjustified.
