The American government today condemned his “irresponsible” decision. China conduct rocket launches near Taiwanassessing that he expects Beijing to continue reacting to the visit of the President of the US House of Representatives in the coming days Nancy Pelosi in Taipei.

“Beijing’s provocative actions represent a significant escalation of its years of efforts to change the status quo,” said White House national security adviser John Kirby.

The United States has decided to postpone an intercontinental ballistic missile test planned for the coming days to avoid a further escalation of tensions. However, the aircraft carrier USS Reagan, which is in the Philippine Sea, “will be monitoring” developments in the Taiwan area, Kirby said at a news conference.
