U.S. 'provocative and irresponsible' in 'simulating China's attack on Taiwan'

The White House condemned Taiwan's announcement on the 6th local time that China conducted a simulated attack using military aircraft, etc., as "provocative and irresponsible".

The White House, in the name of a spokesperson, said, "This activity is a Chinese attempt to change the status quo. It is provocative, irresponsible and increases the risk of misjudgment."

"This also goes against our long-standing goal of maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait," the White House said in a statement.
