China says US is stepping up forces to exacerbate Taiwan crisis

“They (USA. -

) are bringing together individual partners in order to add fuel to the fire, are building up their military presence in the region and will help escalate the situation, and are also hatching plans to create a new, even larger crisis,” the message says.

Wang Yi did not rule out that the pro-Taiwan independence forces might continue to stage provocations.

Earlier, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said that the United States is shifting responsibility for the crisis that arose around Taiwan after the visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the island.
